Palpatine's Bumper Car

By BadAsh1, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Wanna tick off aces and TLT spammers alike? Enjoy...

Decimator

Captain Oicunn (PS4) - Dauntless title, Gunner, Palpatine, Anti-Pursuit Laser, Crackshot

TIE Fighter

Wampa (PS4)

TIE Fighter/FO

Omega Leader (PS8) - Stealth Device, Crackshot

I swear, half will table-flip and the rest will just curse how cheap it is (funny coming from someone with 3 TLT ships). Oicunn runs in front, Wampa and OL shoot from behind.

Play notes:

Stack your asteroids all to one side, keeping them 1 space apart.

Put OL on the outside edge, then Wampa and finally Deci on the inside. Later, when you all turn hard (deci 2 turn, wampa 1, OL 3), you'll be formed up with Deci in the front.

Run up the edge of the board closest to the asteroids, full speed (4 5 5) towards your first victim and gobble them up by round 2 or 3. I prefer to munch on a stresshog or Miranda, but low PS ships are tasty snacks as well.

When you must turn, do 2-speed hard turns in circles around the rock if enemy is closeby. Use TIE's to K or similar for shots once formation breaks. Re-form behind Deci once clear of rocks again, but keep hugging the rocks if enemy gets close to make their maneuvering for rear/easy shot harder. The TIE's do most of the work, deci is there as a threat and for Palp support.

When aces end up within Oicunn's movement range, stomp on them. Soontir Fel disappears in one round if he carelessly gets within range1 of a deci with at least 1 TIE having a supporting shot. Between Palpatine, gunner, and potentially 2 crack shots if OL is joining in, most aces get melted if they get too close, not even mentioning Oicunn belly-flopping on them if they put themselves in such a position.

When headhunter or A-wings try to block you, make them pay with a hit and then shots from the TIE's.

Remember that if someone gets in range1 of deci, it has a 4-die shot, plus gunner, possibly palp and possibly target lock.

Agreed.

There's a prior discussion about this list here: https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/topic/202421-tournament-shake-up-bumper-cars/#entry2054248

The thread linked above was interesting, and possible variations of this list and their strengths were discussed.

Maybe cause that SAME topic about the SAME list, started by the SAME guy, in the SAME "my list is da best" manner.... <_<

Adjust as you wish. The list, as posted, is already at 99 points. Crack (1) vs. Comm/Juke (5).
