Target priority conundrum

By Ayleron, in X-Wing Squad Lists

HWK-290: · Roark Garnet (19)

Ion Cannon Turret (5)

· R2-D2 (4)

YT-2400: · "Leebo" (34)

Swarm Tactics (2)

Heavy Laser Cannon (7)

· Outrider (5)

B-WING: Blue Squadron Pilot (22)

Fire Control System (2)

Playing ar pound with a squad that makes it hard for your opponent to choose which ship to target. Tried to have the B-wing have HLC originally too but the points aren't there, TL+ focus it's good too though when Leebo and one other ship shoot at PS12. R2-D2 keeps Roark alive longer, hopefully, and even when they are dead Leebo can still pull the B-wing up to shoot at PS5. What do you all think?

Hmmm...keeping the b-wing @ range 1 of Leebo might be difficult. If I were going against it, I'd probably go for Roark first, unless the bwing presented a vulnerability.

One issue you might have...everyone needs to stay in tight formation, otherwise the Roark can't cover anyone with the ion cannon.

Though, if I collapse on Leebo, he's gonna have to leave his homies in the dust.

Now that I think about it, Swarm Tactics might be a bit optimistic. It could still be a good list, though you may want to keep Leebo a bit further away than Roark and the Bwing.

So would it be better to swap r2 and swarm tactics out for rec-spec for the hawk amd PTL on Leebo?

Roark could/would hang back from the other 2 it's just leebo and the B-wing that would need to stay range 1 too...

You'll be hard press to keep enemies out of the Outrider donut hole if you are relying on a B-wing to stay close.
