I've won 4/5 games with this list, against players of varying skill levels. They fly very close together, with Esege usually sharing his focus and picking on lower agility ships with his tlt. Have I just been lucky, or am I actually on to something?

Wedge Antilles (29)

I like it. You've got a pretty cool alpha strike list.

My only suggestion would be to downgrade those Proton Torpedoes to Plasma Torpedoes. Since you have focus tokens available, you're only downgrading from a crit to a hit but with potential to deal an additional shield damage. And you save a point for each Plasma. With those 3 extra points you could go for R3-A2 on the Rookie and BB-8 on Wedge for some arc-dodging.

Hope that helps.

Thanks much for your reply. I think if I didn't have swarm tactics, I'd really consider swapping the astromechs. Stressing one and not the other on purpose, or barrel rolling Wedge would get me out of the neat little formation. Both of them with R2s helps for the turn after a k-turn a lot too.

I do however really like the plasma torpedoes idea. I usually am shooting them at ps9, so the crit from protons isn't useful as an alpha strike, plus Esege has a focus for them anyway. With the 2 points plasma torpedoes frees up (I like the 99 point initiative bid), the only things I can really see are some of the cheaper bombs? Not sure where to go from there.
