A different take on the rebel Y-wing

By rmb43, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Just throwing out ideas here:

Gold Squadron w/ Ion Cannon Turret, R3A2, Bomb Loadout, Proximity Mines

Gold Squadron w/ Autoblaster Turret, BTL-A4 title, R2, Bomb Loadout, Proximity Mines

Gold Squadron w/ Autoblaster Turret, BTL-A4 title, R2, Bomb Loadout, Proximity Mines

Gold Squadron w/ Autoblaster Turret, BTL-A4 title, R2, Bomb Loadout, Proximity Mines

100 points

The idea here is shove the Y-wings in your opponent's face. Joust into range one and double-tap, then fly past them and drop your proxy mines. R2 units help shed stress. I doubt this is very competitive, as it will have trouble with big ships boosting out of range, and the only real way to kill a phantom is to hit it with the mines. However, big ships without boost will be toast. :) Thoughts?

Yeah like you said there's probably a lot of stuff that would just dance around this, but it does look super fun to try out. :D
