I recently played a bunch of games on Vassal with this list... apparently it seems not so good, but i got a 4-0 record mostly against "meta" lists (with big ships both imperial and rebel)... no phantoms 'till now.

Jake with ptl, chardaan refit, a-wing test pilot, VI

Garven

Blue squadron with FCS

Gold squadron with ion turret

99 pts

What do you goys think about that? Any idea to make it better, or different?

One option would be to swap fcs with adv. sensors, but i'm unsure about that...

Im not a fan of garvin in the list, as im not sure what he's there to help with. is the focus for a good attack with the b-wing? he doesn't synergize that well with jake, since jake will probably want to ptl every turn if possible. i'd swap him out for another b-wing, or a different named x wing, hobbie with his droid or something like that. id just be worried if you did come up against a phantom that your pretty dependent on your y wing getting the shot, or jake killing it with 2 dice attacks.

Another idea would be to try to fit wes in there, not sure what can get taken out, but wes plus vi would complement the list much better imo than garvin can. (also, id go ahead and use the last point in this list to add the r2 droid to garvin or the y-wing, you don't benefit that much from an iniative bid.)

Thanks for answering!

I find his focus useful for B and Y as they often spend their own for defense, being ps2. Jake goes all by himself while the others go in pseudo-formation flying.

I agree on r2 anyway. And may give a try to 2nd B, but i do like the X mini way too much ;-)

P.s. I don't have Wes & Hobbie and i don't like to proxy

I thought about some changes, keeping more or less the same squad shape:

Jake, VI, PTL, title and refit

Dutch, ion turrett

Blue squadron, FCS

Airen, ion pulse missiles

Thoughts? Better? Worse?

7-3 record on Vassal, not bad.

The y wings often plays the role of guest star: he keeps being ignored for the most part of the game while Garven is like Biggs, as everybody seems to want him dead soon.

Just today i won against a Dash-Keyan build ionizing the B for 3 turns in a row while the others brought death upon the unlucky B. Lost Garven in the meanwhile and then Jake just stuck in range 1 of Dash and finished the job.

I suggest swapping Garven for Katarn. Of course there's the further challenge of adding other upgrades to the HWK.

But doing so allows you the option to drop VI from Jake. There's amazing synergy between Jake and Kyle. Kyle's ability activates at the start of combat which means you can pass a Focus to Jake once the board has developed. Then proc PTL off the free action given due to the Focus.

I dont see much wrong with it especially given the current meta:

high PS? check. jake

4 ships? check

offense? check. FCS ona bwing with a focus from garvin plus garvins own focus

manuverability? check. jake and garvin. bwing for close combat

durability?check. can soak up 25 hits

control? check. ICT

only thing i would think about is putting an R2 on the ywing. with this list dont really need to be bidding for initiative

I really like Jake. If you want you could swap PTL with Outmaneuver or Predator since he does good for getting extra actions on his own without PTL.

Yeah, i actually gave r2 to the golden mighty Y in latest games.

I find ptl very useful, as i can choose to focus as primary action, then free boost or barrel due to pilot ability, then Tl if i won't be shoot at or evade if i'm in trouble or even boost if i rolled before and need some more speed

might could also switch out garven for hobbie +R3A2...but if garven is working...

I might want to try this list....

That's pretty fun to play: you don't have to pay too much attention to formation flying and it's a good mix. Not too competitive i think, but anyway i like it

I don't have the transport expansion and i don't like to proxy even on vassal. When i'll get one i'll surely try this
