Are there any good thematic builds using the members of the 'Gold squadron' that fought at Yavin? Obviously it will include Dutch, but most I've seen tend to throw an Ion cannon on everyone and call it a day, which won't make for the most fun games.
So are there any viable Gold squadron builds that arent just Dutch w/Ion + 3 Gold w/Ion?
Rebel Convoy is a bit popular.
2 x Gold w/ion
2 x Outer Rim Smuggler
What you have listed is pretty much it with the assumption that you're probably spending the 3 remaining on say R7-T1 for Dutch.
Another option is probably Gold (x3), Gold w/ Ion (x2) or something very similar to that. Instead of the Ions you could go with Flechette Torps but that may not be as good.
cant wait to fly

I fly Horton, Dutch and a gold. Each with an r2 an ion and a torp, with an extra torp on one usually Horton. I two or three protons and a Flechete.
Love the list and the fun it can have. Trying out alternates you can pump up Horton to ps 10 with an astro and vi. Give him a Flechete and your phantoms are gonna stress out and then be taken out. It's a great list and a lot of fun, if only for the moment your opponent laughs when he sees you put down three y-wings.
I just wish there were more Y-Wing pilots available
EPTs are the big deal, but new pilots may fix that.
The Y-Wing works, but has to be smart. To be honest they are a better add on to a squadron then they make up a squadron of their own, but with ordinance and turrets if flown well can be very successful.
What I like to run when going with Y-wings is this
2X Grey Squadron Pilots (I know they're not golds but eh) with Ion Cannon Turrets
@X Green Squadron Pilots with Chaardan Refits, Predator, and Outmaneuvre.
It makes a really good 'set em up and knock em down' list
I've used 4X gold/ion/R2 successfully to the point where my friends hated fighting me and I had to change...
What has me totally baffled is that if Ywings are so meh, why are they sold out everywhere? I've been looking for one to fill out my soon to be Scum lists.
I finally found a Y-Wing in a store today and snapped it up...first one I've seen in 2 or 3 months. I feel more confident exploring the Y-Wing now that I have a pair of them; 1 just never seemed like a credible threat as something just added into a list, but maybe now I can try and make a list featuring them more.
It's not a full list, but Im excited to try Horton + Blaster + R2D6 + Predator.

Possible rerolls on top of rerolls. Still need Focus from somewhere. For fewer points you can get the Kyle + Blaster + Recon + Crow combo going.
anything containing a Gold Squadron pilot is by definition a good build
I like Y wings quite a lot in case you hadn't guessed

Nice, I'm going to have to keep a keener eye out for those puppies. I really think the new scums might be able to make use of 3 of them in a single list. A real flying fortress formation.
