I originally was trying Miranda and 3 GSP A-wings, but now I've moved onto Poe instead of Miranda. I have been having very good game results with the following list in Vassal the past week.

Poe Dameron (31)

Veteran Instincts (1)
Flechette Torpedoes (2)
R2-D2 (4)
Autothrusters (2)
Green Squadron Pilot (19)
Adaptability (0)
Chardaan Refit (-2)
Crack Shot (1)
Autothrusters (2)
A-Wing Test Pilot (0)
Green Squadron Pilot (19)
Adaptability (0)
Chardaan Refit (-2)
Crack Shot (1)
Autothrusters (2)
A-Wing Test Pilot (0)
Green Squadron Pilot (19)
Adaptability (0)
Chardaan Refit (-2)
Crack Shot (1)
Autothrusters (2)
A-Wing Test Pilot (0)
Total: 100
It includes many of the 'meta' items: 4 auto thrusters, 3 crack shots, PS 4 to go before Scouts, PS 2 if I want to have a blocker, PS10 to deal with aces. Plus, I have regen as well (kinda out of the meta).
My only flipping point has been 2 points on Poe. I had Weapon Guidance, but barely ever used it. I now have Flechette Torpedoes. But perhaps 98 point init is better? Thoughts?

:P

List looks good. I think 98 points might be the way to go. Flechette Torps are nice against aces, though - have you tried them, had any success? I would definitely put Weapons Guidance at the bottom of that list. Yeah, it works with Poe's ability but - like you said - barely.

Well, the meta items are there to deal with the meta :) I am thinking of taking this to the local regionals in May.
