Hey guys!

I've been looking to make a list that utilizes my favorite ship (A-Wing) along with a few of the new shinies that look like they will be a lot of fun to play. This is what I came up with; let me know if you have any advice or suggestions!

Cassian-- 27 (34 total)

• Jan 2
• Jyn 2
• Pivot Wing 0
• Experimental Interface 3

Jake-- 22 (27 total)

• A-Wing Test Pilot 0
• Chardaan Refit -2
• PTL 3
• Juke 2

Norra-- 29 (39 total)

• Vectored Thrusters 2
• R5-P9 3
• PTL 3
• Tail Gunner 2
• Alliance Overhaul 0

Obviously some of this is conjecture as to what will work well, given that the dial for the U-Wing is still unknown. The basic idea is to use Cassian (or any of the unleaked U-Wing pilots, depending on their pilot ability; his is beneficial but not critical to the list as I see it) to feed focuses/evades into Jake and Norra so that they might make the most of their amazing pilot abilities. Things I have considered are: using advanced sensors/enhanced scopes on Cassian, outmaneuver on Jake (rather than juke), maybe an ept on Cassian... Let me know what you think! Cheers!

well we know the U-wing can do a speed 0 (and with pivot wings do a 180 at the same time) so could be a fun jouster.

i'm probably biased as an imperial aces player but i feel the a-wing needs AT, and though I love the ARC-170 I'm worried about the low MA

There is absolutely nothing you could take in a list to justify r5p9 on norra instead of r2d2 for 1 more point

Dropping Juke to VI on Jake lets you up R5-P9 to R2-D2; I get where you were going with that, with Jan handing out tons of focus, but at that point you're using 2-3 focus per turn so I wouldn't necessarily count on that. Plus VI lets you arcdodge more (which Jake excels at) and with Juke you're usually shooting first so it's not terribly reliable. Not having an ARC yet I can't comment on Vectored Thrusters on it vs Autothrusters on Jake, but it's definitely worth considering. Finally there's no good reason not to throw adaptability on Cassian to bring him up to equal PS with Norra.

Thanks for the input! Here's an updated version of the list, taking account of what you all suggested:

Cassian-- 27 (31 total)

• Jan 2
• Jyn 2
• Pivot Wing 0
• Adaptability 0

Jake-- 24 (28 total)

• A-Wing Test Pilot 0
• Chardaan Refit -2
• PTL 3
• Veteran Instincts 1
• Autothrusters 2

Norra-- 29 (40 total)

• Vectored Thrusters 2
• R2-D2 4
• PTL 3
• Tail Gunner 2
• Alliance Overhaul 0

Total: 99 - 1 point bid
