The "It's A Trap!" List

By CheesyRobMan, in X-Wing

Didn't get to debut this list last night after all, but will hopefully do so soon. In the meantime:

Rebels have received intel that an Imperial VIP is being transferred via shuttle, and send a small fighter element to ambush them, but what they didn't realise is that It's A Trap! The shuttle is heavily armed, and the escorts are none other than two elite Royal Guard pilots...

Royal Guard pilot

in

Royal Guard TIE, Veteran Instincts, Hull Upgrade

Colonel Jendon

with

Fire Control System, Heavy Laser Cannon, ST-321 Title, Weapons Engineer, Rebel Captive, Shield Upgrade

100pts.

I thought this list would be fun - any thoughts? Target locks for everyone, and (relatively) beefy TIEs.

PtL on th Interceptors. It is a million times better then VI. Also see if you can get an engine upgrade on the shuttle, makes things easier.

Edit: also not sure how much use you will get out of Jeden. It only works at range one and if you're trying to keep your Interceptors at range one of a shuttle it's gunna end badly for them.

Sorry I don't mean to pick it apart its just what I'm thinking

I'll be playing a similar list soon, but I think I'd use Kagi instead to defend the interceptors.

My friend and I did something similar a few weeks ago. Can't remember my exact list but 2 royals and a buzz doom shuttle. Friend had 3 xwing including Wedge. Lost by 1 xwing hull point only. Great fun.

PTL. RGPs need PTL.

Hmm this brings up a question that I couldn't find an answer to in search (the search function on this board needs some help I think):

Does Yorr prevent Soontir Fel's ability from triggering if Yorr takes the stress?

EDIT: nevermind I forgot search only works in current forum. Searched the rules forum and got my answer.

Yes, i think he does because Soontirs ability activates when he gets stress, Yorrs ability says when another ship at range 1-2 would recieve a stress, he takes it. So, basically, Soontir never gets the stress if Yorr takes it.
