Good or bad Rebel list

By KnightHammer, in X-Wing

Lando Calrissian

Garven Dreis

Dutch w Ion Turret, R2 Astromech

comes to 99 points, with their abilities they can chuck to each other things like focus, target locks ect quite nicely, should I spend the extra 1 point or leave it?

They have a pretty good PS all over, be just a case off keeping in formation, low defence I know but tough

Make sure garven flies ahead of Dutch to ensure he gets the shot so he can spend his focus. Garven out of range is points wasted.

It's a decent list. Most folks will be sad that you're not squeezing the points to get a Gunner onto Lando, but giving Dutch a turret is more important.

I came up with exactly that list that i dubbed "Token Thanksgiving" back then, except that i had R2s for both fighters. I feel that this one is not really hosed by initiative loss. Sometimes you really want not to have initiative with it since you need your actions and can't bump a lot to stay effective.

Nowadays you could run blaster turret on Dutch and MF title or Numb on Lando. This is effective because you get 6 actions/tokens per turn if played right. An evade every turn on Lando can work wonders for durability, and Dutch will always have Focus from Garven or Lando to fire his turret and TL to make his blaster turret pretty deadly.

The difficult part is really to stay in formation since Lando's buff is only range 1 if i remember right? Also you move him last so you don't want to bump him really. If then you are not too predictable with your movement you might stand a good chance!

The list does not rely on (not) having initiative. So spend the last point.

The list if for a tourney in a couple of weeks, last one at the same place there was about 16 people with various degrees of experience, some still quite new and a lot of the lists there was 3/4 ships with only 2 swarms

Im very much leaning now for Dutch to go with the Blaster due to the extra actions and an R2 to Garven so im thinking, Numb would be good due to Lando's ability to give gifts

Lando w Numb

Dutch w Blaster + R2

Garven w R2
