Rebel list for store Champs. Need some advice

By Redblock, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Will be running this for my store champs:

==================ls 96 points Pilots ------

Prototype Pilot (15) x 2 A-Wing (17), Chardaan Refit (-2)

Bandit Squadron Pilot (12) x 2

Chewbacca (42)

Now just choosing how to spend last 4 points - Milenium falcon+predator on Chewby or Engine upgrade? Meta involves some decimators and but is quite varied

In my opinion, Predator + MF title is the better choice. It gives you more defense and increased attack power.

Engine upgrade doesn't work as well on Chewie as it does on Han. His lower pilot skill means he can't dodge Soontir or Whisper by boosting. And if he boosts, he has no way to modify his attack dice.

OK, went to tourney, had a great time (decimating the Decimator is fun, and doing it with harmless A-wings gives bonus points). Fun ended at meeting double IG list. It was brutal and onesided. Guy never lost a ship in 5 battles and won tourney.

His list was like Gunner IG + Boost evade IG kitted same - VI, mangler, autothrusters, bomb, hand brake (:D). My 2 attack ships just couldn't go through defence, and he flew good enough to arcdodge them most of time.

Trying to find a way to counter this, two things come to mind - Coran, you catch them with pants down, doubletap, and turtle next turn, or 3 attack ship swarm, like

3xRookie pilot

1x blue squadron withE21 and Jan Ors (to help than guy who can't get out of arc)

1x bandit squadron

Dont have B-wings to make full BBBBF list :(
