Bombers Man

By BleakSquadron, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So I recently took a list with a couple of bombers out to some decent success. It had a little black squadron wingman with draw their fire, and man did he do some work keeping those bombers alive. I liked it so much that I came up with this:

Gamma Squadron Pilot 18

-Plasma Torpedoes 3

-Extra Munitions 2

-XX-23 S Thread Tracers 1

-Guidance Chips 0

Gamma Squadron Pilot 18 (x2)

-Plasma Torpedoes 3

-Extra Munitions 2

-Guidance Chips 0

Black Squadron Pilot 14 (x2)

-Draw Their Fire 1

It rounds out at 100 points and it should be pretty punchy. All the ships out pilot skill scouts as well, which was an unintentional plus (went with all ps 4 to move at the same time as bsp's). The thread tracers are just an extra point, and maybe they'll come in handy sometime. (first pass everyone focus, and that gamma fires the tracers to get locks for the torps? Seems alright, in theory).

Questions, comments, or concerns welcome.

Looks good. Have you ever played it against triple scouts?

Haven't yet, and luckily for me no one in my local flgs has brought out triple scouts yet. However I would assume that it should be able to kill a scout before it fires (hopefully, haven't done concrete math) and there's of course a bunch of 2 dice attacks when the tubes are empty. however I had a three hull bomber come off completely unscathed vs a proton rocket earlier (2 hits 2 crits became 2 crits after my evade, and then the 2 bsp's absorbed the pain.)
