Cow and Rhino wreck ships

By Rogue Dakotan, in X-Wing

Ok here's a fun list I put together and got to try out in a couple casual games.

Oicunn:
Isard
Mara Jade
Fleet Officer
Dauntless
Anti Pursuit Lasers
Intimidation

Yorr:
Engine Upgrade
Heavy Laser Cannon
Rebel Captive
Fire Control System
Tactician

100 points

I wasn't sure how well it was going to work, but it ended up working wonderfully for me.

Granted it was just some casual games and this list probably wouldn't go far in a tournament, but these two ships synergized surprisingly well.

Oicunn moves first, activates fleet officer and gives a focus to himself and Yorr. Yorr takes the stress, then moves a green manever to remove the stress. Then he's free to boost, target lock, or take a second focus, and no one's stressed! Same combo works for using the Dauntless title.

It turned out to actually be pretty easy to get oicunn to ram people.

I played to games and both of my ships survived both of them.

Then this happened. Poor dutch. He had 0 agility because of intimidation. Yorr had a focus and a lock on him. Blew him away with HLC.

This is a list I'll probably be trying again with maybe a few tweaks. Anti Pursuit Lasers didn't do much.

Yeah, APL seems to always fail me.. maybe the jammer could be fun, run the shuttle behind the 49 as much as possible.. I need to try this list, I have a Boba/Chir build that needs tweeking.. might go Krassis and Oicuun. Yorr seems a good fit here though.

I wish I could use the shuttle properly but I tend to lose games when I take it.

I hear you-I love the lambda but, points aside, the firespray is usually the more effective ship. Doesn't stop me loving it mind...:-)

I thought about using the tactical jammer, but id rather both ships be viable targets so that the Deci doesn't get rocked early. Give them a bit of a choice on who to shoot.

Dumb question: Can Fleet Officer give a focus to the ship carrying her?

Yes

Erm, just one question...You say you blew him away with HLC...but that's not range 2, is it?

In fairness, at range 1 it's still 4 dice so it doesn't really matter.

at range one it doesnt shoot, right?

Im new so ill ask instead of making a huge mass out of myself...

If you take the HLC, can you still make your normal attack shots?

The HLC is a secondary weapon. You can still shoot with your primary weapon at range one, so the Lambda will still get 4 attack dice.

The exception that is common right now that you may be mistaking it for is the Outrider. It has a special ability title that makes its HLC a Turret, but removes any R1 Shots, hence the R1 Safety Donut.

All other ships can fire normally if their secondary weapons dont work at a certain range.

Oops. You're right. You're both right. :P

It's not a dumb question mate.

Yes

So a ship counts as being range one of itself ?

Yes it does.. there is precedent for this in the FAQ
