Corr-ion

By Papamambo, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Sorry - can't really think of a good name for this list. I ran it today against a buddy and it was interesting. I'm looking for suggestions and tweaks, so if you can help, that'd be great.

E-WING: · Corran Horn (35)

Push The Limit (3)

Fire Control System (2)

· R5-P9 (3)

Engine Upgrade (4)

B-WING: Blue Squadron Pilot (22)

Ion Cannon (3)

B-Wing/E2 (1)

Tactician (2)

Y-WING: Gold Squadron Pilot (18)

Ion Cannon Turret (5)

· R3-A2 (2)

Now, I seldom fly ANY of these ships as I generally fly for the glory of the Empire in my beloved PTL Squint, and lately with a lot of Autoceptors. So, that being said, it was interesting flying bricks like the B and Y-wings. The E-wing felt familiar(ish) and I liked the double tap from Horn. I liked the control from the Ions, though I kept forgetting to use R3-A2 and Tactician For the Stress/Ion double trouble. Not the most offensive list, but with Corral and the B, it's not bad.

Any suggestions for changes?

R2-d2 is heads and tails better than r5-p9 on Corran.

Why do you say that? The E-wing doesn't have a lot of green, but with PTL, I can always use the focus to recover a shield rather than fly predictably. That and R2-D2 would put me 1 point over..

Your opponents, often flying lists with with very few ships, will try to burn him down early and in a sustained manner. T

You'll have to spend the focus just to stay alive.

I'd recommend R2-F2 for Corran instead. It's also 3 points and gives you an extra green die if you take it with Push The Limit. This gives him a total of 4 dice at range 1-2 and 5 dice at range 3, making him very hard to hit and, unlike Stealth Device, it doesn't go away if they do manage to hit him.
