Fielded a five y wing build the other month, five gold sqdrn with autoblaster, btl4 upgrade. on paper they seem reasonable, 40 damage and potentially five dice at range one, one set of three and a set of two from autoblaster. entered a tounament, first game was up against seven z 95 head hunters, with some deft maneuvers i came out of that with a win, i flew them like dogfighters, and didnt worry too much about stress as getting in range one was more important. cant recall my next too games as the dogfight out shone them but i came in fourth all in. i have not used the list since but a club regular feilded a similar build without btl 4 with good results. my next outing with y wings will have three with btl 4 and two without.

That's a helluva list, your sacrificing maneuverability for overwhelming firepower, I guess an interceptor w/ autothruster list would be the best counter to it.

I recommend against the title. R1 isn't much to work with, but it's better when you have a 360 degree arch. Nice thing about Autoblaster is you can make little ships like Interceptors pay dearly for falling into range. You'll find being limited to that front arch will be too much to overcome.

Fly this list VERY aggressively. If you can break up your opponent's flight pattern and force them into predictable situations, this list will shine.

There's really no reason to run the BTL title with the Autoblaster turret. The whole point of the autoblaster is to make the opponent's green dice irrelevant, and the BTL title defeats that purpose while making your autoblaster turret significantly worse.

Also I would point out that any good player using a turret with Engine Upgrade can beat this list every time. It's not difficult to stay out range of most of these guys if you don't have to fly towards them, the only tricky part is concentrating fire on them to remove ships from the board. You're best hope is going to be killing off their support ships and keeping your injured Y-Wings away from their turret to prevent them from finishing off your ships and winning by MOV.

The very idea is twisted...I love it..

Just a thought, but how 'bout

4 x Gold all with R2, autobl, eng

100 pts

maybe stuff 1 title on one, just to be evil...

I like 4 thugs, autoblaster, engine, unhinged astromech. 100 points of zoom and doom, you can fly fast as you like without much downside.

Ya beat me to it Nigel !!! ya wee bugger !! LOL!! And Yes!! ladies and gentleman !!! ...................see the above post.....
