Poe, Jake and the Focus Sisters

By AT Leader, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Thinking about trying something like this once I can get caught up on the new releases (Grad School and Work have kept me from X-Wing since July)

Poe Dameron - PS9

Black One

PTL

R2 Astromech

Pattern Analyzer

Vectored Thrusters

42 pts

Jake Farrell - PS9

A-Wing Test Pilot

Chardaan Refit

VI

PTL

Autothrusters

28 pts

Blue Squadron Pathfinder - PS3

FCS

Jyn Erso

I haven't taken a lot of time on this yet, but thought I would get it out there and ask for your thoughts!
Short version: Jyn gives focuses and Jans can make some evades. Poe and Jake like focuses ;) and evades are nice too!
EDIT: Thoughts about a name change to Poe Dameron feat. Jake and the Focus Sisters
EDIT 2.0: Corrected Jake to 28 pts. Thanks to J Viz!

I would almost want to put com-relay on Poe... you know, because I can. :)

POE, JAKE AND THE FOCUS LADIES 99 points PILOTS Blue Squadron Pathfinder (29) U-Wing (23), Fire-Control System (2), Jan Ors (2), Jyn Erso (2), Pivot Wing (0) Poe Dameron (PS9 Version) (42) T-70 X-Wing (33), Black One (1), R2 Astromech (1), Comm Relay (3), Juke (2), Vectored Thrusters (2) Jake Farrell (28) A-Wing (24), A-Wing Test Pilot (0), Chardaan Refit (-2), Veteran Instincts (1), Autothrusters (2), Push the Limit (3)

giving Poe Juke/Com Relay will help his offense and defense. Will also reduce the need to clear stress so you could in theory choose a different droid...like BB8 to get him even more fun!

I like the idea of Juke-Comm Relay Poe, but for this I want to stay with PTL Poe. I will keep your the BB-8/Juke/CR in mind though if this version doesn't perform or isn't fun. I know that I have heard a couple people who have had success with that build in more of a Rebel Regen.

In my opinion the only T-70 you want to put Comm Relay on is Red Ace. The others need someone like Jan to supply them with the token and, with a Juke/Comm Relay build on Poe once Jan is of the board/out of range you have 5 'dead' points on Poe that cannot be used or you have to hold onto an evade whether or not it would be helpful to use it.

PTL Poe really wants BB8, the ability to perform 3 actions (boost off the green and PTL to perform an action, clear stress with the green and perform normal action) is great fun and being able to boost before or after the manoeuvre means you can really adjust your position. Having said all that I would still favour R2-D2 Poe

The Jake build is the one I go for (and is actually only 28 points) and really is great fun to fly, slippery as anything
