BBXXZ with Integrated R2s

By Rakaydos, in X-Wing

So yea, I've been testing this list over vassal, seems to be doing well so far, despite my flying skills. (one Bwing lost all 5 shields to asteroids, was last ship standing. Vader was pissed.)

R2+Integrated astro definately feels like a fix for the Xwing generics, and their greater speed balances the Bwing's knife-fighting capability.

Has anyone else tried the Integrate Astro fix and what are your thoughts?

I like it but don't think it's quite enough. On the named pilots it can certainly do work as they all have their favorite astromech anyway but I'm pretty sure we'll get a combo-rifick title to pair well with astromechs soon.

Biggs + IA is just beefier

Tarn is the same but better

Most are just that and that was most of what they needed.

Might try some reds with R4-d6 and crackshot at 25pts. Pretty sure that's some solid play.

you mean R2 D6? R4 D6 is more Biggs' thing.

Immediately noticed error and corrected. Not sure if that was an auto correct (as I have been typing R2-D2 a lot in the past few months) or brain fart. Either way...

It looks like you second-guessed youself. R2D6 is the EPT droid. R4D6 is anti-superlaser.

You'll only be trying 1 Red with Crackshot, not Reds. The EPT droid is unique, so you'll only get to use it once, hence Red not Reds.

I will take this list everywhere when it hits. Love BBBBZ but too slow.

I don't fly xwings! Can't keep all of their droid designations AND my imperial protocols in order.
