My Wave 8 "The Bombing Run" list

By brandonsosoli, in X-Wing Squad Lists

With wave 8 on approach, I've been playing with 2 cards that I am super excited to play with!

I've been testing this list on Vassal and it has created havoc for ships large and small.

It herded a phantom off the board and herded a Tie defender through two sets of cluster bombs. The Ion missiles and bombs controlled the Lambda shuttle through lots of debris and it was almost literally about 5 turns that my opponent was unable to set their own dials.

Guidance chips really helped and the surprise 360 arc of missiles on Nera changed things big time!

Lando really helped with lucking Miranda some evades to avoid a lot of damage!

Other options are taking Predator on Nera over VI and Ion/Plasma Toropedos over the Advanced Torps. Either way, I get a almost garunteed initiative bid. :)

I'd personally change the cluster mines for Connor Nets. Ion 'em up even more!

Unless, of course, you have a reason for using the clusters, in which case, as you were.

Yeah! I totally thought about that too! But what I found was that if I dropped the clusters around I was able to ionise the ship through them to cause4- 6 attack die rolling against them!

If there was a couple they didn't go through it created another spot they couldn't fly though lol
