I actually think the Rebel large base ships have it pretty easy against triple Scouts, in that they can do a really good job of controlling range. Where they tend to suffer is against Aces who are moving after them (Soontir/Whisper/Vader). In my regional event I ran Dash/Lothal Rebel and didn't have any issues with Scouts or the Whisper/Echo list I played against.

Umm, that's all well and good but the topic of this thread is 4 Ship Rebel builds......... (ie small ship Rebels)

Or is it the Potty Patrol acting as a gate that all lists must pass...

Rebel players don't know that the correct answer is Nineveh.

Take this with a grain of salt...

I've recently played 3 games on vassal with a "decent" at best 4 (small) ship rebel list that wasn't meant to be that competitive.

I've lost 2 games VERY narrowly, and the other ended early but I think I might have won, or at worst had another narrow loss.

Now granted in all 3 games I faced somewhat similar lists, but the fact remains my sad 4 ship rebel list still held it's own. I can't even claim pilot skill as I've barely played the past 5-6 months, and I'm very unfamilar with the new ships still.

4 Rebel ships is so Wave 3. Remember the days when everyone flew 4 generics and it was considered a challenge to make a 3 unique list?

4 ship rebs was still good in wave 7, there was a small event called worlds and i think they did pretty good there.

Even had some hotshot rookie at Ps 8 called Poe Dameron included in the winning list....

Must have been a fluke. Some random guy gets a lucky break or something like that.
