I went 3-4 last night flying this, and I don't exactly consider myself a top player in my local group, a mid of the pack for sure.

It's a slow a steady setup that I used in a reverse V formation with Jan in the back. Handing over an extra die @ range 1 to Wedge is as nasty as it sounds. Things went down very fast, especially with the help of the Dorsal turret for Jan.
First round was against Palp Aces featuring Inquisitor, Omega Leader, Wampa. I hate wampa with a passion. One shoted 5 dice with wedge. happy day, no more Wampa. Poe and Jan focused down Omega to 1 health. Wedge punched Inquisitor in the face, mistake by Omega pilot and hit a debris cloud and popped. Poe and Jan finished off Inquisitor. The trio then chased the emperor down as he flew off the board.Poe lost a shield, Jan was down to 1 health.
Next round brobots. I hate brobots. I was lucky, very lucky. Red dice were not in his favor. Wedge/Jan combo did all the damage. 2 turn take down on the IG88B. IG88C went down four turns later. Poe lost 2 shields. Jan down to 3 HP. Crit was a Damaged pilot to Jan, almost was better!
Next round was Palp aces again, Inquisitor and buzzsaw whisper. Whisper got Wedge good... real good. Inquisitor nailed him to the wall, but not before Wedge got rid of his shields. Poe took out the inquisitor, but whisper got Poe good. OGP bumped Poe, Whisper offed Poe, Jan got a good retaliation strike in. Jan fished off Whisper as Whisper missed firing 4 blanks. OGP vs Jan was pretty hilarious, but the OGP got the best of her in the end.
Final round of the night... creative Scum list... Guri, Cobra, Y-Thug. Guri had Stay on target, dampers, accuracy corrector. Talonbane showed up with cloaking device and Expose, P.Accel. Y thug was unhinged, TLT, title build. This was a close one. Talonbane vs Wedge... both survived the initial joust with 1 health each left. Poe finished off Talonbane that round, and I don't know why but Thug and Guri went after Jan right away. Jan died, but it gave me time to get Wedge back up to full shield and repositioning with Poe. After that the Y died pretty good as I chased him around as Guri spent some time repositioning. Guri took out Wedge using accuracy corrector and some bad offensive rolls on my part. Jan finished off Guri as Poe shot two rounds of blanks!
I would love to fit in VI to bump up Poe and Wedge to make sure they fire first, especially with Whisper on the board. This stacking with Jan really requires them to shoot first before someone can retaliate. I'd even say swapping Poe and Wes may be a fun experiment, but the T-Roll and boost is WAY to useful when you don't got Biggs. The one thing everyone came back with is that it was hard to decide who dies first. Everyone went for Wedge first. Then after Wedge did his thing with Jan they decided maybe Jan should have died first... Dorsal turret and Kanan are the secret here though. Kanan opens up the HWK dial, allows me to use the HWK more offensively and keep up with the X-wings. Very little worry about stress is needed.
It's a fun list, I'll be using it again.
