Corran Horn Squad

By PUKZATRON, in X-Wing Battle Reports

So I've been digging Corran Horn a lot lately. Been flying this list with pretty good results:

Corran Horn

R2-D2

FCS

VI

Airen Cracken

Homing Missiles

VI

Outer Rim Smuggler

APL

Jan Ors

Total: 99

The problem I'm having is that despite the homing missiles bringing much needed damage first round to this list, it often results in Cracken being blown up first round if focus fired on since he's TLing and not making use of Jan Ors. If he survives for two rounds or more the team does very well, but I'm thinking of dropping the missiles and giving this a spin:

Corran Horn

R2-D2

FCS

VI

Airen Cracken

VI

Keyan Farlander

Predator

Adv.S

B-wing E2

Jan Ors

Total: 100

I haven't flown this yet so I'm seeking advice on good ways to tweak the team. I lose out on the action blocking and APL from the ORS, but I gain a super awesome B-wing while retaining Jan Ors who has become essential to my style of flying this team.

Any advice on where to go with Cracken and Corran backed up by the Jan Ors crew card would be supet neat!

Having flown Keyan Farlander quite extensively I can tell you this, PTL on Farlander is almost as mandatory as PTL on Soontir Fel, and certainly required if your running Jan Ors Crew as it allows you to BR/TL then PTL to focus (for an evade counter) and get a stress for attack. effectively 3 action a turn.

It really is an amazing setup though it does cost a lot of points.

I had thought predator initially to increase the chance of him clearing his stress, but PtL is a great idea, makes even more potential use of Jan. Great, thanks.

It's been FAQed- you do not have to roll eyeballs to spend his stress. As long as he shoots that stress token is gone! It works the same way as Garvens focus passing ability. So- PtL all the way.

And if you can make room for Engine Upgrade he is that much better!

I haven't even played against a human yet, so call me crazy, but I'm thinking of this:

Keyan Farlander

PtL

Maybe some nice cannon and/or system

E2

Kyle Katarn

Blue pilot

E2

Jan Ors

Add ships/upgrades to ~100

KF pushes the limit, fires, destresses, gains a focus (thanks, Kyle), switches it for an evade (thanks, Jan) and if he did focus as an action, he has one definite evade, and two if he can roll an eye. Not bad for agility 1,eh?

Man, that's great to know! I figured spending the stress was different than Garvin. I'll be flying the list soon and give some updates about how things went since I've gotten some radical advice so far.

I would love to get EU on Keyan since he'll be designated flanker but I just don't have the points for it as I like the list, at least as I see it.

I have been flying this a lot lately, still tweaking but corran with, R7 astromech, Fire control system, and marksmanship. This is a really good offensive and defense combo. I also used a B wing with Jan Ors for the free evade. looking for ideas on the third ship if anyone has any ideas.
