Progressive League

Hey guys so my local Wayland Games store is running a x-wing league over the next few weeks. It starts of at 75 points no upgrades then every 2 weeks the points costs go up to 100,125,150 and 200. At 150 onwards epics are allowed. So here's my lists for each stage if you guys could please give me some feedback that would be great!

75 points (no upgrades)

Howl runner

Mauler Mithell

Back stabber

Academy pilot

75 exactly

100 point

Whisper - Fcs, Acd, Gunner and VI

Oicunn - VI, Mara Jade, Ysanne Isard, Engine Upgrade and Dauntless

100 total

125 points

Whisper - FCS, ACD, VI and gunner

Oicunn - VI, Mara, Ysanne, Engine upgrade and Dauntless

Omicron Group Pilot - Darth Vader

124 total

150 points

Haven't decided on the 200 point list just yet but have plenty of time for that one :)

Also I literally have no idea how to use the lambda yet, will be buying it in 2 weeks. Any tips for it? Eg deployment and main strategy

Rebel Captive is great for the Lambda. My buddy pretty much beat me with it because I kept having to get rid of stress which made up for the Lambda's terrible move dial.

Unfortunately I don't have the points for rebel captive :( that's why I went with Vader. I'll be using Mara jade on the decimator to dish out stress at range one, first match I played with the 100 point list Mara was a key factor to me winning so fingers crossed that continues :D

captive comes with lambda FYI

and for 200 I'd put in there a Shuttle with Palpatine.

Ah cool ty I didn't actually know that lol, but like I said I'm just running Vader for the generic doom shuttle

And ah thanks so palpatine lambda, any other suggestions like any upgrades for it?

well if you'll probably only want to take one space cow. strictly OGP and Palpatine but doom shuttle is good too (OGP and vader)

problem with them is theyre the slowest, worst things to fly (also prone to tipping) for the 125 vader is a good addition.

at 200 with whisper oic and brath OGP and palp brings it to 179. leaving 21 points. which... happens to be the magical number!!

see below for the perfect addition of constant damage, pain in the buns and blocking capabilities!!!

"I see you have 21 points available, Might i Suggest a Tie Advanced with Accuracy correcter?" - Panic 217 Resident Tie Advanced pusher.

So for the 200 have whisper oucunn Brath doom but I can't have Vader, have the crew card on the lambda. Plus I won't be getting a raider any time soon lol

The 75 list has changed now running Chiraneau and Vader and so far am on 3 wins and 1 loss so it's going well :) the swarm did not go well at all, crashed into all 6 asteroids twice, needless to say I need to work on my manoeuvres lol
