Making U-wings work

By Redblock, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Finnaly got hold of my U-wing, but now got a problem: can't create a list using it

My best idea was this :

100 points

PILOTS

Captain Rex [Sabine's Masterpiece, Dead Man's Switch] (17)

Bodhi Rook [Proton Torpedoes, Jyn Erso, Pivot Wing, Guidance Chips] (31)

Gray Squadron Pilot [Proton Torpedoes, Extra Munitions, Guidance Chips] (26)

Gray Squadron Pilot [Extra Munitions, Proton Torpedoes, Guidance Chips] (26)

Idea is sending Rex to give oponent damned if you do damned if you don't dillema, and while he's dealing with it close with your main force for alpha strike. But this is kinda weak list and just rolls over to "black one" title (had one of worst X-wing games of my life playing alpha list against that evil piece of card). Need better ideas, open to sugestions

Drop the munitions from Bodhi, then you can give Bodhi FCS and Jan Ors. Tactician is a good option for Rex. There are lots of other options if you take the Greys down to Golds.

For comprison, here's my favorite Bodhi list:

Rook (97)

Bodhi Rook (35) - U-Wing
Fire Control System (2), Flechette Torpedoes (2), Jan Ors (2), Jyn Erso (2), Pivot Wing (0), Anti-Pursuit Lasers (2)

2x Green Squadron Pilot (31) - A-Wing
Juke (2), Homing Missiles (5), A-Wing Test Pilot (0), Autothrusters (2), Push The Limit (3)

With minor tweaks this list can fly A-wing Aces.

Here's my best U-Wing list so far:

U-Wing (100)

Cassian Andor (42) - U-Wing
Push The Limit (3), Sensor Jammer (4), Jyn Erso (2), Ezra Bridger (3), Pivot Wing (0), Hull Upgrade (3)

Jan Ors (38) - HWK-290
Wired (1), Twin Laser Turret (6), Kyle Katarn (3), Moldy Crow (3)

Green Squadron Pilot (20) - A-Wing
Snap Shot (2), Chardaan Refit (-2), A-Wing Test Pilot (0), Crack Shot (1)

I haven't had a chance to fly it yet, but Jan supporting Cassian and GSP's attacks while Cassian pulls stress off Jan seems to have good symmetry.

Don't know how I feel about DMS on Rex, never liked the card. Dampners would be far better. My favorite upgrade on him is Stealth Device. Rex + Stealth is nasty.
