Next month I run a local tournament with 125 points as the limit.

Rebel aces is allowed, anything after is not. (much is not yet available for us sad euro's)

The 125 p-ts were chosen as an experiment.

My goal; make a fun-list with (most, if not exclusively) A-Wings as competetive as possible. I am fully aware that this does not help to improve my chances for winning but hey; fly casual.

My first thoughts:

Option 1:

Tycho: PTL, VI+Homing missiles (both anti-Phantom/anti-MF) @ 35 pts

Jake: PTL, VI+Homing Missiles (both anti-Phantom/anti-MF) @ 33 pts

2x greens with PTL& deadeye+Homing missiles @ 28 pts each.

Leaving 1 pt.

Option 2:

Tycho: PTL, VI+proton rockets @ 33pts

Jake: PTL, VI+proton rockets @ 31pts

4x Prototype A-wings with refit @ 15 pts each (possibly; 3x greens ptl/refit)

Leaving 1 pt. (again)

Option 3:

Tycho: PTL, VI+Homing missiles @ 35 pts

Jake: PTL & outmanoeuver + refit @ 28 pts

4x Prototype A-wings with refit @ 15 pts each (possibly; 3x greens ptl/refit)

Leaving 2 pts

Option 4:

Tycho: PTL, VI+refit @ 28 pts

Etahn: R2/PTL @ 36 pts (with PTL&R2 he flies almost like an A-Wing so hardly cheating )

4x Prototype A-wings with refit @ 15 pts each

Leaving 1 pt

Thoughts? Improvements on the first attempts above?

Any and all input much appreciated.

I've found this list works for me, its quite nippy

How do you cope with Phantoms and/or a MF?

How would you expand this to 125 pts?

Nice to see I am not alone out there with a soft spot for A-wings.

Phantoms , i just keep my arcs spread as usual. Won the last game against a force with a phantom in with this list.

It just helps being able to turn on a sixpence and keep spread out, i try and take out the escort asap and ignore the phantom and then box him in with the three (usually) remaining craft

Nearly nobody i know uses the falcon so its not come up.
