5x- Green Squadron Pilot (19pts) with Chardaan Refit (-2pts), Push the Limit (3pts)

I used to think Refit was amazing, then I saw Proton Rockets. If you're running an all A-wing list you want some kind of missiles or Outmaneuver to improve chances to hit. PtL is nice, but some way to add dice Attack dice or reduce Defense dice seems necessary to actually deal damage.
Here's 2 A-Wing lists I'll be trying once Rebel Aces comes out.

The bumper would aim to end his manuever where you expect the bumpe to end theirs, thus causing the bumpe to lose their action while the bumper would keep theres. Additionally, because its Avrel, he can shoot the bumpe without fear of return fire.
Either way, Im happy with paying 22 points for a PS8 Awing.
Its a point more than a Rookie, with a much better dial, built in arc dodging, and more defence.
Ah, that makes sense now. At least he is still able to do that against very high skill pilots. Unfortunately he might get himself bumped by someone lower in a furball. Good analysis
I'm not sure about all A-Wings but I am more than ready to finally be able to give daredevil to Arvyl:
Arvyl Crynyd 23
A-Wing Test Pilot 0
Chardaan Refit -2
Daredevil 3
24 Points
Paired with Garven could be firing at an overlapped ship a lot more regularly with a focus no less, throw in Jan + ICT and Airen Cracken and you have yourself a nice interesting list.
Is daredevil just for bumping and are we sure it doesnt work like barrel rolls and boost that Cant be performed if the ship bumps?
If i put daredevil on tycho and he has stress could he still use the upgrade? I mean, daredevil is an action and Tycho Can perform actions while stressed, but daredevil says to perform a red 1turn and i dont know if he Can do that while stressed?

Why not 5x green squadron with Chardan refit and push the limit?
Edit: sorry I didn't see it has been posted before.

This sounds intriguing. A few questions: when i have used arvel in the past he always ends up sitting in the middle of the fray with a shot on his bumpee but without tokens as he loses his action by bumping, also, he then always gets blasted from the sky as he sits token-less and unprotected from all other opponent ships than the one he managed to bump. How Can this scenario be avoided with your setup?I'm not sure about all A-Wings but I am more than ready to finally be able to give daredevil to Arvyl:
Arvyl Crynyd 23
A-Wing Test Pilot 0
Chardaan Refit -2

In reverse order,
They errata'ed Daredevil to change it to a white turn that gives a stress (instead of the red turn), so Tycho can indeed be a Daredevil.
Because Daredevil is classed as a maneuver instead of an action (like BR and boost) you do it exactly like you would a normal move, which means you overlap in the same way as normal.
I think Mace was advocating using Garven or Kyle to grant Arvel a focus token so that he isn't quite so susceptible after losing his action (which he really didn't because Daredevil would be his action).
Posted this on TC yesterday but if I'm trying all A-wing than this is what I'm trying first:
Prototype w/ Refit (15) x2
Green w/ Refit + PTL (20) x2 (or Pred)
Jake w/ Refit + PTL + Title + Outmaneuver (28)
Gives you 2 ships to block with, 2 decent ships in the Greens, and a great end game ship with Jake.

For those two extra points I would consider VI on the Greens. You lose initiative bid, but PS1 still has blocking potential.
