Here are two lists I'm considering for my weekly friendly. I think my friend is playing brobots.

Poe & Schmoes (100)

Poe Dameron (45) - T-70 X-Wing

Push The Limit (3), R2-D2 (4), Pattern Analyzer (2), Black One (1), Autothrusters (2)

Prototype Pilot (15) - A-Wing

Chardaan Refit (-2)

Prototype Pilot (15) - A-Wing

Chardaan Refit (-2)

Gold Squadron Pilot (25) - Y-Wing

Twin Laser Turret (6), R2 Astromech (1)

Or

Poe Jess Blue (100)

Poe Dameron (45) - T-70 X-Wing

Push The Limit (3), R2-D2 (4), Pattern Analyzer (2), Black One (1), Autothrusters (2)

Jess Pava (29) - T-70 X-Wing

M9-G8 (3), Primed Thrusters (1), Integrated Astromech (0)

Blue Squadron Novice (26) - T-70 X-Wing

R2 Astromech (1), Primed Thrusters (1), Integrated Astromech (0)

I suggest Biggs instead of a Blue if you are against IGs. Don't let Poe get shot by both in one round, and try to split his fire as much as possible between Biggs and Poe.

I'll second that.

If it's brobots then there's a pretty good chance it's heavy laser cannons. Which means that Biggs + R4-D6 + integrated actually gets to do some decent work here.

On the original question; the second list is (IMO) better by a country mile - Those A-wings are not going to do much at all to Brobots.

Hell, Biggs in general if you're flying trip X's and want a chance to use your better pilots.

That Poe build is optimum (also a beast if flown well).

We wound up having a third player so we shared 100 points. I went with Fat Poe (extra fat with a proton torp), and my other friend flew two Blue Squadron Novices. It was fun. But the problem was coordinating our forces. Yes super fat Poe is a beast.

He could take damage and regen.

Always having a stress token more or less was a pain but pattern analyzer was key. I wish I had put vectored thrusters on as he never had a range three attack on him I don't think. Barrel roll would have made him a more deadly arc dodger.

The two BSNs got killed, while Poe took out Brobot C. We called it as the inevitable result would likely have seen Poe kill B as well, but it probably would have taken an hour.
