List ideas that I've been tinkering with

By icewolf200, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Trying to get ready for Store Championship in March and I know there will be Big Ships (Decimator, Outrider, and Falcon), Swarms, and Phantoms. If Scum is legal by March 21 then that will throw much more into the mix. I also know I can't build for everything. Here are a few ideas I've been tinkering with. Also, if anyone wants to give me good suggestions, I don't want to use Big Ships or Echo/Whisper. I do like using the low PS Phantoms as decoys. I also don't have the Transport, Outrider, Decimator but pretty much 3 of everything else.

Delta Thunder

2x Delta Defenders w/ HLC

2x Obsidian Squadron TIE's

Basic idea that has worked well so far being 2-1 with it, Delta's sneak in while the TIE's rush in. Delta's then fire until needing to K-Turn and repeat. Lost to a Decimator with dual shuttles due to my own strategy and hitting too many asteroids. I then figured out my flying and never hit an asteroid the rest of the night.

Triple E

Corran Horn /w Push the Limit, Adv Sensors, R2D2

2x Knave Squadron

Corran is going to be a target and the focus while the Knave's can flank in and take pot shots. At least that is part of the plan.

Keyan and the Golds

Keyan Farlander /w Flechette Torp

3 X Goldies /w Ion Cannon

Ion Cannon while Keyan flies around causing havoc. A lot to chew through.

A-Z Swarm

3x Prototype Pilot /w Proton Rockets

2x Bandit Squadron

Bandit Squadron /w Ion Pulse Missle.

Z's fly up while the A's flank and get into range 1 to fire their rockets.

I know I need to get on Vassal to help play test my ideas and I'm working on learning how to play on Vassal. Suggestions from anyone or fixes?

Oh one other list that has been making the rounds in the area and I'm sure to see is the 86 point Echo/Whisper list.

Any tips or suggestions are welcome

Corran is going to be a target and the focus while the Knave's can flank in and take pot shots. At least that is part of the plan.

You have, like, 12% of a plan.

I'll take 12% of a plan. Leaves 88% for goofy things to happen

Going to try A-Z Swarm which I've now named Centrum Swarm but with a Modification

3x Prototype Pilot /w Proton Rockets

3x Tala Squadron

Drop the flechettes off of Keyan and give him push the limit. If the other three are running ions, then needs to up his damage output and maneuverability.
