I've got a store tournament coming up tomorrow with 60 minute rounds.
I tried 3 different list on Vassal yesterday and won with each of them, making my decision of what to take harder. I haven't played much lately, so I'm not sure exactly what I'll be facing.
Last tournament, I took Keyan, Jake, Cracken, and a Green Squadron (I don't remember the exact upgrades). I played against HLC Outrider Dash + Prototype Pilots (I don't remember how many A-wings there were), 2 Academy Pilots + named TIE Bombers, Han + Biggs, and a Rebel list that had something like Keyan, Cracken, Biggs and something else. I only beat the last list.
Here's what I tried last night:
5 Green Squadron Pilots all with the Refit vs. Jendon, Rhymer, Whisper.
One each of the A-wings had PTL, Lone Wolf, Outmaneuver, Wingman, and Opportunist.
Killed a Jendon in one round of shooting. Got Whisper maybe two turns later. Stopped the game with 2 hull left on Major Rhymer. I took no hull damage and think I only lost something like 3 shields. I remember one beautiful 3 evade roll against Whisper.
Second game:
3 YT-2400: Fringer with Recon Spec, Fringer with APL, and Eaden with Recon Spec vs. Whisper and Echo.
Just tried to crowd in around the Phantoms. 1st round of shooting I lost all of Eaden's shields and don't think I did any return damage. Again, I escaped with no hull damage.
I almost never was able to use double focus because I rolled hits with my reds and blanks with my greens almost every time. APL got one shot and did one damage.
Third game:
Wedge with Stay on Target and the astromech that lets you roll to get your target lock back, Keyan with VI, Adv. Sensors, E2 + Jan. Jake with test pilot, VI, PTL, and proton rockets.
Played against the two Phantoms again. Lost Wedge, but didn't take any damage on the other two.
Fourth game:
Back to the 5 Greens against a Decimator and Whisper at pilot skills 10 and 9.
Flew terribly. One of my A-wings had that critical hit that causes damage when you bump, and I bumped the Decimator, killing him. Two others died to a Decimator one shot with a direct hit. A fourth took a hit and direct hit with only 1 hull left anyway. I think I got about 4 hull hits in on the Decimator and didn't touch the Phantom.
I just can't make up my mind. I bought the 5th A-wing last week when B&N restocked, and the 2nd and 3rd YT-2400 a couple of days ago. It kind of seems like the triple YTs would be good for the short rounds because I can run away with a damaged one. Not sure how long they'd last against a HLC Dash, or if I'd be able to get enough damage against a Decimator.
The Green Squadron squad was a lot of fun, although I was never able to use Lone Wolf.
The squadron with the 3 9's was great fun as well because Adv. Sensors Keyan and Jake are really easy to place after everyone else has moved. It also seems like the one I'm most likely to have trouble with in the 5th or 6th game when my brain stops working.
Which would you pick of those three?
