TIE/x4

By ObiWonka, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Just came up with this. Would love to try it when Imperial Veterans comes out.

2x Tempest Squadron Pilot (21)

+ TIE/x1 (0)

+ Accuracy Corrector (0*)

2x Delta Squadron Pilot (30)

+ TIE/x7 (-2)

+ Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1)

The Advanced take Evades but still always have 2 [hits] on offense. Defenders should have Focus and Evade most of the time.

(So named because it's the average of TIE/x1 and TIE/x7 and there are 4 TIE's in the squad.)

I ran 2 x7 deltas and two scimitar bombers with LRS, Concussion, and EM the other day against Corran and Chewy. I tried to get Corran with an opening salvo of two concussion missiles, and failed miserably. Corran and Chewy dropped an x7 off of the board, but I clawed my way back and ended up with a full health Corran against a full health x7. Corran was along the edge of the board and I was right behind him. I guessed his bank turn, blocked it with a 1 bank and barrel roll and forced him off of the map.

If Corran would have instead tried to joust, I think the x7 would give him a run for his money. The free evade token is a great boost to the ship, and I am confident it will serve you well.

Looks solid, decent firepower, survivability and maneuverability. Whilst not excelling in any single area, it seems to have no obvious weaknesses either and should handle most opponents. PS2 across the squadron is a fact of life but a steady supply of evade tokens should mitigate that.

All i can say is, solid...really solid list bro.
