Green dice mania! Rebel list.

By Chinchillas, in X-Wing

So, there I was pondering over what type of squad I was going to fly when I had a great idea with biggs (Which we all know is a all star in rebel lists lol) Here is the list. ATTENTION!! I'm still new to x-wing so if I have anything wrong please let me know (^.^)

Biggs Darklighter - 31

Stealth Device

R2-F2

Airen Cracken - 21

Squad Leader

Garven Dreis - 26

Kyle Katarn - 21

points total - 99

Essentially this is how the list would play out, Focus Kyle Katarn and Garven Dreis and then use squad leader on Airen Cracken and give bigs another action. Use R2-F2's ability on biggs twice to give him 2 additional defense dice. Then give Kyles focus to biggs at the start of the combat round, then once Airen Cracken attacks give another free action to biggs and use R2-F2's Ability again to give him yet another defense die. Then once Garven Dreis attacks give his focus token to biggs, In total biggs will have 6 defense dice and 2 focus tokens and of course a whopping 7 defense dice at range 3.

I have yet to play with this list as of yet but I think it has some potential, what do you all think?

HWK with nothing on = really bad idea. Just warning you.

I don't think you can use the same action more than once a turn.

You can only perform an action once per round. So your R2-F2 spam is not valid. However, R2-F2 lasts the entire round so Biggs would have +1 agility the entire round.

And once Biggs dies (and he will die fast) the rest of your squad will fall apart too. Kyle with no upgrades is a waste of pts.

Pg. 9 (bottom) in the rulebook states you cannot perform the same action twice even if it is a free action. So only one R2-F2 activation is possible per turn.

Edit: while I was checking the page for the rule others beat me to it :) As for the list. Yeah the naked HWK is a bad idea.

Going with a highly evasive biggs isn't an AWFUL idea, and could be fun... but just keep in mind that you have to deal damage in order to win.

Consider this (For after rebel aces):

Biggs Darklighter + R2-F2 + Stealth Device (31)
Kyle Katarn + Ion Cannon Turret + Jan Ors + Moldy Crow (31)
Garven Dreis (26)
Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)
Biggs uses R2F2 each turn for 4 Agility. Kyle passes Biggs a focus but it becomes an evade thanks to Jan, and Garven passes him a focus. You now have a 4 agility ship with an evade token AND a focus. This might just survive a bit! Maybe not.... but maybe!It would be fun.
