Pincushion and the needles

By Shirako, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I've been having a lot of fun with 2x GSPs with Outmaneuver, Refit, ATs, and PTL. For those of you that don't know I am a huge advocate of Outmaneuver, I think it is a highly underrated EPT and it really helps those 2 attack dice sting a little more. However as we all know too well green dice fail and A-Wings are almost as notorious as TIEs for getting one-turned or even one shotted, so I brought along the walking carpet to give the list a little more staying power.'

2x GSP - Outmaneuver, PTL, Refit, ATs (50)

Chewie - Predator, Jan Ors, RecSpec (50)

Pred reroll + focus helps everyone's favorite fuzzball put some damage on targets...although he's not full tank Chewie (R2+3P0) he still forces the opponent to hit him 13 times to put him down. I think this list does a good job of stabilizing and covering the other parts of the list's weaknesses. I.E. the Falcon goes down quick to TLTs, well GSPs have PS advantage and will melt the TLTs right back with Outmaneuver. The whole list is lacking in pilot skill, but the GSPs are maneuverable enough to get in the way of the likes of Fel/Vader to set Chewie up for a shot on a tokenless target.

Internet pennies for your thoughts.

Outmaneuver is a great card. I use it a lot on the Defender with its white Koiogran turn and Tetran Cowall with his ability to utilize a variety of Koiogran turn, but I think it would work great on A-Wings even if I've never actually tried it.

I agree that outmaneuver is a nice card for a-wings. However, its not really better than predator (or worse). So you can go either way, or take one of each even.
