Don't bother being "gentle". I really want to know if this list is viable. I know the X-Wing is not particularly in favor. But I can't play a game called X-Wing and not field X-Wings! Well.... I can, but I thought I shouldn't.

Regardless, any and all comments are welcomed.

Not a bad list, really. Dash + 2 B-wings won Nationals. This is similar.

Couple of suggestions:

-Drop Deadeye and Failsafe for Lone Wolf. You'll want to fly Dash away from your escorts anyway, as he can ignore obstacles. LW gives you both an offensive and defensive reroll that doesn't rely on actions. That's better than getting a possible Ion Pulse missile shot off with a Focus.

-You may consider dropping the missile entirely as well as the Mangler for an HLC. The firepower boost is great, and while you do suffer from the range 1 bubble where you can't shoot, you can mitigate this with good flying.

-Nien Nunb is good for the extra green, but you may want to consider an Intel Agent instead. This will help you see if someone is going for your bubble (if you take HLC) or allow you to barrel roll into a spot to block someone important.

Also, in four days x-wings are going to be getting a boost
