Han and Luke vs Biggs ...

By ghaerdon2, in X-Wing

Wow, Han and Luke got schooled by Biggs and R2D2. I had Han with Luke, MF, C3P0 and EU and 3 Tala's. He had Biggs with above plus Ibitsam and maybe Wedge... Forget, too much shell shock.

What happened was beautiful, Biggs stayed at three and recovered each vicious hit. Han and Luke tied to catch up but couldn't. Biggs flew circles around me while I desperately tried to take down one of his ships.

My Question ... Falcon with Gunner or Luke vs Biggs with r2d2 ... What would be better than three Tala's who seemed to be fodder for the other XWing and Ibitsam.

Maybe since you couldn't catch up to Biggs and he was not posing an immediate threat himself you probably should have tried to move away from him instead. If you could have gotten him out of your range you would have been free to target the other two.

Depending on the experience of the player you were up against, he's probably seen Falcon and Z-95s so. many. times. that he knows exactly how to beat it, plus the way people tend to fly the Falcon's pretty predictable anyway. You used a meta-build (which means people have fought it before, know how to fight it, when designing their squads consider how to beat it) and if he went Biggs Ibitisam [unknown X-wing] he didn't. Advantage him from the start.

I take it you want to stick with your Falcon if that's what you enjoy flying, so your opportunity to mix things up lies with the three Talas. What was your line of thinking behind using them?
