Hi all! I'm going to my first tournament ever on May 30th (been playing for about a month and a half now). I had a ton of different lists floating around in my head, from Kath leading a bunch of exploding Scum 7-95s to double Y-Wing lists. Here are the two that I narrowed down to, and my question to you good people is which do you think is more solid?

Second list looks like a better one for a tournament. Fly in formation to take advantage of Biggs and focus fire. Because you're in formation you may wNt to ditch the EU on Dutch as using it would break formation. Can go with a droid for Biggs to help mitigate damage. Or put FCS on the bwing and a flachette on Dutch

By the way where's the tourney

Yeah, I see your point about Engine Upgrade. What droids besides R2-D2 really do a good job of mitigating damage? In the little bit of experience I have with this squad, the R2-D2 needs to go on Dutch in order to compensate for his 1 defense die, but maybe it would better to stick it on Biggs?

It's at Top Deck Games in Haddon Township, NJ. About an hour from me, which isn't too bad

Well you got 8 points to play with when dropping EU and R2d2 so:

1. R2d6 + determination on Dutch and FCS for the blue r2d2 on Biggs

2. R5k6 for Dutch and play the TL bouncing game FCS on blue r2d2 on Biggs

3. R2f2 on Biggs R5d8 on Ywings is surprisingly effective. FCS on the blue

4. same as #3 but with r5p9. It gives you more freedom in movement than r2d2

I'm going to try out #3, I think. Thanks for the help!

I would suggest not using R2F2 on biggs unless you have some way to give him extra actions or focus tokens. Some of the other droids are not terrible, but don't really suit your list. I'd suggest shield upgrade on dutch since he wants to TL and R5K6 is garbage.

Drop r2d2 and take r4d6 plus determination and FCS on b-wing.
