YY with TTL and BB?

By sandwichman, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So, for an upcoming tournament I've been thinking of plying two Y:s with TTL and two B:s. What do you guys think? Will I stand a chance against four Y:s with TTL or is the B:s to weak against them?

No, B-WIngs have a good shot at TLT Y-Wings because they are so efficient. They are a lot slower than them so keep in mind to shoot those the furthest from you when the come at you head on and those the closest to you when they run away. You have a pretty even matchup that is going to come down to who can concentrate fire the best.

I'm thinking about a BBYY to and looks great. With Bs you can cover the short distance and protect the Ys with a long distance. I hope works well ;-)

TLT and they will kill a lot of lists if flown well

So, how would you play this list? Slowly moving forward with the B:s in the front and the Y:s shooting TTL shots from range 3?

One group or two groups?

I think so. First, try to avoid the first attack on Bs at r3. Later, Bs attack at r1 or r2 and Ys at r3. After first shoots round, Bs looking for short distance and Ys avoiding r1... Or something like that xD

Two alternatives then.

1. 2 Y-wing Gold squadron, TTL, R2 Astromech (25p x 2) + 2 B-wing Blue Squadron, FCS (24p x 2) = 98p

2. Same as above but change FCS for AS = 100p

(98p-)Initiative against other PS 2-ships or 100p with AS on the Blues and no FCS? Tough choice. Help me.

You're definitely putting a lot into your personal pilot skill, but the tlt swarm is beatable. Remember it's possible to only have to fight a few of them at once.

Your should have some points for upgrades, highly consider getting your ships to ps4 if you're worried about tlt, almost no tlt swarm can afford anything more than generics so you'll shoot first and if you keep your formation tight (I'm a big fan of the pinwheel) you'll be able to take a ship off the board before it shoots. I also like the bs because they handle the few ships that tlts dont. Again pilot skill comes in but sometimes you need 4 dice to punch through an ig or corran. Stress is also your friend.

Good luck brother! Let us know how you do.

Pinwheel with the ys in front, they are faster so it gives you more maneuver options. It also let's you k turn everything if need be. Fly Slowly generally though , you want to pick the engagement
