By underling, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I'm a big fan of the B-Wing, and have been running the 4BZ list a lot.

I've come up with a variant of that list, and think it may have some potential.

Dagger Squadron w/ B-Wing/E2 and Intelligence Agent

Dagger Squadron w/ B-Wing/E2 and Intelligence Agent

Dagger Squadron

Dagger Squadron

The idea would be to run them in pairs, one with IA and one without, with the pairs fairly close together.

Our local meta is starting to see smaller builds (3-4 ships) with higher PS pilots, and I thought this might be a nice way of offsetting that PS advantage a little.

It loses the Z blocker (and attack dice), but gains in PS and minor maneuvering knowledge.

It should not only help against low count, high PS builds, but also against higher count, low PS builds, in that you can potentially remove one or two of them before they can shoot.

Thoughts?

or

or
