Baron, Echo & DC

By blade_mercurial, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So I was thinking about running:

Soontir Fel w/ PtL, autothrusters & shield upgrade

Dark Curse w/ stealth

Echo w/ Outmanoeuvre, Sensor Jammer, Recon Spec & ACD

= 99 pts

If outmanoeuvre turns out to be too situational under the new decloak rules, I can easily go with Predator. The reason for sensor jammer is I find Echo is really weak to high PS turrets and with the exception of Dash, most turrets don't like using focus tokens (preferring evade or boost).

However, to get the most out of sensor jammer I am wondering if perhaps it would be better to drop DC & Fel's shield for 2 academies. Having 2 PS1 blockers will just make Echo's jammer even more effective. On the other hand, 2 academies die so easily --- its almost guaranteed 24 pts to my opponent. I like Dark Curse because it *should* take a while to kill him. He can also act as blocker vs high PS turrets, but I don't know if that will cut it...

Thoughts appreciated!

I'd almost want to try that with Carnor Jax if only to make anyone with a Blaster Turret just flip the table and walk away.
