Battle of Scarrif XUXY -feedback appreciated

By BlodVargarna, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Ok here's my list:

Thinks I'm not sure of: removing Tac jammer to upgrade U wing to Heff.

XUXY (100)

Blue Squadron Pathfinder (30) - U-Wing

Fire Control System (2), Jan Ors (2), Jyn Erso (2), Pivot Wing (0), Tactical Jammer (1)

Gold Squadron Pilot (26) - Y-Wing

Twin Laser Turret (6), R3-A2 (2)

Rookie Pilot (22) - X-Wing

R2 Astromech (1), Integrated Astromech (0)

Rookie Pilot (22) - X-Wing

R2 Astromech (1), Integrated Astromech (0)

I flew a very similar list the other night with the same inspiration. :)

I was running:

X-Wing Biggs, R4-D6, Integrated (26pts)


X-Wing Rookie, R2 Astro, Integrated (22pts)


U-Wing Pathfinder, FCS, Title, Inspiring Recruit (26pts)

Y-Wing Gold Sq, BTL-A4, TLT, R3-A2 (26pts)

​I was surprised how well Inspiring Recruit was able to clear stress off the Y-Wing. Definitely not super tourney competitive but a lot of fun to fly!

I am interested in switching things up to get some more crew on the U-Wing like you've got... I was flying the U-Wing mainly as a giant blocker. First time flying the U-Wing. I love the design of the ship so I'd like to find a good way to fly it.

I was a little disappointed that the U-Wing white paint job doesn't quite match up to the gray X-Wings and Y-Wing aesthetically... I'll have to get a hold of more U-Wings someday and try painting one to match. :)

I think I'm going to try your paired down U wing. Flew against a heavy scyk with flachette cannon and assaj. There were so many stress tokens on the board it was crazy. Being able to clear 2x stress would have been useful. All that stress shut down my Jyn/Jan shenanigans. I also never got use out of Tac jammer and he overlapped me plenty so I think Heff would have been better.

I'm definitely flying this again.
