Hey hey, so I'm hosting an over 18's X-Wing event through my work at The Archer Resort, Nowra and have organised a T/O to run it so I can play. I've already had my work and the LGS put up the OPK and some neat prizes, done the advertisement, and even have to make the boards and the boba get helmet. So with all that hard work, I'd like to play

Any, this will be my first sort of competitive event and have been playing with list ideas.

Let me know what you think!

Your title had me thinking I would be looking at a Palps/Vader list... I feel mislead.

You own T-70 expansion. Why you no fly: "Red Ace" + Comm Relay + R2-D2 + Autothrusters? Takes an unreasonable amount of effort to kill him (and is insanely fun to fly).

I apologise for making you feel mislead hahaha.

I never thought of Red Ace alongside the Comms Relay and honestly I was just considering buying a Tie F/O just the other day for the Comms relay hahaha! I love forums, so many minds coming together!!!!

I still have a month to play test a whole bunch of stuff but I am absolutely going to try that one out!!!

I seriously considered something very close to this I was just unsure on how well it would do as the stressing would end up being left out by him self a little bit too much. However, he would be an excellent distraction.... Hmmmmm....

Speaking of unreasonable amount of effort to kill "Red Ace" as configured above:

I just played a friend last night who ran 2x Bounty Hunter + Recon Specialist with an OGP + Darth Vader + Engine upgrade. I flew my "Red Ace" straight at his entire list in a joust, my other two ships (Horton Salm + TLT + R5 Astromech & Roark Garnet + TLT + Jan Ors (crew) + Moldy Crow) were out of range come combat phase 1. Meanwhile "Red Ace" was at Range 1 of both a bounty hunter and the doom shuttle. Despite recklessly endangering the life of "Red Ace" the match ended with me tabling my opponent and never losing a ship. He was focused on butchering "Red Ace" and he just couldn't do it, dice rolls were average or above average.

The game was casual with a good friend, when we initiated the first round of combat I looked at "Red Ace" and his ships and said: "Well, I think I may have overestimated his immortality..." What is sad is that I did not! Easily the most economic-cost-effective combo in the game, and at a great SP cost too!
