I've piloted this list in tow minor tournament's now and ended up som wher in the in the middle both times. I whant more then that from it, but I'm afraid the only thing I'm hitting at the moment is a brik wall

So I've come here for some insight, that a new set of eyes can see what I'm missing.

Enough spoken. Here's the list

X-WING: · Tarn Mison (23)

R7 Astromech (2)

X-WING: · "Hobbie" Klivian (25)

· R2-D6 (1)

Push The Limit (3)

Y-WING: · "Dutch" Vander (23)

Ion Cannon Turret (5)

R2 Astromech (1)

Z-95 HEADHUNTER: Tala Squadron Pilot (13)

Cluster Missiles (4)

XXYZ is a solid build, so I think the biggest issue is a few of your pilot choices.

Tarn is solid. Keep as is.

Hobbie is iffy. I would recommend upgrading him to Luke w/ R2D2 to give you a very strong defense when paired with Tarn.

Dutch is OK. Passing a target lock to Tarn could be useful. Alternately, swap him for a Gold with Ion and R3A2 and the BTL title for stress attacks.

The Z is too heavy on upgrades. Drop Cluster and down to a Bandit and use it as your blocker / harasser.

That should free you points to get Luke, R2D2 and maybe Determination for his EPT.

it's a good attempt at using Hobbie's ability (which is bafflingly on what is possibly the worst ship for it, just imagine Hobbie on an E-wing instead!) which is normally just r3-a2 fluff, but you're better served just putting predator on an x-wing. You get your re-rolls without having to fen-angle with target-locks and you can get a scarier pilot.

Tarn's badass and perfect

Agreed with Sierra, Dutch is nice and all but it's hard to beat the impact of an R3-a2 BLT-a4 Y-wing

I also think Luke is probably the ace of choice nowadays, considering how X-wings are so frail without Tarn/Luke that they'll get steamrolled by 2-ship builds before they do enough damage (poor Wedge )

I haven't played the list yet, but I have given it a lot of thought. I don't think that 6/8 in pilotskill is going to cut it. Though more endures. Do you have any tactical advice for me before this list hits the table?
