Hi all

I'm currently running a Dash list have got a few more games in, I want to expand my collection to be able to make a few lists. I have come across the below list and think its a pretty hard hitting list.

What are peoples thoughts on it? I like the fact that you can fire your primary then the tlt so should get at least a couple of damage on it per turn

Gold Squadron BTL A4 Y Wing R5 Astromech TLT 25pt x 4

Give them R2 Astromechs and you got yourself a list, although I am not too much of a fan of BTL-A4 TLTs. You can take ICTs and upgrade 2 Y-Wings to Gray Squad Pilots for a list that controlls the opponent well while also having great damage. Range 1-2 works better for BTL-A4 than Range 2-3 in my experience.

I'm not a big fan of the A-4 upgrade. I always seem to be pointing in the wrong directio after the first pass. While I hate giving up the extra attacks I prefer having an attack with a 360° turret. I'm with the Admiral on using the R2 mech oner the R5. Much prefer the added greens to the dial.

I'm actually with you on the R5s, that 'no crit' thing is great when you're leaning on your large hull value instead of green dice. That is, if you stick with turrets.

However, you're going to find that with all 4 Y-Wings given that title, that the Y-Wing dial isn't going to do you any favors after the initial joust. Bringing a Y-Wing's arc to bear on an Ace is going to be difficult, if you get more than 1 it will be nice.

I'm flying:

Gold Squadron w/ TLT and R5

Gold Squadron w/ TLT and R5

Gold Squadron w/ Ion Turret and R5

Gold Squadron w/ TLT, R2-A3, and BLT-A4 Title

Pick a target and fly straight at it, the TLTs open up at Range 3 and you Stress up your target. Slow down your flight and maybe you'll get another forward shot at your target, let the ion turret punish those who dive into Range 1, then pour all your TLTs into either the ionized target or the stressed one with no tokens.

It has been doing well, although my friend has informed me that he's bringing a Howlrunner Blackshot squadron next time and I fear the results.

Range 1-2 works better for BTL-A4 than Range 2-3 in my experience.

All day every day. I have even had some minor success with the BTL Autoblaster Turret paired up with the non BTL Ion Cannon y wings.
