Does this squad have what it takes to compete in the current Store Championship Meta?

By Deadshane, in X-Wing

What if the falcon player deploys his falcon directly across from you but facing sideways? Now he can just run back and fourth along his edge until you start doing 4 forwards or 3 banks to commit to an approach and then he zips and boosts pasts blounts arc which again isn't a hard thing to do. Also don't underestimate those z's. Yeah in a perfect world you'd 1 shot em all but they can make things difficult if they live.

It's not that easy with x-wings. If they were the falcon slayer we'd be seeing them way more. Let's also not forget that whisper and felt will be out there and good arc dodge players can fly circles around x's and z's.

If Fat Han is sitting back and not getting within Range 3, then just light up the Z-95's. It wouldn't take too long to wipe them out. Get within range of those guys and start 1 forward. I bet concentrated fire would kill one a turn.

Fat Han has to be pointing your way if he's going to zip past you with a 4 forward. That won't be hard to see coming.

I wouldn't leave Han back and send the z's in on there own. I'm gonna send both in from different angles. You're gonna have to make a decision on who to engage. If you pick the z's great han is gonna skirt around behind you and at some point you will have to k turn to fight him. Pick Han great then the z's will be flanking you and while you're trying to chase my Han who isn't facing you and doing 4 forwards and 3 banks with boosts to stay out of blunts arc my z's are chipping away at you. At some point you'll either continue chasing Han or k turn to fight the z's which let's me bring Han back around.

That's the thing, if you go for the Han, you can go ahead and Ionize him no problem. At that point, he's got to survive to really be able to run away. Two X's, a B, and the Z will put some hurt on the Falcon at Range 1. That will be 15 red dice w/ no actions on Han's part. Sure, he might live, but he will be seriously hurt.

EDIT: Just to add in, I'd love to get people's opinion on this 5 Ion Cannon list.

It touches on some of the same ideas of Ionizing the Fat Han.
