personally opt for Biggs because Wes is le squish

also opt for bb-8 on Wes for orientating his firing arc

Do you think r2d2 is worth it there? Really those scouts got so hard that r4-d6 might result in more mitigation.

I've tried the following vs Torpedo Scouts, and it wrecks them handily:

Wes w/ VI, R3-A2 + integrated = 32

Wedge w/ predator, BB-8 + integrated = 34

Sabine w/ lone wolf, TLT + chewie = 33

So I think either of your lists can work fine as well (your daggers dishing out the pain in place of Wedge & Sabine)

Between Wes and the prototype, its actually hard for the scouts to get any alpha strike going (proto blocks one, Wes defangs another). R3-A2 is sometimes handy, especially when you pick a scout that cannot use a green move next turn to get a torpedo launch due to relative positioning. So I would suggest R3-A2 and VI on Wes (both useful upgrades on him for all kinds of matchups, not just scouts).

I have to second the StressWes, although I sometimes run him with Wired instead of VI. Definitely suggest running Biggs with him though, I've never seen anything draw fire quite like a StressWes.

The real problem Rebels are having isn't beating Triple U-Boats; the problem is having a list that handles both U-Boats AND PalpAces. What's good against Palpaces (Rebel Regen and Stresshog) does horribly against U-Boats, and what does well agin U-Boats - like this list - would get eaten alive by a PalpAces list.

*sigh* Rebels are in a hard spot right now.

Ugh palp aces. Yea that's hard to pull off. The prototype might get a block, but they will shred the list otherwise. Boo.

I have to second the StressWes, although I sometimes run him with Wired instead of VI. Definitely suggest running Biggs with him though, I've never seen anything draw fire quite like a StressWes.

I have some PTSD about rolling blank, blank, focus, focus over and over from an actionless stressWes. Might give it a shot again though.
