Predictions: What kind of list is going to win GenCon this weekend?

By Gather, in X-Wing

It would be hilarious if 4 Bandits + 4 Talas won. But it wouldn't be surprising at all, except that it got brought in the first place.

8 TIEs won French Nationals...

Because they shred Falcons and can block Phantoms like there's no tomorrow, plus try and dodge eight arcs, Echo, just try. Surprised more people didn't think of it.

My bet is neither the Phantom or the SupaFalcon will win.

Well, just based on the preponderance of those types of lists, at least the super falcon, it shouldn't be surprising if one of them does win.

4 Tempest Squadron TIE Advanced w/ Ion Pulse Missiles & Munition Failsafe just to make people go O.O

My bet it is a list with at least 3 Z95's.

Been playing around myself a lot with Z95's and naked Bandits/Tala's simply are the best you can get for 12/13 points.

(IMO)

Maarek Stele (27)

Marksmanship (3)

Homing Missiles (5)

Engine Upgrade (4)

Major Rhymer (26)

Push the Limit (3)

Advanced Proton Torpedoes (6)

Advanced Proton Torpedoes (6)

Homing Missiles (5)

Assault Missiles (5)

Proton Bomb (5)

Shield Upgrade (4)

Total: 99

I have a good feeling about this.

I'm telling you, FFG obviously knows something we don't know because they're still coming out with expensive ordnance. I think the key lies in this direction.

...not quite sure if I'm sarcastic or not. I really do feel there is some truth in here...from a certain point of view. I'm half-way tempted to bring 4 Rookies + Proton Torpedoes.

Yes i am a bit torn ni that match up when playing swarms.

One side, Ties gives you an easier time blocking the decloak routes.

On the another, Z's can target lock, allowing you for the target lock + focus, which can help a lot to get some of the shots through.

Anyways, my vote is on Shuttles. Just because i want them to win. Or a list with Krassix Trelix. Or Jonus brothers (2 defender HLC + Jonus).

It is probaat gonna be something from the old wave. X-wings, B-wings and Tie fighters will be the ships in the Final four.

Swarms!

Super Han.
