whatcha think?

Played a casual this weekend with my shiny new transport cards. i usually only use 4 ships when i run rebs but what do you think of this list. it went up against a four ship rebel build with Ibtisam at its focus. i focus fired on her and she did in the alpha. ended up with a full tarn and a limping wedge but also the victory. he targeted wes because he had garven with R5P9 and i was not allowing him his use of the focus or his garven ability.

Wes + shield + flachette+ VI+ R2 astro

Wedge+ R2 astro+ flachette+ opportunist

Tarn + R7 + flachette

Idea being Wes uses his PS10 to attack with the flachette and then strip the target of a token. Wedge then fires his flachette at the same target using opportunist

and tarn does his tarn-ness.

In round one Ib was stressed after wes' attack which is usually a good thing for Ib. however, wedge makes you roll one less die so she got no dice and then was double stressed and down to two hull. tarn mopped her up. it was greatness. would this build hold up against most other builds though?

Seems to me that you wasted 4 points stressing a dead ship...

List seems fine, though it would possibly struggle against the same thing most triple X lists without Biggs/Shield Regen struggle with: an extended fight against more mobile opponents and/or swarm.
