My first tournament list

By bubblepopmei, in X-Wing

I'm going to be at my first local tournament in Toronto next weekend. I won't have all that much time to practice lists and I'm not worried about winning but I would like to get my money's worth and survive a few rounds. The following ships are what I want to fly, in some combination, for theme, fun, comfort, and experience.

Lambda class shuttle

Kath Scarlet

Echo

I've got a few lists I'm considering. Which do you think is more survivable?

I kind of like the first one but I do suck with shuttles so there's some bias there.

Going with Kath for the PS?

I'm just a stubborn Taurus girl looking to use a fellow redhead. Alas, Kath can't have her best friend Mara yet.

I do like the first list. I don't get a lot of upgrades in it, though.

Some of my most effective fighters fly naked remember synergy is for wimpy rebels.

Well, if it was me I'd go with the first but that is primarily because I haven't mastered shuttle manoeuvring- if I have two shuttles on the board, I wouldn't get many shots away and I'd lose horribly.

If you are good with shuttles, the third could be a monster to face.

Yeah it's not that I think the shuttle's a poor ship it's just alien to how I use every other ship I own, and the firespray so compatible with my beloved defenders.

That's true. I wanted to try stress shuttle but maybe doom plus a simple Kath and Echo will be formidable. I did play once with this list. I chose Whisper and she died immediately. I always fly Echo and made a mistake with Whisper. Kath and Vader popped fat chewie, though!

I'd go with the first one.

I went with the first list tonight and did well. I squealed when Kath's ability triggered several times. Yay dice! Kath plus Tactician really lays down the stress.

I popped my Doomshuttle a little early, I think. I used his ability twice, the second time just to strip the last shield off a defender.
