2 T70 Red Vets, 3 Zs

Did fairly well with a similar list a while back, but was hoping for some input on this one. Red Vets do basic damage, as do Tala pilots. Bandit Z is used for blocking.

2 Red Veterans (26)

Elusiveness (2)

R2 (1)

Autothrusters (2)

62 points

2 Tala Squadron (13)

26 points

1 Bandit Squadron (12)

12 points

I like lists with at least four ships. It provides versatility just makes the game more fun with flying more ships!

I'm not feeling elusiveness. I think PTL or predator way better and use IA instead of AT. Spend the 2 points saved on converting Tala to a Prototype A wing Chaardaning refit.

It's not a great list, but if flown well, neither will it be utterly trounced. You've got 5 ships all with similar dials and PS4. The heavy hitters are the double modified X-Wings and they're moderately beefy, each consisting of 7HP behind 2 green dice, so they should do some work and make your opponents question whether they want to take out those first, or the Z-95s which explode more quickly. Could be good for a laugh if you're in a swarmy, X-Wingy kinda mood.


Or:

Predator (3)

R2 Astromech (1)

Integrated Astromech (0)

Red Squadron Pilot (23)

R2-D6 (1)

Predator (3)

Tala Squadron Pilot (13)


Total: 100


One less ship overall, but the Red Vet you pickup has the third attack die and Predator so you pick up a third heavy hitter.

Don't discount PTL on the red vets, focus and TL for maximum dice mods, or boost and focus.

Good point, PTL will definitely make them scarier. What about losing a Z to give everyone a little bit of an u? Something like:

Red Veteran (26)

PTL, R2, Autothrusters (6)

" " (26)

" " (6)

Prototype Awing, Chardaan, Auto (17)

Tala Squadron, Homing Missile,GC (18)

OR would losing the missile and thrusters on everyone be worth an extra Z?
