Variation on Heaver's world's list

By brystrom1, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So after building around your typical 38 point Poe and a TLT Stresshog I've come to pretty much the same conclusion Heaver did when crunching out the last 36 points. So for sake of running something a little different here's a slight tweak.

T-70 X-Wing: · Poe Dameron (31)

Veteran Instincts (1)

· R2-D2 (4)

Autothrusters (2)

Weapons Guidance (2)

Y-Wing: Gold Squadron Pilot (18)

Twin Laser Turret (6)

· R3-A2 (2)

BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0)

Y-Wing: Gold Squadron Pilot (18)

Autoblaster Turret (2)

R2 Astromech (1)

Z-95 Headhunter: Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)

Swapping the second TLT for an AB and R2 frees up points for WG on Poe and a one point initiative bid. My thinking is if flown well the autoblaster is essentially the same undefendable damage that the TLT usually is against an actionless target. Weapons Guidance gives Poe a little more bite especially in the later game when he isn't weathering so many separate attacks that spending the focus so early in combat would be foolish. Thoughts?

Not a fan of autoblaster

The tlt will do more dmg because you'll be shooting it sooner.

Rather than the primary at range 2-3 or waiting for someone to be foolish enough to get into range 1

I to arrive at the same conclusion add heaver, and long story short tried switching out the tlt ywing for tarn with R7

Have done reasonably well with it, but again I see why the tlt is handy
