Afternoon everyone,

I'm a huge fan of A wings and also enjoy the B wing, so Rebel Aces arriving was a good day for me

I don't have a whole lot of experience, but this is a list I threw together to have a lot of fun with the new cards:

Tycho - Push the Limit - Daredevil - Refit - Stealth Device

Jake Farrell - Push the Limit - Veteran Instincts - Refit

Farlander - Push the Limit - Advanced Sensors - Advanced Proton Torpedoes

The general plan is to have Tycho and Jake flank on opposite sides of each other, while Farlander heads up the middle. Farlander will hang out in the asteroids to have some extra defense, and with Advanced Sensors can set up many different shots. Additionally, the APT will provide a nuke if he ends up in range 1 of anyone. I figure Farlander is the best person to give APT to because he can always set up a target lock and a pseudo focus in the same turn.

I am going to be running a similar list with all of the same ships, but built out differently as to keep Keyan from being focus-killed early. Since the A-Wings have such dinky attack, you need to make them a threat to spread out the field or else Keyan is going to be destroyed early and you'll be chipping away with 2 attack dice.

Tycho Celchu (26)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Proton Rockets (3)
Push the Limit (3)
A-Wing Test Pilot (0)

Jake Farrell (24)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Proton Rockets (3)
Push the Limit (3)
A-Wing Test Pilot (0)

Keyan Farlander (29)
Push the Limit (3)
Engine Upgrade (4)

Total: 100

With this squad, you're rolling some very high pilot skill (10, 9, 7) so you should be able to position Jake or Tycho to take out a Phantom (or at least put in a large dent) with a Proton Rockets shot. Keyan doesn't need the Proton Torpedo help as he's doing tons of damage with the Stress token at his side.

I haven't flown this list yet, but I have a feeling it's going to be very successful, even against ships like the Decimator. Those Proton Rockets are going to result in 4-5 hits with a target lock, which isn't anything to frown at.
