I'm looking at 3 T-70's for a tournament. Been flying the list with minor changes since the new starter hit. Really, I just want opinions on a couple of choices.

VI or Draw Fire for Poe, Lone Wolf just never really came in super handy, he flies with his buddies to nuke something down and then they all extend to reset.

Red Squadron Vets, PTL or Pred? PTL gives me lots of options, Pred prevents me needing TL.

Thoughts? Experiences? Anything?

There's no way you're getting 3 quality built T-70s in a list... But you can get 2 T-70s and 1 T-65... I like this list:

Poe Dameron w/Push The Limit + R5-P9 + Autothrusters

"Red Ace" w/Comm Relay + R2-D2 + Autothrusters

Rookie Pilot w/R2 Astromech

I think Poe wants to be able to PTL regularly... It lets him boost if he needs to, focus for attack and defense, and TL for more offense... Red Ace is a monster here, imo... Anytime he loses a shield he gets an evade token, Comm Relay lets you keep an unused evade token into the next turn, and R2 regens that shield. Rookie Pilot is 3 attack filler... But you could run a TLT Gold Squadron...

Yea, sadly Red Ace is out until the blister pack hits. So, at the moment, I have been running Poe w/ VI/LW/DF, R5-P9, AT, and 2 Red Squadrons w/ Pred, AT. Works pretty well so far.

Poe Dameron w/Swarm Tactics + R5P9 + Autothrusters

Red Squadron Veteran w/Swarm Tactics + R2 Astromech

Red Squadron Veteran w/Wingman + R2 Astromech

Pew pew...

Edited to make sense...

Only one Red needs Swarm.

Shhh... I've worked a long day... lol, of course you're right...

I've been running it with Predator, and changing EPT on Poe. 7W 1L so far. Went up against some TLT Golds last night, lost a T-70, killed all the Y's.

I played this against it's hard counter of 3 interceptors. Not good insight into how it holds up because my dice rolls were abysmal.

Wes. Vi. R3 a2

Wedge. R7 t1

Poe. Ptl. Bb8.

100 pts.

Must try again. I think it could work....

Poe (PTL, bb-8, thrusters) [38]

Red (wired, r3-a2, thrusters) [31]

Red (predator, thrusters) [31]

once IA comes out, you might actually consider slapping them on the reds if you don't run into too many TLTs

Poe (PTL, bb-8, thrusters) [38]

Red (wired, r3-a2, thrusters) [31]

Red (predator, thrusters) [31]

Love the Wired/R3-A2 combo there, m8...

Hope it actually works

Need something for those buggers able to out PS poet, after all, and hopefully still survive the "dreaded" tlt

Now if only the t70 expac would hurry up so I could try it myself...

I'm liking that, I was considering something similar. Wired + R3A2 looks fun.
