Regen and Tie

By Karhedron, in X-Wing Squad Lists

40 Poe (PS8) (31), R5-P9 (3), VI (1), Autothrusters (2), Pattern Analyser (2), Black One (1)
36 Red Ace (29), R2-D2 (4), Comms Relay (3), IA (0)
23 Ahsoka (17), VI (1), Captured Tie (1), Sabine's Masterpiece (1), Jan Ors (2), BMST (1)
99 Total

This list an update of the Rebel Regen list I was running at the start of the year with Poe and Red Ace supported by Kyle Katarn. I always felt that even with the TLT, the HWK was a bit of a weak link and the release of the Captured Tie allows me to experiment with a cheaper support ship and put a few of the new toys on Poe.

Most of the list is pretty self explanatory. Ahsoka stays undercover as long as possible and feeds extra actions to the T70s. Jan Ors allows Red Ace to keep her Comms Relay fully charged. BMST is mainly there as insurance but could come in handy.

The crew slot on the Tie is probably the biggest unknown. While Jan Ors is great with Red Ace, switching her out for a Rec Spec would double the amount of support Ahsoka can dish out and might be more beneficial in the long run.

Thoughts, improvements, suggestions?

Well, to start with R5-P9 is 3 points not 4.

Other than that, it looks pretty good. VI is possibly less important since Ahsoka can give Poe a Boost at the start of the combat phase...but I'm not sure what else might be good. The other obvious one, lone wolf, doesn't really work as there's next to no chance of losing Ahsoka before Poe if she doesn't want to be hit.

I guess predator might be an option?

Thanks for spotting that, fixed now.

That is true. Being PS10 means he is harder for other Aces to get the drop on. I have run into VI Whisper a few times and PS10 really appeals there.

True although I would have to drop Black One to afford it. On the flip side, as long as she is alive, Ahsoka can allow him a free TL which probably gives him a better offensive buff but does then preclude the Boost.

you might also consider nien numb with stressbot, thrusters, primed thrusters and ptl instead of red ace. If you boost into range 1 after a t roll or k turn, you give one stress + 2 actions for no stress at all! Just to make your list more aggressive, but of course if you die hard want double regeneration then that is not an option.
