Rebel shannagins Poe with Comm Relay and Juke

By LordCaptianCommander, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I primarily run imperials but a friend told me to play a rebel list. so i cam up with this it was fun but i still prefer my Imps.

Poe Dameron:

Juke

R5-P9

Comm Relay

Integrated Astromech

Jake Farrel:

Chardaan Refit

A-Wing Test Pilot

Veteran Instincts

Autothrusters

Push The Limit

Blue Squadron Pilot:

B-Wing/E2

Jan Ors

Heavy Laser Cannon

Total Points: 99

Poe Dameron:

The theory goes, turn one use Jan Ors to turn Poe's first Focus action into an evade: comm relay lets him keep it for the rest of the game. Juke lets him be an even heavier hitter. With an evade token and Integrated Astromech, Poe has the same effective hit points as a B-Wing before the shield regeneration from R5-P9 comes into play.

Jake Farrel:

Use him on the flanks, make him as annoying as possible and try to get as much damage as you can with his measly 2 primary weapon through

Blue Squadron pilot:

This is the part of the build where there is a lot of flexibility. I prefer the HLC. To be able to throw 4 dice against some things is just so nice. You can drop the VI on Jake to get the B-Wing a Fire Control System or you can drop HLC for Mangler and add an FCS. its all preference.

General Strategy:

After Poe gets his evade separate the the T-70 and B-wing enough that your opponent has to make a choice on which to go after. Meanwhile try to slip jake behind enemy lines. I like this list because it plays a lot like the Palp shuttle with 2 aces list for imperials. (i.e. there is no great first target). Yes poe is the biggest threat individually but he has so much meat to chew through that if you just concentrate on him the B-wing with HLC is going to chew up the opponent. Should they go after the B-wing and all its hit points leaving Poe free to juke his way to victory or do you go after the PS-9 triple action high agility A-wing with only a primary weapon of 2. The point of the strategy is to get you opponent to make a decision and then do everything you can to make his decision the wrong one!
