Well, it'll be a while before I can run this, (so is XWS37 the T70 expansion pack, or is it XWS38? Either way, I have to budget the buy...) but here it is.

"Blue Ace" (27)
BB-8 (2)
Autothrusters (2)
Red Squadron Veteran (26)
Push the Limit (3)
R2 Astromech (1)
Weapons Guidance (2)
Autothrusters (2)
Red Squadron Veteran (26)
Push the Limit (3)
R2 Astromech (1)
Weapons Guidance (2)
Autothrusters (2)
Total: 99
No fancy synergies, only one complicated combo (green reveal, BB8 roll, execute maneuver, remove stress, perform action), just straight up outfly your opponent. BSA has that nice tight turn. The RSVs can PTL TRoll or KTurn and be very unpredictable.All three are fairly agile, and Autothrusters make them difficult to hit at range and by turrets.
So, thoughts?

You don't have PtL on the Blue Ace though

I really like what the red squad vet brings to the table. Finally, FFG has realized that the mid-PS generics need an EPT to make them interesting!

Anyway, I like the idea of running Red Vet with predator and R7 (and autothrusters of course). Team them up with say, Dutch w/ TLT and it will be really hard to kill them (basically, they will have to take Dutch out first). If only R5-K6 wasn't such garbage! It would really make Dutch a power house...

Actually, you don't have to use Dutch----any action passer rebel would suffice (Cracken, Kyle, or someone less threatening with squad leader).

Still 2 actions if you execute a green. 2Actions Team

Doh... forgot BSA didn't get PTL... fixage.

They really do need to drop the T-70 expansion pack. I want to run three of these things.

I kind of don't like PTL on the T-70. It doesn't allow you to use the Talon Roll all that much. I want to try the Red Squadron setup like:

Red Squadron Veteran (26)
Predator (3)
Weapons Guidance (2)
Autothrusters (2)

Red Squadron Veteran (26)
Predator (3)
Weapons Guidance (2)
Autothrusters (2)

"Blue Ace" (27)
BB-8 (2)
Weapons Guidance (2)
Autothrusters (2)

Total: 99

Blue Ace should be really hard to pin down. Probably going to take a while to get used to flying him. I just wish he had an EPT. I really, really want to put VI on him or Outmaneuver. The Red Vets, now don't have to worry about stress and can use their whole dial. If they have a Focus, they should be really accurate.
