[Escalation] Rebel ARCs and X-Wings

By Jarval, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I've got an Escalation tournament coming up this Saturday, and I've been playing around with the following list. It's doing OK but not spectacularly well in test game, so I was wondering if there was any room for improvement?

60 Points

Norra Wexley (29)
Push the Limit (3)
Tail Gunner (2)
Alliance Overhaul (0)
Biggs Darklighter (25)
R4-D6 (1)
Integrated Astromech (0)
90 Points
As above, plus Norra gets R2D2 and I add in:
Tarn Mison (23)
M9-G8 (3)
Integrated Astromech (0)

120 Points

As above, plus Norra gets Vectored Thrusters and I add in:

Jess Pava (25)
R3-A2 (2)
Primed Thrusters (1)
Integrated Astromech (0)
150 Points
As above, plus I add in:
Thane Kyrell (26)
Tail Gunner (2)
Vectored Thrusters (2)
Alliance Overhaul (0)

I'm not sure on the Jess Pava loadout - specifically would I be better off with an R2 Astromech and Pattern Analyser instead?

Any thoughts and suggestions welcome! :)

If you want a stress carrier, I'd look at getting Braylen Stramm instead. A single stress is generally not that effective.

R2 and Pattern Analyser is better for someone with Push The Limit or Daredevil. I'd probably take R2-D6 and give her a cheap elite pilot talent. Wingman would be nice - she can snuggle up next to Biggs and Norra and keep Norra stress-free, which allows the squad to either move at speed 3 or to pull the odd hard turn.

I hadn't considered Wingman, that's an excellent idea! :)

Thanks for the Wingman suggestion Magnus Grendel, it really helped pull things together for the list. I went 3-1 and came 5th out of 32, so pretty pleased. :)
