I wanted to get everyone thoughts on which of the two list I should fly for several of the store champion tournaments coming up in my area

List 1

Wedge w/ PTL & BB-8 (34)

Jan w/ Wired, TLT, & Nien Numb (33)

Jake w/ VI, PTL, Title, PR, & AT (33)

Total - 100

List 2

Wedge w/ PTL & BB-8 (34)

Grey w/ TLT (26)

Grey w/ TLT (26)

Tala (13)

Total - 99

Bumping for input

Autothrusters or engine upgrade would really help Wedge survive better (at least when I run him that is the case), but I don't know what you could remove.

I would bet that the second list would put out a little more damage than the first, and so that is what I would use. Perhaps I might drop one grey to a gold squadron to get the Autothruster or Engine Upgrade.

As he lacks native Boost, Wedge is prohibited from getting Autothrusters.

I've flown the first squad myself a fair bit, and thought it's decent I probably wouldn't be taking it to a more competitive tournament like a SC.
The second squad looks more solid, though I wonder if dropping the Tala back to a Bandit and giving Stressbot & BTL-A4 to one of the Ys wouldn't be worth it. Hurts the matchup against TLT-wings and other generics, but would be a great asset against any enemy aces.

I don't own the rebel transport expansion so that is why I'm running two grey and not a stressbot :(

I'm thinking with the second list of drop the tala and wedge for Dash or Corran, has anyone anyone flown a build like this? I was thinking of having the two grays run up one side and dash of the other so they have to pick which ship to commit while the other ships blast away at range 3.

OR

I was just thinking that I have flown my B-wings in a while soooo....

2 Blues w/ advance senors (25 each)

2 Golds w/ TLT (24 each)

Total - 98

that or

2 Blues w/ FCS (24 each)

2 Grey w/ TLT (26 each)

Total - 100

That would leave 48 points, which isn't really enough for Dash but would be plenty for Corran. Wouldn't be terrible.

Another option would be to drop Wedge for a fully-kitted Jake:

Jake (Push the Limit, Veteran Instincts, Proton Rockets, A-wing Test Pilot, Autothrusters) [33]
Grey Squadron Pilot (Twin Laser Turret) [26]
Grey Squadron Pilot (Twin Laser Turret) [26]
Tala Squadron Pilot [13]
98 points
You'd easily be able to smash a PS2 TLT-wing before it could fire, and against enemy aces you have a 2-point initiative bid and plenty of coverage.
