I call this one Action Jackson

By nikk whyte, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Kyle katarn, moldy crow, lando, autoblaster turret

Garven dreis

Airen Cracken

Jake farrel, refit, test pilot, ptl, calculation

At 100 points, the only ship not action sharing is jake, and he benefits the most from the focus tornado I've built. He could theoretically perform every action and receive multiple focus tokens, without using push the limit. It's there in case he gets too far from the focus tornado and needs to do some things on his own.

The biggest flaw is that only one ship is dealing consistent damage, in garven. Hopefully, by leaving him naked, it pulls some threat off him. Kyle is really just there to build focus and protect only his immediate surroundings. The Cracken will most likely be handing out target locks to aid the focus frenzy. At worst, it looks super fun.

You could try VI on Jake. At the very least he'll move after Phantoms and could possibly get out of their arc.

Super fun is a good of a reason as any to try a squad. :D

VI might be better than calculation on Jake.

i was thinking that calcuation would bump up my damage output, and would nt be terrible considering that i can get a fresh focus from everywhere. with only one ship shooting at 3 attack, i'm gonna need someone to play into my hands when it comes to offense. i figured i could slow fly most of these guys, and make my opponent bite.

Sounds like a good plan.

The issue you have with Calculation is you are not going to get that extra focus if you really need it until garven uses his focus. You'll want to keep one focus for defense, one for attack, and then the third won't come till Garven get's his turn, either defending or attacking. In that respect, if I went up against this list, my first target would be either Cracken or Kyle, to help nullify Jake even further. Focus firing down either of those ships will, with just a little bit of luck, remove either of those ships off the board in one or two rounds. Just my two cents. Looks fun, just limited.
