YT2400 and Support

By IGotPoesJacket, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi everyone,

First post here - just bought the game and a few ships. Only played some Tie vs T70 skirmishes at the moment but looking to move up to a bigger game.

I've bought the following because I thought the models were sweet:

1 x Millenium Falcon

1 x YT-2400

2 x X-Wing T-70

1 x E-Wing

I've put a list together I thought I would try out:

Dash Rendar YT-2400, Lone Wolf, Outrider, Mangler Cannon, Chewie

2 x Blue Squadron Pilot.

I was thinking of trying to "Hammer and Anvil" - Dash hits the middle of the field and acts as bait and fire support, whilst the T-70s swoop in from a flank, trying to stay at range 3 of Dash so he can maximise his attack and evade potential.

Does this sound reasonable? Or do the game mechanics not work like this?

Alternatively I've thought of getting Y-Wings and sticking Ion Cannons on them, or some kind of B-Wing builds, but otherwise the same tactics - I thought the power and maneuvrability of the T-70s would be better though.

I'm not too worried about raw power at the moment, I'm still learning so want something that's not ninja to fly well :)

Thanks for reading.
