This is the squad I'd fly if I were flying as the Rebellion, and I _knew_ my opponent wasn't bringing anything heavy to the table. I can't imagine this being anything other than pure fun at the dinner table. :)

Total pure effing fun.

Note: I don't think you need that many wingmen. All they do is allow you to take white moves off of PTL. Would rather have some more damage in there too.

Also, Tycho literally doesn't care except for K-turns.

How is this?:

Green Squadron Pilot (19)
Push the Limit (3)
Chardaan Refit (-2)
A-Wing Test Pilot (0)
Tycho Celchu (26)
Outmaneuver (3)
Chardaan Refit (-2)

Predator (3)

Tycho doesn't care.
Jake can get Wingman'ed.
That Wingman doesn't care.
Leaves one Green who should fly green moves.
Increases damage potential by a little bit.

I like it. I might try that!

Again the modified list i will probably try mysefl once i get reb aces

Nevermind! I quickly read Opportunist instead of Outmaneuver. Looks like fun to fly.

It needs a Proton Rocket in there somewhere. Something that can give a finishing blow to a big target. I would put it on one of the Greens.

The proton rocket will cost you two arms and a knee though, as it negates the refit, effectively costing 2 additional points. That's a lot for a one pop 5 die ordnance.

I think that second list looks amazing. With the sick amount of greens that A Wings get, I don't know if any of them would much care about stress. I mean, they have a green 5 like the Defender, but also all those green Interceptor turns.

Outmaneuver would really help make the pop guns they have do something, and with all those PtL, you can probably get some TL + Focus shots in to almost guarantee two hits each time.

You might have to play the long game though...

Why use wingman at all in an Awing list? The ship has more green than white manoeuvres! I'd rather get PTL/VI on both GSP's, but other than that it seems like an awesome list!

This.

Also yes, this will lead to very long games, and you gotta be careful with all your ships, too much focused fire and you will lose one, and with only 2 attack dice you'll have a hard time taking that back.

Before rebel aces come out I usually put missiles on my A-wings, preferably homing missiles. It will give you a good alpha strike that will more often than not give you the advantage you need. If not I want to see offensive upgrades as Outmaneuver like you have there in the second list for example. :)

*does a little dance.

Somebody likes my list!

I agree that all the wingmen aren't necessary - I'd specialize a bit more, perhaps giving Tycho some rockets to hit harder. I was toying with a "all four named A-Wing pilots" list last night, and this seems like it might be a really fun alternative to that.

I think that could be viable, If you kick out that good for nothing Crynyd and replace him with a Green.

I want to try:

Green Sqd Pilot [20] Refit, Push the Limit

Green Sqd Pilot [20] Refit, Predator

Green Sqd Pilot [20] Refit, Outmaneuver

Green Sqd Pilot [20] Refit, Daredevil

Green Sqd Pilot [20] Refit, Marksmanship

100 pts

just to confuse the crap out of myself, I suppose. It would be cool to see how all of those cost-3 EPTs play, all at the same time. :)

Shamelessly making the name of the list from one Thatoneguy's post:

"A wing ? Why not A+ wing?"

Alpha strike could be quite godly. Shame on the PS3 tho. Probably a 3 named A-wing list would do better with the same concept.
Edited by DreadStar

20 Dice isn't something to sneeze at, but PS3, especially with only range 1 tell me that's never going to happen.

Too many points spent on getting rid of stress IMO, as that is something A-Wings are good at anyway. Better tone down and get more ships I think. 8 attack dice total isn't going to be hurting much of anything.

Why not Arvel: Refit, Test Pilot, Intimidation? Reduced agility on the ship he's run into.

Because a Green could do the same thing for 4 points less.

This list is not going to do a ton of damage, but it's going to be tough as HELL to hit...

Tycho Celchu 26

Push the Limit 3

Chardaan Refit -2

Daredevil 3

Experimental Interface 3

A-Wing Test Pilot 0

Jake Farrell 24

Push the Limit 3

Chardaan Refit -2

Veteran Instincts 1

A-Wing Test Pilot 0

Gemmer Sojan 22

Chardaan Refit -2
Push the Limit 3

Stealth Device 3

A-Wing Test Pilot 0

Prototype Pilot 17

Chardaan Refit -2

Tycho could not care less about stress, since he can do some crazy, crazy things with PTL + Daredevil + Experimental interface. Jake, with his PS9 from Veteran instincts, moves last and can arc dodge like a mo-fo. Gemmer is less slippery, but with Stealth Device + his pilot talent, he's rolling 5 evade dice at range 1. The prototype pilot is there as filler, hopefully as a someone to lob shots at people who misread Jake or Tycho.

I'm going to try it to just frustrate people to death.

Why do you have A-wing Test Pilot on Gemmer? Stick it on the Prototype Pilot and give Jake Farrell's VI to him.

Edited by Millennium Falsehood

If I was interested in missile packing I'd drop one to a z-95. Gives you a 18pts Biggs.

I'd support 6pts less wingman for Gemmer.

know its not pure A-Wings.... but I thought this could be both fun and annoying as hell

Why do you have A-wing Test Pilot on Gemmer? Stick it on the Prototype Pilot and give Jake Farrell's VI to him.

Might want to re-read Test Pilot. Doesn't work on SK 1.

Which is ironic, since it means the only guy who can't claim to be a Test Pilot is the one actually flying the Prototype.

Oh how I loook forward to flying my A-Wing squadrons. They will surely be a blast to fly. Sadly they are somewhat hard countered by the two dominant build: Tie Phantom and FatHan. But hey, as long as it's not a tournament... :P
