Updating Red Squadron

By Baron Soontir Fel, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So my all time favorite list is the XXX list I think of as Red Squadron:

Wedge Antilles
-Opportunist
-R2 Astromech

Luke Skywalker
-Opportunist

-R2-D2

Wes Janson
-Veteran Instincts

This list is thematic, fun to fly, and has no problem chewing threw Fat Han/Decimator lists. It does have a lot of trouble with Phantoms and TIE Swarms, but high PS helps mitigate the first and nobody really flies TIE Swarms anymore in my area so that hasn't been a problem. Nonetheless, with all the new cards and ships coming out I felt that it might be time to offer an upgrade of the list. Therefore I give to you Rogue Squadron:

Wedge Antilles
-Predator

Corran Horn
-Push the Limit
-R2-D2

Biggs Darklighter

I lose some firepower, although Corran's double tap can make up for that, in exchange for significantly more durability and maneuverability. What do y'all think?

How about this:

Corran Horn (38)

E-Wing (35), Fire-Control System (2), Veteran Instincts (1)

Biggs Darklighter (29)

X-Wing (25), R2-D2 (4)

Wedge Antilles (33)

X-Wing (29), R2 Astromech (1), Push the Limit (3)

Gives Corran a TL on his double tap, Biggs has more survivability and wedge becomes that bit more unpredictable.
