Similar to my AAA "Autoclub" list, this time I've included a beefy tarn instead of the GSP. Despite being less survivable than an Autothruster, PtL A-Wing, at least he'll carry some stopping power.

I'd like to think of this as an anti-meta build since Soontir + Chiraneau is a dominant list in my region. I'm trying to undercut RAC and Fel on PS and Points bids for movement. I know A's lose a lot of offensive power after they alpha their missiles, but if I can muscle out Soontir in a single barrage, or land 5 hits on a large base ship, the 5 points worth of opportunity cost is worth it.

As for Tarn, I know there's some math somewhere that calculates how truly durable he is, but at PS3 he'll shoot before Han's Z's, BBBBZ and Academy TIEs, the X-Wing dial is neat, and his ability to stay on the board while tossing 3-4 dice is nuts. An alternative is Porkins with VI, which could come in handy against debris and K-turning at the right time.

Let me know what you guys think!

DD instead of VI and then get EI instead of AT= Loads of Tycho fun

Edited by cubby09

I agree on dropping VI for DD on Tycho, however whenever I use EI I find myself missing AT or SD
