Then there were 2

By TheArtfulDodger, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Ok I am down to 2 possible lists for regionals. Similar but different.

List 1:

Han Solo: Predator, C-3PO, Gunner, Flacon, Engine Upgrade

Luke Skywalker: Lone Wolf, R2-D2, Engine Upgrade

Points: 100

List 2:

Rear Admiral Chiraneau: Veteran Instincts, Darth Vader, Rebel Captive, Gunner, Engine Upgrade

Soontir Fel: Push the Limit, Royal Guard, Autothrusters, Stealth Device.

Points: 97

So two questions.

1) I have 3 points to play with on List 2?

I am thinking maybe a bomb, Seismic charge or Proximity Mine. Either that or Dauntless, to try and boos away from blockers.

2) Which list would you take and why?

I feel that List 1 has a few to many blind spots. However List 2 would put out more fire power, but SF can be a bit of a glass cannon even with Autothrusters.

What the hell is an Aluminum Flacon?

1) I'd spend a point to switch out Stealth Device for a Shield Upgrade on Soontir and either take a two point initiative bid or swap VI out for Predator on RAC. The extra shield helps with the damage you can't dodge (Feedback Array, Vader turrets) and gives you a little more leeway to let through a single crit to avoid triggering Gunner.

2) I'd probably roll with list two since I think it will deal with Interceptor lists better and it seems like 70% of the lists you are going to face will have Interceptors or Brobots in them.
