Brothal Rebels - 2x ghost list

By Daniel Beaver, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I was playing around with this a bit last night, and I think it has some potential. The interplay between FCS, Gunner, and TLT is cool - if you purposely miss with any of your TLT shots, gunner triggers and you can shoot your primary weapon /w a free target lock. Tactician further zones out an area in front of and behind your ships, where they take a minimum of two stress (three if you trigger gunner).


They have 3/4 donut of death in the range 1 band on their sides and rear that you'll have to take into account. In a game I played, Corran Horn snuck his way into this section and made a mess of things. However, he needs a minimum of 3 turns of maxed-out shooting to kill a VCX-100 - more if they are taking evade actions.


Against TLT swarms, you have a PS3 advantage, as well as enough hit points that they need a minimum of 2 turns to kill one of your ships. Against U-Boats, you have enough total HP to weather the alpha strike, as well as simultaneous fire on the turn that one of your ships dies.

You only have the rear shot if the Phatom is on board.

Indeed, and I mention that you have a donut of death at your rear and sides (where your TLT and primary can't reach). However, the VCX has a dial that lets you re-position the ship and get primary arc shots. Not so dissimilar to running YT-2300's without the outrider title.

I don't know if I'd call a list "Brothel Rebels".
