2 Ties and an old guy walk into a bar...

By Iski19, in X-Wing Squad Lists

No this isn't a joke but looking for advice with 3 ship list....

2 Ties and an old guy walk into a bar... (100)

Tomax Bren (27) - TIE Bomber

Lightning Reflexes (1), TIE Shuttle (0), Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1), Intelligence Agent (1)

Colonel Vessery (39) - TIE Defender

Veteran Instincts (1), Ion Cannon (3), TIE/D (0)

Captain Yorr (34) - Lambda-Class Shuttle

Electronic Baffle (1), Tractor Beam (1), Emperor Palpatine (8), Emperor Palpatine (8)

Thought being that Yorr can pull stress from Tomax to enable quick turns, not sure how it will play out but seems to do ok. Any advice would be appreciated.

I don't understand the point of Bren here. He literally offers no value to this list. Other than maybe you like the idea of using Lightning Reflexes? I can see it being amusing for a casual game, but this list lacks teeth...

Also, tractor beam on Yorr is pointless. All of your other ships will have shot, so it won't do anything meaningful. I guess you are hoping to throw the occasional enemy ship onto an asteroid, but realistically, that is not going to happen very often (and even when it does, its not always going to be great, especially on higher PS ships that fired their shot already anyway).

Definitely needs a lot more offense. Palpatine can help Vessery stay alive a little longer, but he's going to go down first and it'll all be over.
