This list is 97 points. How viable is it? Am I trying to do too much? Any ideas on how to tweak this list or use the three points?
Poe
-PTL
-R5-P9
-Authothrusters
Warden Squadron K-Wing
-TLT
Warden Squadron K-Wing

-Tactician

Change PTL to VI on Poe.
You have 5 remaining points; use one point for the initiative bid, and the other 4 to put at Tactician in each K-Wing. You've got yourself a stew going.

I think with Poe at PS 10, you're not going to need a super strong PS bid. Realistically, the only thing that might come up is another PS 10 Poe. Otherwise you're above the 9s already, and 11s will beat you regardless.
So yeah, go ahead and throw those Tacticians onto the K-Wings. Should make for a nasty list then.
And if you're going VI, then take R5-P9 on Poe.
This:
Poe + VI + R2-D2 + AT
Warden + TLT + Tactician x2
Total = 100 points of nasty
This:
Poe + VI + R2-D2 + AT
Warden + TLT + Tactician x2
Total = 100 points of nasty
This is exactly what I'm taking to store champs.
Good stuff. Thank you all.
Why R2-D2 over R5-P9? It seems like it would be rare that I wouldn't have a Focus at the end of the turn to turn into a shield--and thus leave me less constrained by the green maneuvers.

It forces you to perform a focus action, while Artoo allow you to boost into position or acquire a target lock and still regen.

Artoo also still works if you get on the wrong end of a Stressbot, where R5 would be a very sad bundle of wasted points.
All true. For me, I've found the strongest advantage of R2-D2 is that you can get that shield back even when you're blocked.
In my case I don't have R5-P9 ![]()
However you build Poe, I have used him with two K-wings configured as bombers and the list was great. Certainly my favourite list to use at the moment. With K-wings as TLT gunships I think it is even better.
