Can I AAAX You Something?

By Deepspace5, in X-Wing Squad Lists

How would you fill in the points in this squad?

Green Squadron Pilot (22) x 3
A-Wing (19), A-Wing Test Pilot (0), Chardaan Refit (-2), Push the Limit (3), Autothrusters (2)

Tarn Mison (25)
X-Wing (23), R7 Astromech (2)

Total - 91 Points

I started building it with Calculation at first but there are tons of options out there now. Wingman on all of the As is an option along with Hull on Tarn. Ordinance is also a possibility for Mr. T.

3x Outmaneuver, hands-down.

With 2 attack dice, you need the extra penetration (lowering of opposing defense) more than the increased damage-rate of Predator.

Juke may eventually replace it so you can afford a Hull on Tarn, but I can easily see the counter-argument there as well.

1) Outmaneuver X 3

2) Wired or Calculation X 3, Proton Torp for Tarn

3) Wingman X 3, Plasma torp for Tarn

4) Intimidation X 1, Outmaneuver X 2

5) Intimidation X 1, Wired or Calculation X 2, Proton torp for Tarn

6) Prockets X 1, Wingman X 2

I don't know. I love them all!

Thank y'all for the inputs. It has got me thinking. I love the outmaneuver option. I am going to have to test it with that. Outmaneuver on all 3 As also makes each ship a clean 25, which is nice.

I also like Calculation on each of them but did not realize that it might go well with Plasma Torp on Tarn. Melt shields and drop a handful of crits. Intimidation would be another option to help push some damage through or at the very least make your opponent fly crazy to avoid contact.

Time to practice! Tarn will only get better once the Astromech Mod comes out.

Outmaueuver is my recommendation as well - pure gold on a manoeuvrable ship with an EPT to spare.

An alternative would be to upgrade one A-wing to an ace - Veteran Instincts on Jake plus something like Crack Shot on the two remaining Greens could work too.
