Hey guys,
So after giving up on the A/B builds I've reverted back to Dash.
Had two games today on Vassal using Dash with Outrider title/Mangler Cannon/Kyle crew/Push the Limit and feeling pretty good with him, the only possible change would be HLC for the Mango.
I've been using Corran with him but he's not working for me, I'm overthinking him.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what to replace Corran with? Maybe something a little bit left field?
HLC Super Dash + Kyle Katarn
2x Refit Prototype A Wings
1x Bandit Squadron
OR
HLC Super Dash without crew
3x Refit A Wings.
OR
Mangler Super Dash + Kyle
3x Refit Prototype A Wings
After flying 3x A Wings with him I realized how much Kyle adds to the build. You could fly 3 A Wings with him and run Mangler to save the 3 points for Kyle that way, but HLC is just too good. My first suggestion is probably the best one. I'm sure if you ran 3 Z's you could throw in Airen Cracken and make something decent too.
Dash & YY (100/100)

YT-2400: Dash Rendar (36 + 18)

+ Kyle Katarn (3)

Hi Ben,
You already know who I'll be running Dash with.
Another idea may be a couple of Ion Ys
Hows about,
58pt Dash ...as usual
2 x green + title + PTL + VI
100 pts
Cheers mate!

Hi Ben,

How about adding BTL-A4 x 2?
Adding the title is a matter of personal taste.
Without R2 I'd prefer not to add it, but you may try both options
change to HLC. real men use HLC!
also, not my idea, but
Fringer
Hlc
Intelligence Agent
hull upgrade
paired with traditional, hlc super dash
there's also "less super" dash (drop engine and kyle for Nien) @52 points, letting you slot in two FCS blue squadrons
Hows about,
58pt Dash ...as usual
2 x green + title + PTL + VI
100 pts
Cheers mate!
I don't think VI does much for those Greens. Try Calculation for a small offensive bump or Adrenaline Rush to surprise someone with a K-Turn while stressed.
How about this.....
DASH AND NERA
100 points
PILOTS
Dash Rendar (55)
YT-2400 Freighter (36), Push the Limit (3), “Mangler” Cannon (4), Kyle Katarn (3), Outrider (5), Engine Upgrade (4)
Nera Dantels (45)
B-Wing (26), Advanced Sensors (3), Advanced Proton Torpedoes (6), Ion Torpedoes (5), Deadeye (1), B-Wing/E2 (1), Recon Specialist (3)
I like Dash and Keyan together:
Dash Rendar (55)
-HLC
-Outrider
-PtL
-Engine
Keyan Farlander (45)
-HLC
-PtL
-Engine
You just roll around breaking game rules and shooting fools from range 3 with 4 dice, it's delicious.

Won 2 and lost 1 with this build now, I've replaced the ion torp with a flechette torp which has enabled me to put HLC on Dash.
So far I've beat a Dash with 3 Z's and IG88B & C, lost against a fat Han and Z's.
My MegaDash/Jan worked pretty well at my Regional, earning me a decent 17th place out of 40.
It didn't earned a better place mainly because of my lack of experience, a bit of unlucky rolls in clutch moment (but i got lucky rolls before, too!) and some distance misjudging - too much Vassal, not enough table!
I went 3-2 with a minor victory and lost to Soontir-Firespray-Doomshuttle and to Cheebo in the clutch game rolling 8 blanks in a row with my reds and getting Mangled back with a Direct hit.
Both of them made to top 8.
Not bad, so you may want to try this list as well!

Slight modification (seems you were 2 points short on Farlander as well):
Dash Rendar (58)
-HLC
-Outrider
-PtL
-Engine
-Kyle
Keyan Farlander (42)
-HLC
-Stay on Target
-Fire-Control System
-E2/Intel Agent
Full on SuperDash with Kyle along for the ride. Farlander can pull off 4 dice F+TL shots, plus the Intel Agent (and SoT) can help your maneuverable ships against higher PS targets.
I was doing well with this list for a while
58 Dash
Keyan Farlander - PTL, HLC, E2/Jan Ors
Keyan gets a TL/Focus + an evade token to make him a bit more durable. You could also switch Jan Ors for Advanced Sensors if you don't like getting blocked, just remember to pick a white maneuver if you're going to use Sensors so you don't lose your red focus token. I was doing well with this list but mostly just because of how awesome Dash is, I lost in the finals of its debut tournament to Dash/Corran and ended up adopting Corran as a result.
A more mainstream option is to use actual Jan Ors in the HWK.
Jan Ors - VI/Lone Wolf, MC Title, Blaster Turret, Chewbacca, Engine Upgrade.
VI was mostly for beating Whisper, but with Soontir largely taking her place, you good go down to PS 8 for Lone Wolf. Jan is mostly just there to make Dash's HLC insanely powerful, she rides behind Dash as he circles around the opponent and mostly tries to stay out of the fight but in range 3 of Dash. She takes a bit of practice to fly her and Dash well together, but honestly any list that uses 58 point Super Dash is going to require practice to use the support ships well.
!!!!
Over the last 4 games it's become more and more apparent that Nera is just way too many points which paints a massive target on her back so I'm gonna have to make a late change.
With only 2 evenings of possible practice now what do I replace her with? My current thinking is 2 Rookie X's as I'm very familiar with them.
Two rookies is fun.
But how about Dash: Mangler, title, experimental interface, Leebo and
X2 Blue B's with FCS?

I won't be changing Dash now, I'm really happy with the set up and know just how to fly him so he's not going anywhere.
That stops me from using B's so either it's 2 X's or 3 Z's, and I think I'd rather use the X's.

actually jan ors is switching the focus into an evade token so keyan is by far not getting both of them or am i missing something?
ah ok disregard.... you meant the stress as "focus"
Edited by TaiowaaWhat about just a naked Chewie?

Eww

Eww
Ha. Ha.
He's the exact amount of points I have left after Dash and I can use him to shield the doughnut hole if I fly them correctly.
Yes all he's gonna be doing is focusing but if he gets a few good hits in and keeps Dash shooting I'll be happy.
Dash + Corran is getting A LOT of play here in Texas

For whatever reason I just can't get any consistency with Corran, I think it's down to me being very cautious with him but I can't seem to shake it.

Thanks bud! I'll have a proper look through these tonight.
My brother Chris who is in the same tournament tomorrow has commented that I would be 'that guy with the double YT build' but I think that's because he doesn't want to face it : )
