Poe/Corran for Store Championship

By The Penguin UK, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi all,

Looking for thoughts on this list and how it might be improved for a store championship. I figure it's fairly standard, but thought I'd run it past you chaps.

Corran Horn

Engine Upgrade

FCS

PTL

R2-D2

Poe Dameron

R5-P9

Autothrusters

VI

Bandit Squadron Pilot

Proton Rockets

100 on the nose.

I've not been playing for too long, and while I think the list is good after some practice, my movement still leaves something to be desired. Ah well.

I might need to swap out the droid on Poe, and I might not be able to get my hands on the card on the day - any thoughts on what to change it to? I'm thinking BB8 to help with arc dodge and phantoms.

Z-95 is filler, so I'm happy to drop it for something else or change the rockets, although I'm limited by what I own.

Cheers,

TPUK

Corran looks pretty standard. Poe Looks good, if you can't get R5P9, BB8 is a respectable choice but it limits your regen options. Bandit with PRockets is reasonable, can be swapped with an Awing if you need a blocker (ala Eide's Worlds list).

Good Luck

If I took BB8, I could swap PTL to Poe and give Corran the VI, might work better for action efficiency on Poe, amd still allow Corran to Phantom hunt.

Swap the Bandit for an A-wing. The A-wing will do so much more work for you than a Bandit with a Procket.

If you don't have an A-wing, then run Ion Pulse Missiles instead of the Procket. The Procket will be harder to use (especially on a Z) and it only nets you 1 extra die at range 1. The IPM is range 2-3 which is a much larger target area, and it can lock down a ship for a round. Remember that you do not have to spend your TL to fire the missile.

Lone Protos will do more work than bandits with anything

Be careful with this, I don't think BB-8 activates if you are stressed when you performed the green maneuver. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

While I know this makes it a mirror-copy of Nathan's World's list, you would still be better suited swapping the Z for an A-Wing w/ refit. That ships primary purpose is to be a blocker and the A-wing is far better in that role than a Z.

Good luck!

He does not. The idea is reveal a green, barrelroll and then PTL, move to clear the stress then take another action.

I can run the A-wing, but don't have the Chardaan refit card. Already borrowing autothrusters and the droid! Worst part about this hobby is the difficulty to get single cards!

Nifty, I hadn't realized that was an option, thanks for the education.

However, if you have stress when you reveal your dial, you can't do the BB-8 trick. Like the turn after a red maneuver or if stressed by the enemy.

So now I feel bad for running a copycat of worlds - no originality! Never mind, I certainly don't fly it as well as Nathan, that's for sure.

Don't fell bad , you clearly have think about it before go for that squad. It's not like you read a list forjust copy it !


But i know because i fell sad after seeing that list I was thinking about (mine was Poe/R5-P9/Predator+Corran/R2-D2/FCS+Prototype/Refit just before world)


I go now for 2 Veteran and 2 autothrust, thinking of aces AND twin turrets
