Squad Idea

By brownj23, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi All,

I had a thought on running a squad like this. I was thinking biggs can protect the stress bot for a while while Corran does his thing and "rampages".

Gold Squadron Pilot (18)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
R3-A2 (2)
BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0)
Biggs Darklighter (25)
R2-F2 (3)
Integrated Astromech (0)
Corran Horn (35)
Push the Limit (3)
Fire-Control System (2)
R2-D2 (4)
Total: 98

Any thoughts or suggestions on it? I do wish I could get Biggs a focus and the R2F2 action. I wanted to use r2d2 on biggs but figure he is better on corran, and I don't think biggs will be around long enough to use R5P9.

Thanks.

Biggs' droid depends on what you're expecting to face. R2-F2 is good against lots of shots like a bunch of TIEs. R4-D6 would be better against a few heavy hitters like IG-88s with Heavy Laser Cannons. I personally love PtL Corran, but if you swap his EPT for Veteran Instincts you have enough points to add Engine Upgrade, the more popular "ace-hunter" variety.
