The Underrated

By Fnords, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi!

Just wanted to share a list I'm running today, playing against a new player. I call the list the Underrated, might not be that accurate (I do find all these ships in their set-up good, thou hard to use effectively)

Omicron Group Pilot (21)

Darth Vader (3)
Scimitar Squadron Pilot (16)
Proximity Mines (3)
Delta Squadron Pilot (30)
Ion Cannon (3)
Tempest Squadron Pilot (21)
Proton Rockets (3)
Total: 100
Just for fun have anyone used a similar list before?

Not really but I kind of like it.

Its pretty chunky and makes target selection difficult. You'll want to shoot the doom shuttle down, but the Defender and Prockets will give you fits.

Don't be too hard on the noob.

I run a somewhat similar squad I call "Attack of the Meat Shields"

100 Points

40 points
Patrol Leader
23 points
Omicron Group Pilot
Fire-Control System
37 points
Delta Squadron Pilot
Heavy Laser Cannon

32 shots to take the lot down(12 shield/20 hull). The DSP is shooting 4 dice at any range and the OGP can do red maneuvers and still have TL. PL is there to soak up hits and wreak havoc from the edge. Fun to fly. I'm flying this tonight at my FLGS game night.

I lost the game :P

Built a nice list for my friend and he crushed me dealing 6! damage to my poor advanced the first shooting round (2 direct hits). After that it just went downhill, he picked up the game in a few min and the 3 round he was barrelrolloing and boosting around like a pro. It was all over in under 50min with him keeping Biggs alive at 1HP under regened shields and Ibtisam at 3 HP left.

Here's the list I created for him:

Ibtisam (28)
Push the Limit (3)
Engine Upgrade (4)
Wedge Antilles (29)
R7-T1 (3)
Biggs Darklighter (25)
R2-D2 (4)
Shield Upgrade (4)
Total: 100
