New list idea: rebel aces AAZZZ?

By iPeregrine, in X-Wing

The idea here is to take advantage of proton rockets on high-PS platforms that can actually get into range 1 and get the kill. Tycho finally gets some real firepower and PS 10, while Jake gets three actions a turn at PS 9. The two of them combined should be able to fly in and murder the biggest threat, leaving the three z-95s for blocking, cleanup duty, and adding in some free damage if my opponent wants to go chase the a-wings.

Tycho + PTL + VI + proton rockets (33)

Jake + PTL + VI + proton rockets (31)

Bandit x3 (36)

Alternatively, trade the bandits for a pair of refit prototypes and stealth devices on the elites. Less firepower, but much better maneuvering options and the big threats get a lot harder to hit.

Cool list!! I had similar thoughts on another list.

I think it would just be really cool to have 4 As on a list. However, I feel like they will last about the same and do about the same amount of damage (not that much).

I really wish there was a way of getting 2 Greens with PTL and refit though. Outmaneuver too, but thats just too many points.
