Corran and Friends

By badlands122, in X-Wing Squad Lists

As a newbie I've been toying with this list and have come up with this so far;

Wedge - R5-P9, LW, Hull upgrade

Corran - R5-P9, AvdS, PTL

Tala - IPM, Hull upgrade

It flys pretty well, but am I missing something??

Perhaps there's a typo, but that list looks illegal since R5-P9 is 'unique' (so you can only take it once). Assuming one of the droids is supposed to be R2-D2, it comes out to 98 points and I don't think this list really needs an initiative bid.

Firstly, if you don't already have R2-D2, you should put him on Corran.

Lone Wolf also seems like an odd choice for Wedge. He's not exactly a good flanker and if he's not flanking, then the ability is useless (since you will be too close to your other ships for it to activate). Not to mention, he's going to be your opponent's highest priority, so he will most likely die first (and lone wolf is best on an 'end-game' ship). I would suggest predator instead.

I wonder how you are getting that IPM off with any regularity? I feel the Tala is not the most effective platform for a missile (unless your opponents always fly low PS ships). Perhaps changing it to Blount w/ deadeye + IPM would be more reliable...

Thanks for the reply. Yes sir it was a "typo", it was/is suppose to be R2! My thought w/Wedge was exactly what you said, priority target, but After thought doesn't sound as good, yes my opponents have been low PS.
