More themed lists! Based on the X-Wing Rogue Squadron comic "In The Empire's Service," I flew it this weekend, with some fun results (more after list):
100 points
Wedge (PS9) - 29 points
Squad Leader - 2 points
Total: 31 points
Horton Salm (PS8) - 25 points
Ion Cannon Turret - 5 points
Total: 30 points
Ibtisam (PS6) - 28 points
Flechette Torpedoes - 2 points
Flechette Torpedoes - 2 points
Predator - 3 points
Total: 35 points
I think I had something else - maybe R5-P9 on Wedge and an R2 Astromech on Salm.
Wedge got one-rounded by two Ties, then Salm was munched in two more rounds, leaving me with Ibbie. I realized that the torps were useless, so I focused on just getting out of arcs (I was flying vs. a relatively new player, who had 3 Interceptors and 3 Ties, Tetran Cowell and Royal Guard Pilot), and blowing things the heck with Predator and stress rerolls. It was hilariously effective, ending after I'd vaped four of his ships (two of each type), and then I miscalculated a Koiogran and suicided off the board. I was very, very pleased.
But I would like to re-jigger things to make it so I don't waste torps, and maybe have a more optimized loadout for these three pilots. I love Predator on Ibtisam, but am not sure whether I should take Advanced Sensors or Fire-Control System. Also, any recommendations on Wedge or Salm's upgrades?
