4 B wings, 4 Tacticians

By ParaGoomba Slayer, in X-Wing Squad Lists

You can just nuke something with stress with this build. You don't even have to go out of your way to get range 2, generally if they're spread out a bit at least one B wing will have range 2.

Should shred PtL Dash if you can squeeze off a range 2 on it without barrel roll and boost shenanigans, and aggressors that rely heavily on segnor's loops.

well, technically the list is perfect :P

I do prefer mixing it up with a bit of variety, though, just to change up the game plan. A local player ran a very effective 3 B-wing tactician list rounded out by a R3-A2 Ion Turret Gold Squadron Pilot.

I used to run with this, but found that replacing one with a support ship enhances it. So I changed it to 3 B's and Roark + Ion +Nunb (I think he was the last point). This allows you to lock down other ships or make one of the B's PS 12, especially if they have a bead on a phantom.

There's also that popular control list running around which is the Y+Ion+R3A2 that fickle mentions above. It plays pretty similar. Again, I think a little utility adds to B's and covers some of their weaknesses.

Played against it with Biggs, Blue, Leebo. Leebo got jammed up for a couple of turns, but obstructed the forced attacks on Biggs. I know I took off 10 shields in the first turn, and it didn't take too long to just clean them up. Sure I lost Biggs and the Blue, but once I got Leebo out of the traffic jam, I wasn't going to let a B-wing have a decent shot at me.

Can we please nickname this combination of Tactitian and B-Wings...Taco Bell...?:D
