Frustrated by 4 x TLT Y-Wing Lists? Beat them handily with this one neat trick...

By FTS Gecko, in X-Wing

Range 1, they can't shoot. they overlap you, and may take damage, you shoot them. rinse, repeat.

Ohhh.

It was originally intended as a joke, but yeah - basically the YT-2400 has 30 health behind two evade dice, a great dial and barrel roll. The Y-Wings have a crap dial, no movement shenanigans and a range 1 blind spot.

A Fringer gets within the Range 1 blind spot of a single Y-Wing, great. It gets within the range 1 blind spot of more than one Y-Wing, even better. The Y-Wings bump a Fringer, they lose their actions and potentially suffer damage as well. Essentially you roadblock the Y-Wings on the initial joust, then try and stay behind/to the side of them, within range 1. The more bumps you cause, the better.

Moved correctly, the Y-Wings will find it difficult to focus down any single Fringer at a time - they'll have to split their fire. Meanwhile, the YT-2400's will likely be able to focus fire on a single Y-Wing at a time with impunity.

And yeah, Intel Agent helps. Tactician could also be fun.

I don't think the TLT carriers care about stress all that much. as mentioned above, they don't really need their actions.

Actual ad when I looked up APL on x-wing wiki. Very fitting to the subject.

BAD POST!

Where's JBR7 with his "bad post" emoticons when he's needed?

I think I like having a single BlockORS and two Fringers, with those extra point maybe you can run something goofy on the ORS like Saboteur.

It's like Beetlejuice... I must have said his name too many times...

Wild Space Fringer - Anti Pursuit Lasers x 3

You're welcome.

Nah man, Satan's Steps:

Trandoshan Slaver + Anti-Pursuit Lasers + Feedback Array x 3

Crush Y-Wings and arc-dodgers alike.

Shoudn't that be Satan's Slippers?

Definitely steps, not slippers.

Impressive. Most impressive. But maybe the steps should be going in the other direction...

The formula for X-Wing's very simple
It's not that hard to beat a TLT
But things sometimes go wrong
So remember this song
And just follow steps one, two and three

Step one - pick up a Trandoshan Slaver
Step two - fly it aggressively
Step three - introduce its two angry brothers
Yeah! That sure seems like fun to me
Just follow steps one, two and three

Did? Did you... Ummmm, Did you just Agent Oso song the thread?

I used to be a worthless scrub! But I learned this one trick and now I'm world champion. Click here to find out how!

Seriously though, this is actually a pretty good list. With the intelligence agent, you can block all day long. If your opponent is flying the y-wing spread apart, you can block three of them with your fringers. Then, they will be unable to focus fire on one fringer. If they're flying close together, it should be pretty easy to land a friend or two or three in the blind spot, cause bumps, and still be able to focus fire on a y or two

I'd prefer to say I Eddie Cochran'd it.

I definitely didn't Showaddywaddy it.

You want to stay at 96 points. A quad TLT player could bid down to 96 by just running 4 base TLT Y-Wings. Ps 2 is starting to become a thing again, so you also want to bid against those. But then again, Intel Agent(s) would help your list against everything else.

That or go with the Outer Rim Smuggler variant. I think large ship barrel roll is more useful for blocking/just getting in range one in general though.
