Snap Shot verdict from the real Play-Testers...
theres 2 more in the UPS but theres that ambiguous 5th one to get somewhere
Depending on that dial, might see a lot of double-Ups out there.

give it a K, any K, and I can find a way to justify 3
well, "a way" being FCS on the PS 2s because it's no secret 4-dice primaries and FCS get along like cake and frosting
Edited by ficklegreendice3x UPS w/ FCS + Hyperwave so they can deploy at PS12 = 99pts.
if they have a kturn, at all, they will just fly in a straight line and kturn back lol.

I agree, if it gets a K you'll see list with 3 of them. Dual VCX are definitely playable. 3 shuttles are maybe better if they have a quick way of getting back into the fight.
5 Snap Shot A-Wings are amazing. Trust me.
m9-g8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wish he were gr8-m8 because he's great, mate, but really that's the only criticism I can leverage against him
love his design, he's so versatile!
Agreed, a great little astromech. I am just trying to decide who makes the best caddy for him. Braylen likes the stressbot, Tarn gets an R7, Poe and R5-P9 are BFFs (sorry BB-8) and plenty of people want to give R2-D2 a lift.
So where to put our little target-lock lover. Thane maybe? Or even Dutch?

M9g8 keeps the lock for return fire and does things while tarn gets ignored

YES. THEY. ARE. My favorite list post-HOTR, no questions asked!
Snap Shot is nifty, but trick shot is good.

Real playtesters is a broad category. There are plenty of uncredited playtesters but they have NDA's with FFG not to spoil and still get early play testing information before any public release even after they are inactive in playtesting.
Right? Both the 5x Adapt/Crack and the 5xTrick/Crack builds look like fun...but 3x Rebel Aces, 3x HotR, 3xStar Vipers, and then some combination of boxes that gets you to five crack shots? Jesus Christ.
Yeah, I was looking at snap shot/crack shot on 5 green squadrons. I stopped after doing about 2 minutes of pricing. The cost to run cool a-wing squadrons is insane... assuming you start out with none of the required cards or minis that's...
3x rebel aces at $30 each; $90
2x a-wings at $15 each; $30
3x HOTR @ $40 each; $120
5x Khiraz @ $15 each; $75
I'm not sure if my dollar figures are entirely accurate (I usually work in £) but still, that's like $315 to put 5 a-wings on the table with a cool setup....
I want to try out 5x snap/crack a-wings, but not that much...

I'm also currently looking at playing this list and a few variations. Thankfully the people I play with have no issue with playing without all the cards, and they'd also be happy to lend me anything that I'm missing if I want to take it to a tournament. If I really, really like the list then I'll consider buying 3 copies of snap shot and an A-Wing title online, but not before playing the list extensively.

I'm talking all the guys on the forums that play our beloved game; like you sir. Here's where the real testing that's, out of the box!
I'm really getting fantastic ideas.......but I'll have to buy some more crack.....which one? How many?

Ebay/ bigorbitcards.co.uk /firestorm cards is the way to go. Physically buying all the ships for a few cards is madness.Yeah, I was looking at snap shot/crack shot on 5 green squadrons.

That's X-wing!
Also: proxy for practice, borrow for tournies - I mean it's rather unlikely that all your local mates are planning to take a crackswarm to the tournament you're attending...
I played the 5 Snappy, Cracky A-wings today in a small tournament. Pretty fun, but not sure if it is as good as the Adaptability/Autothrusters (Chihuahua version) as it does trade defense for some serious offense. Defense/resiliance is a pretty huge part of the strength of 5 A's.
First round I played agains a mixed TIE FO, TIE SF 5 ship swarm. Snap Shot was pretty great in the round where we all slam into each other. Came down to a Final Salvo and a loss.
Next round was against Exposing Palp carrying Chiraneau with Maarek X7 Stealth Device Defender. Burned down the Decimator to 2 hull in 2 rounds. Against the Defender it was pretty useless. I did manage to win that one.
Final round was against Dengaroo. Gonk Manaroo/ Overclocked Dengar. Burnt down Manaroo in 1 round as I blocked her with 1 ship and fired with 3 Snaps followed by 4 attacks. Dengar then did his thing and killed them all single handedly, with only 1 or 2 other Snaps coming up that were not in Arc or were in Arc but gave a ship a last ditch attack before it died anyway.
... So, so far what I'm seeing is Snapshot isn't worth 2 points nor its opportunity cost as an EPT?
Though, has some options with Juke. But not a lot.

The sooner we can forget about that guy, the better.
Well, the thing about the 5 awing list is its kinda banking on you already got most of that.
LOTs of players already have 3-6 crackshots, atleast 1 rebel ace box, and atleast 1 hotr box.
Given the release article of the UPS i expect people to multi-buy that over the hotr box, since most of the repeats in hotr you dont need more than they give you.
Yeah if you had none of those expansions (or imperial vets) then thats an expensive as hell list to field. Im missing 2 cracks, 2 rebel ace boxes, and obviously more snaps. I probably wont do it because im not a fan of repeat buying boxes like that for a single strat i wont ever use that number of cards elsewhere. I actually had a lot of reasons for 2 imp vet boxes, im getting more reasons for a 2nd hotr box, but unless i wanna buy 2 of them i dont see a reason for more rebel aces since unless its JUST awings, 2 is all you can field and still have another ship worth a hoot.

So do you think an A-wing squad of 5 with Snapshot is far better than a smaller squad with Prockets and Crackshot?
5 snapshot trick shot A wings! Or three plus an ace with space for Autothrusters.

The higher the PS, the easier it is to actually pull off a procket.
