does high agility work?

By megaron, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So I've been tooling around with this list last couple of days

Corran Horn, R2-D2, sensor jammer, lone wolf (45)

Gemmer Sojan, proton rockets (25)

prototype pilot, chardaan refit (15)

prototype pilot, chardaan refit (15)

the idea is i can close to range 1 with the pack of awings on one side and hopefully joust one opponent ship down.

Corran runs the other side and takes one ship out

keep doing looks or kturns till step 3?

Never assume you're going to get to range 1 with low PS ships.

Never assume you're going to get some evades on unmodified green dice.

green dice do work (sometimes), but if you don't have any tokens, they fail more often than you might expect (although not always).

I generally don't like more than one blocker a-wing, although redundancy is sometimes nice. I feel for the points though, that 15 pts on a 2 attack ship with good blocking potential is reasonable, but to spend 30 pts on the same, seems too much invested in blocking such that it will be difficult to get consistent damage in with the rest of your list. That's my experience anyway, YMMV.
