I used the following at a tournament on Saturday and had fun.

Jake, Kyle, and the Angry Bees (100/100)

=======================================

A-Wing: Jake Farrell (24 + 1)

+ Outmaneuver (3)

+ Chardaan Refit (-2)

B-wing: Blue Squadron Pilot (22 + 0)

B-wing: Blue Squadron Pilot (22 + 0)

HWK-290: Kyle Katarn (21 + 10)

+ Blaster Turret (4)

+ Recon Specialist (3)

+ Moldy Crow (3)

Wait the mouldy crows is getting played, did I get pulled into the mirror universe again?

I know Roark has always seen some fringe play, and Jan Ors was recently spotted along side a falcon in a tourny list. I think the HWK is finally getting the respect it deserves.

I love how the forum standard response to somebody asking for list critique seems to be to ignore it altogether and everybody just post their own lists instead.

As to the OP, Jake and the B's seem set-up fine (though I'd personally feel far more comfortable with Advanced Sensors over FCS), but I really don't get what Roark is doing here. Is it just to get Jan Ors crew in there? I think if you want a HWK, making points for Kyle synergises with Jake better.

Anti social nonsense aside, he's reiterating precisely what my list, above, was about. That's why I posted it.

Roark was chosen to support the two B wings, he flies relatively close to them while Jake takes the initiative and flanks around the enemy team.

Also a B-wing shooting at PS12 is a beautiful thing while jake already at PS 9 doesn't really need the boost.

I might consider a build involving Kyle, though I'd rather have an ion cannon over that Blaster turret and I'd rather see Jan Ors in the list as it's quite nice giving a B an evade when it needs it.

Your list does look interesting, though I hadn't intended for my HWK to truly be supporting my A wing.

I might try out when I put together a list with multiple A wings, specifically something regarding an Outmaneuvering Jake and a Daredevil Tycho.

On an unrelated note I love your videos, keep up the good work!

Yes you have. Look at the Spanish Nationals, there are 6 in the top 32.

I really like that original list. If I was to make it my own I would probably swap out Jan crew, but you cover a lot of ground with that list.
