Rexler Brath + Heavy Laser Cannon + Predator + Engine Upgrade (51)
Boba Fett + Veteran Instincts + Navigator + Engine Upgrade (47)
I think the argument over Predator wins over Outmaneuver in this set up. The reroll opens two things, first the small chance of adding crits to the HLC, second it could save the Focus to trigger Rexlar's's ability. You also could save the 2 points for initiative bid for when you face Echo to allow the EU on Brath to be more effective.

A couple points left over for Seismic Charge if you want it. And Navigator could easily be swapped for Recon Specialist, or maybe Mara Jade in the future. I think the base of the build is solid, and is pretty easily tailored to your local meta or personal play-style.
I played against a Fett/Brath list tonight with Wedge, Airen, Red Squadron and Tala Squadron. I tore apart the Imperial list, losing only the two Z95s, winning in under an hour 99-39. Getting Wedge lined up perfectly to flank Fett at Range 1 with TL and Focus helped a bit...
Wedge + R2 + Outmaneuver
Airen + Cluster + Munitions + Swarm
Red Squadron + R2 + Flechette + Munitions
Tala Squadron
Boba Fett + Tactician + Engine Upgrade + Marksmanship
Brath + Predator + HLC + Engine Upgrade

Not sure what kind of player would let an X-Wing without an engine upgrade flank Boba Fett, but OK.

Ah supposition and conjecture without context, the manna of the internets!

Because I'm that awesome of a pilot, that's how.

Blocked him so he couldn't use upgraded engine ?

Also, how did you get TL and focus on Wedge without PtL or Cracken's ability (which triggers after he shoots, at PS 8, i.e., after Wedge)?
Anyone can be an "awesome pilot" on the internet!
Edited by horsepireYou know you can carry TL from one turn to the next right?

Heh. Oh right. Mea culpa.
Correct for five points Zoccola.
And anyone can be an awesome pilot both online and off with lots of practice maneuvering by yourself, studying of the move options of every ship, and knowing what move an opponent you've played a few times will usually pick.
When an X-Wing and Z95 only has two options to pick from for actions, you can be darn certain that I'll have every ship carrying a target lock as soon as possible and only drop it if I *really* need the focus before I get a shot.
