Hoth Tag Team (Rebels)

By Izza, in X-Wing

So with Rebel Aces coming out, I've been mad keen on As and Bs, so I thought I'd revisit the X for a change of pace. Hmm let see how killy we can make something:

Wes Janson (30)
Veteran Instincts
Wedge Antilles (34)
R2 Astromech, Opportunist
Jan Ors (34)
Ion Cannon Turret, Shield Upgrade, Nien Nunb
So Janson goes first, thanks to VI, strips a token off something, Wedge goes next, Jan give him an extra dice, he Opportunists for another, so he's rolling 5 dice with -1 evade to target.
Killy? I think so.
R2 and Nien Numb are there to help shed stress.
ICT is for a bit of board control (and to actually give Jan some teeth)
Lose Wedge, Janson, takes over the heavy lifting.
Is it overkill on Wedge? Considering he'd be hitting the same target as Janson, it might be. Could switch out Oppotunist for something else, Engine upgrade ?
I'm pretty nervous with 3 ship lists, esp when one is support. But this feels like it might be fun

You had me until Jan. Keyan + Opportunist or somesuch would be better IMHO

Yes, kick Jan, get another Opportunist in a 3 attack die ship. Luke, Porkins, Keyan, Ibitsam, Nera, they all fit the bill. Maybe a generic Ewing with R2D6? Biggs could be interesting too with these type of builds.

2x 4 dice beats 1x 5 dice.

yeah I've been thinking 2 killy and 1 support is too little firepower in a list.

Might go with Luke to keep the Battle of Hoth theme:

Wes Janson (30)
Veteran Instincts
Wedge Antilles (34)
R2 Astromech, Opportunist
Luke Skywalker (36)

R2-D2 , Opportunist

Good list but very predictable movement wise. Keyan would be the best bet since he can spend the stress and can barrell roll

I like your second list too. It has members of rogue squadron from the right time period.

I like that Rebel Aces hasn't hit stores and you've already moved on. lol

That first list actually works pretty well. My friend used to play nearly the exact list all the time, and did pretty well with it. I think I beat it once.
