First escalation tourney....advice?

By brystrom1, in X-Wing

So heres what I'm planninng

Round 1 57 points

Z-95 HEADHUNTER: · Airen Cracken (19)

· Squad Leader (2)

Cluster Missiles (4)

Z-95 HEADHUNTER: Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)

Concussion Missiles (4)

Z-95 HEADHUNTER: Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)

Concussion Missiles (4)

If flown proper I should be able to put a dent in single fat ship lists.

Round 2 82 points

Y-WING: Gold Squadron Pilot (18)

Ion Cannon Turret (5)

· R3-A2 (2)

BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0)

Not a lot of experience with Ys but I fly Zs a lot and it doesnt seem too different.

Round 3 116 ponts

B-WING: Blue Squadron Pilot (22)

Heavy Laser Cannon (7)

Fire Control System (2)

B-Wing/E2 (1)

Tactician (2)

This is why my first two rounds run short on points

Round 4 150 points

B-WING: Blue Squadron Pilot (22)

Heavy Laser Cannon (7)

Fire Control System (2)

B-Wing/E2 (1)

Tactician (2)

I'm hoping that I can use the Bs and the Y to isolate high priority targets for the Zs to unload missiles upon and then use the Zs as blockers for the Bs to clean up the rest. Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated.

Don't you have to take 2 ships in the first round? If you're prepping for single Big ships, you might not see that.

Hmmmm. I seem to remember seeing that now....my buddy might have to tweak his Fat Chewie build.

If you're going to throw a round so that you can for points into a later round, through round 1 when it's the fewest point differential.

Wouldn't say I'm "throwing a round" but I see how it reads that way. I played around with different combos for the first round but nothing made as much sense as the mini Z swarm. That possible 14 attack alpha strike is too sweet to break up I think.
