Anybody having any luck with TLT Jan?

By TasteTheRainbow, in X-Wing

I think the Jan/1300 and Jan/2400 lists are very effective and obvious, but has anyone had a 3-4 ship Jan list perform very well since wave 7?

I've be messing with Jan/Poe/Wedge quite a bit, but it's not quite enough points to make them all do what they need to.

ew forget the YT-1300, it doesn't belong on the table anymore and never did with the PWT rules being what they are

In fact, I had the distinct pleasure of seeing Jan (Wired + tlt), Wedge (ptl, bb-8, integrated astro), and Jake (vi, ptl, prockets, thrusters) run rampant all over that fat ass (also Poe; kind of disgusted that the first thing that player thought to do was pair something as awesome as BB-8 Poe with something as rancid as Han <_< )

it was a bit rough between one player being unused to Poe, but still managing to block the ever-loving **** out of poor Jake. In the end, though, Jan's wired shenanigans let Wedge essentially single-handedly murder Han while he tried to get rid of the little wired HWK.

Jake knocked off Han's last hull and then ran circles around Poe until the range 1-2 pewpews found their mark. Poe's really cool, but as you said a while back, he really is no Corran

also, integrated astro is freaking essential. That one turn it buys can make Wedge's points back ^_^

and then I killed that beautiful little list with a bunch of blocking pirates, a crackshot blacksun ace, and Xizor :rolleyes:

the trick, apparently, is ignore Jan and for the love of god kill Wedge

I flew this twice today, and am very pleased with the results. Obviously, it will become even better when Integrated Astromech comes out, but I am satisfied playing this without IA for now.

This list is very satisfying. You have a lot of focused base-3 attack ships, some of which you'll have at Range 1 so you'll often have an option to boost a ship to 5 dice. Just keep Jan back and rush the X-Wings to the front. Nien Numb helps her shed stress so she can do her thing again, while allowing her to run 3 or 4 forward to get out of dicy combat situations and keep enemies at range 2-3 for her TLT to work. Keep an X-Wing with her though, so you don't lose the benefit of Swarm Tactics. This was a very effective jousting list for me today.

For a slight alteration to the squad in the OP, how about replacing Wedge with Biggs to protect Jan? I tried it twice at a casual game night last week, and went 1-1. Certainly not a top tier list but it was fun to try.

Poe with Lone Wolf/AT/R5-X3/weapons guidance (38)

Jan with TLT/moldy crow/rec spec(37)

Biggs (25)

Moldy crow and rec spec might be overkill on Jan but I never ever questioned whether or not to spend a focus. It's also strange keeping Biggs with Jan. Biggs needs arc, but Jan doesn't, so I found myself flying Jan in a very jousty way.

It was fun throwing 5 dice with Poe at range one, and with the lone wolf re roll, and everything he does with a focus token, Poe does some serious damage.

My Jan + TLT list is:

Jan Ors

Squad Leader

Nien Nunb

Engine Upgrade

Twin Laser Turret

Blue Squadron Pilot

Heavy Laser Cannon

Fire-Control System

Blue Squadron Pilot

Heavy Laser Cannon

100 Pts.
I've had some pretty decent success with this list as it hits really hard. I had an Ion Cannon Turret on Jan originally, but wasn't too pleased at how it was working out against the big ships. I haven't actually flown it with the TLT on Jan yet, but I imagine I'll prefer the (pretty much) guaranteed damage versus the not as reliable Ion Cannon Turret. Would love to hear some input on this list.

I want to try her sometime with Miranda to spike damage when optimal.

Wedge

-Crackshot

Jan Ors

- TLT

Biggs

Bandit

Comes in at 98 points, 2 points left for few tweaks and upgrades. You could put Wired for Jan Ors (as she will be stressed every round) and 1p droid for Biggs or Wedge when integrated astromech comes in to give that extra survivability
Have had pretty good success with this and it is pretty fun to fly too.

I like ps10 Jan so that Fel can't action into the TLT bubble.

Let him jump into the bubble; Jan's wingmen shall be waiting. :)
