Help vs 3 X-7Defenders

By Stoneface, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I've read over some of the suggested counters to the "Triple Ds" and triple X-7s but I have a problem. Can't use named pilots. We're playing the Galactic Civil War which limits named pilots and as the Rebels I'm getting my butt beat by the defenders on a regular basis. I really could use a lot of help.

Currently there's not a lot in the hangers to fly so giving you what I have won't be a help. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like your GCW isn't very thematic if Empire can field Defenders whenever they feel like it.

In answer to your question: Homing Missiles. Low PS with mines. Autoblasters.

Yeah, we started the game before the latest rules change which now limits Defenders. Last week was a nightmare. Lost 5 ships to triple X-7s and 2 Academy Ties. Dice were so bad that I didn't even kill an Academy Tie!

I have the homing missiles and mines and a means to deliver them. Thanks! I'll try this out Sunday.

bomb lists are going to be the answer. Specifically conners followed by ions to limit their movement and negate their title.
