MM event tomorrow. What the heck to fly?

By gamblertuba, in X-Wing

Taking the first step into a larger world tomorrow and playing at a store event in St Louis. Never really played the game outside of a small local group and cannot decide what to fly. I am assuming that new phantom rules will not apply and lots of folks will be running two ship lists either with phantoms or designed to hunt phantoms. I just picked up a fourth B-wing in order to make a BBBB or BBBBZ list possible. I am a decent player but will occasionally forget an upgrade here or there (looking at you rebel captive) so a super simple list seems like a safe bet. So...

1. Advanced sensors, accuracy correctors, or a bandit? Sensors allow for modified shots after a K-turn and a bit more slipperiness with pre-move barrel rolls. AC lets you barrel roll all day or red maneuvers without worrying about modifying dice. A bandit provides some extra blocking and another attack but also sorta spots my opponent 12 points.

2. What specific strategies work best with a BBBB list? Have not found a lot of batreps or discussion on 4B lists. Probably because they are kind of a blunt instrument. Any subtleties to flying this list at all? Any obvious traps to avoid?

3. Would I have more fun flying my "clog dancing" squad?

"Dutch" Vander (23)
Ion Cannon Turret (5)
R2 Astromech (1)
BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0)
"Hobbie" Klivian (25)
R3-A2 (2)
Blue Squadron Pilot (22) X2
Total: 100

Tomorrow is not April 15th, so no, you will not be using the new rules.

I would say that since it's your first tournament, just fly a squad that you are REALLY comfortable with.

This, and have fun.
