the squad of assorted models

By ravensshade, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Colonel Jendon (26)
"Mangler" Cannon (4)
ST-321 (3)

Rexler Brath (37)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Heavy Laser Cannon (7)

Tempest Squadron Pilot (21)
Advanced Targeting Computer (1)
TIE/x1 (0)

Total: 100

was thinking of running this with brath spending most of his time chilling near jendon

Was expecting something more like:

1 Academy pilot (12pts)

1 Scimitar Squadron (16pts)

1 Alpha Squadron (18 pts)

1 Tempest Squadron (21pts)

1 Delta Squadron (30pts)

And 3 points left for either a proximity mines on the scimitar, a Ion Cannon on the Delta or a Proton Rocket on the Tempest... That's a squad of assorted models!

Regarding your team, I think you would be best served by switching Brath for Vessery, removing the Mangler Cannon and giving the Shuttle a Weapon Engineer and a Fire Control System with the points saved. Maybe Tactical Jammer too with the one point left. This way, you still benefit from a TL+F HLC shot each turn while keeping the benefit of the Defender mobility. FCS+WE+ST-321 allows you to reassign TL to new targets each turn by shooting at them so you are free to do a focus action with the shuttle or getting stress (or blocked, something that should happen often with a PS6 Shuttle that can hardly turn) without affecting Vessery ability. You give the TL to the Tempest at first and then, once the Tempest has cleared his target, he can get in range one of Jendon to get his new target.

Colonel Jendon + Weapon Engineer + Fire Control System + ST-321 + Tactical Jammer (35pts)

Colonel Vessery + Veteran Instinct + Heavy Laser Cannon (43pts)

Tempest Squadron Pilot + Advanced Targeting Computer (22pts)

Was expecting something more like:

1 Academy pilot (12pts)

1 Scimitar Squadron (16pts)

1 Alpha Squadron (18 pts)

1 Tempest Squadron (21pts)

1 Delta Squadron (30pts)

hah well i lack bombers and interceptors so that's no dice

i hadn't actually thought of using a FCS to clear up room for more actions

had chosen brath over vesery mostly so that with the passing off of target locks he could use his pilot ability more often

but your version is more self reliant
