Tournament help

By Jbird793, in X-Wing

Hey guys. I have a tournament coming up next week and it'll be my first one I've played in about two months. I really wanna do good but I've drawn a blank on what squad I wanna bring. I'm leaning more toward a squad including whisper. Any ideas?

For reference I have 2x phantoms 3x tie fighters 1x tie defender 2x tie bombers 1x slave 1

1x tie advanced and 1x lambda

I'd look into a "rock and hard place" style list with what you have. Not enough TIEs for a true swarm, so take a standard whisper set up (Whisper with Advanced Cloaking Device and Veteran Instincts) and tack on your firespray (33 point generic) and a pair of TIEs (24 points for the academies.) That should leave you 3 points to play with, which for me is a Recon Specialist on the firespray, but could be a captive on Whisper, FCS on Whisper, Night Beast vice an academy, a hull upgrade on WHisper, etc.

How about the two Phantoms list? Its good against everything except maybe Falcons. Even then, you could get lucky and blast them hard enough to win.

Two Ties Two Phantoms:

"Whisper" (32)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Rebel Captive (3)
Advanced Cloaking Device (4)
"Echo" (30)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Intelligence Agent (1)
Advanced Cloaking Device (4)
Academy Pilot (12)
Academy Pilot (12)
Total: 100
This one you have no choice but to just focus and hope your dice favor you in case of Falcons.

"Whisper" (32)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Fire-Control System (2)
Gunner (5)
Advanced Cloaking Device (4)
"Echo" (30)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Fire-Control System (2)
Rebel Captive (3)
Advanced Cloaking Device (4)
"Backstabber" (16)
Total: 100
The trick is to take evades. Just hope you evade as much as you can. Let the FCS deal more damage.
