I got a chance to fly one of my experimental builds for the first time tonight.
I lost...
But it was still a hoot to fly! ![]()
I give you the Red Devils.
Red Devils (100 points)
Kyle Katarn (35)
(21) HWK-290
(3) Predator
(6) Twin Laser Turret
(3) Moldy Crow
(2) Jan Ors
Red Ace (36)
(29) T-70 X-Wing
(3) Comm Relay
(4) R2-D2
(0) Integrated Astromech
Garven Dreis (29)
(26) X-Wing
(3) R5-P9
Tactics:
Slow play the opening. On the first round you can get the evade onto Red Ace's Comm Relay. According to the FAQ, Garven can use his ability after using R5-P9 even if he cannot recover any shields. This helps charge the focus battery on the Moldy Crow during the first few rounds.
Later, if Red Ace's Comm Relay is ever empty, Garven can pass his focus token over after either attacking or defending, and let Jan Ors turn it into an evade. This makes Red Ace even more tanky. If the Comm Relay is full, just send the focus token back to Kyle at the end of the round.
Of course, the obvious weak link is Kyle Katarn. Once the HWK goes down, the list loses quite a bit of the synergy. But it sure is fun until then. I will probably fly it again sometime. ![]()
