Chimps in B-Wings?

By Darkcloak, in X-Wing Squad Lists

If you're really wanting to run 3 B-Wings and put the Chimps to use, I'd suggest removing the cannons. You can only perform one type of attack at a time, so some of your points are going to be sitting idle. On top of that, Chimps are good for more than one use, so why not Extra Munitions?

Nera Dantels (26)

+ Proton Torpedoes (4)

+ Extra Munitions (2)

+ Fire-Control Systems (2)

+ Deadeye (1)

+ Guidance Chimps (0)

2x Dagger Squadron Pilot (24)

+ Proton Torpedoes (4)

+ Extra Munitions (2)

+ Fire-Control Systems (2)

+ Guidance Chimps (0)

With Deadeye, Nera can use Focus to fire her torps at any higher PS pilot that ends up in range 2-3 of her. FCS then allows you to hopefully re-roll misses while Chimps and the Protons themselves can further convert up to 2 dice to crits. B-Wings can be upgraded to PS4 by losing the cannons as well, letting them fire before a lot of other generics, not to mention moving after them which helps with acquiring Target Locks.

All said and done, you still have 1 point for a Tractor Beam on Nera if you still want a Cannon, and can line shots up for your other B's.
