Somebody said "a Ghost" could beat quad TLT. Isnt that quite a bit optimistic?

The Ghost has got 16 hp and it will probably lose half of it in the very first engagement. If you dont kill a y wing in the first round, the ghost dies in round 2 of the fight.

It will, but you can have two of them and a smaller third ship while having them reasonably kitted. TLT Y-Wings won't stand up long against 4 dice FCS backed primaries.

Just thought of this, and I'm sure you guys already know, and FGD will give the specifics on the good and bad; but....it seems Y-Wing TLTs like to stay somewhat together so that ships cannot get inside their range 1 and outside their primary without having another Y to be beside or behind to take that shot. So, breaking them up is a great step 1.....what about slamming in a bomb to take their formation out quick and maybe one of them to boot?

This pic shows a K-Wing that is far better looking than the stock one made by FFG....not an esthetic favorite of mine the K; either love 'em or hate 'em I guess.

Better looking how? The model looks pretty much exactly the same to me (with slightly different paint scheme, and this one is a bit more blocky). The main difference is the flare; plastic doesn't have engine flare.

Turn 2 - kill another TLT

Turn 3 - cripple a 3rd TLT, lose ghost 1.

Turn 4 - kill TLT.

Turn 5-6 - kill final TLT.

This 10 minute game brought to you by twin lothal rebels and a 3rd ship, more HP than you have damage cards.

Of course this is all a theory. I've never played with TLTs or Ghosts and thus have never played this matchup.

Acewing 4 life. (Also, Shadow caster... love it).

A lot of it, as noted, is getting that early kill. Since you often see Scum TLT y-wings (which trade PS for upping the R2 astromech to the unhinged astromech), anything but PS1 can do the job.

Generic scum y-wings have the same PS as generic rebel y-wings.

If a y doesnt die in one volley, it was noyhing but the intervention of fate itself

Super Easy and fun 5x green A-wings with AutoThrusters.

Its often not that easy to kill 1 ywing first engagement for a lot of lists. 8 health and 1 green means you need to be able to put down 9 to 10 hits straight up. A lot of lists don't have that many shots let alone them all hitting. Considering the average 3 ship build probably has

9 total red dice thats a lot of ifs to kill 1 ywing before it fires

its easy you can beat them with 5 tlt's and bombs

^{My friend used to use them against me all the time. the easiest way to beat them is with ships that have autothrusters - I recommend}

^{Fel - autothrusters, PTL, stealth device}

^{Jax - autothrusters, PTL, stealth device}

^{(98 points)}

^{the y-wings have a range one donut hole - if you can get inside it they can not shoot back at you - it will be very unfun for the y-wings to play against.}

...and is enjoyable to play.

Here's the background. My main opponents don't care much about the game. They want to play something easy and effective, so they use 4 TLT Y-wings. What is a list that doesn't just eat it against the Y-Wings and is also fun to play?

new M9-G8 droid really hurts a single TLT. And sometimes that's all you need.

Tie/D title with tractor Beam. Preferably on Vessery. First shot reduces agility, 2nd shot does all the damage, and you have a target lock for re-rolls.

I just beat a 4 TLT list tonight in a store tournament flying Vessery like you recommended along with PTL Ryad and a Delta Tie-D, both of them with X7 title.

I've killed TLT spam with a lot of x7 titles. Three agility alone means that your double three attack dice shot isn't going to guarantee a two damage per turn out come. TLT's are good IMO because very few ships are can take a lot of hits and reliably avoid damage. Enter the TIE Defender.

I'd like to think that the real question is "How few points will beat a 4 TLT list?"

I think the lowest you can go is 26 points for a Saber Squadron Interceptor with PTL + Autothrusters. However, for the pure shenanigans I'd go with:

Jake Farrel (30)

Push The Limit

Outmaneuver

Autothrusters

Chaardan Refit

They key against 4 TLTs is to move into range 1 as soon as possible and stay there for as long as possible. Any AGI 3 ship with autothrusters and PTL can pretty much shrug off two TLTs each turn without too much worry. Also, the other 70 points of your list could be ion-tactician B-wings, if you really want:

Jake Farrel (30)

Push The Limit

Outmaneuver

Autothrusters

Chaardan Refit

2 x Dagger Squadron Pilots (34)

Sensor Jammer

Ion Cannon

Tactician

B-Wing/E2

Total: 98 points.

The B-wings completely shut down anything with 1 agility, and are highly effective against AGI 2 targets. Combine Ion+Tectician for a ship that is effecticely removed from the rest of the game. Sensor Jammer makes the AGI 1 B-wings (which are normally squishy to TLTs) far, far harder to kill. Take advantage of Ionised ships to slip Jake in behind and shake things up.
