2 squads for store league

By polmoneys, in X-Wing Squad Lists

long story short I've to commit to a rebel and empire squad for elimination rounds. I'm struggling with rebels.

Nien Nunb (29)
Rage (1)
R2 Astromech (1)
Integrated Astromech (0)
Black One (1)

Biggs Darklighter (25)
M9-G8 (3)

Miranda Doni (29)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
Homing Missiles (5)
Long-Range Scanners (0)

Total: 100

I'm a die hard imperial player so it's been loong since flown any of those ships. I'd love some kindly advice on the effectiveness of the proposal. It has some allure as HM Miranda or biggs droid along Nien and the title but not sure if it can #resist against what I expect will be tier 1 lists...

can it work? What would you fix?

TIA

For starters, don't forget integrated astromech on Biggs since it's free.

If you have it, R5-P9 will serve you better to keep Biggs alive, unless you're using M9-G8 to target lock a friendly ship. Depends on your intent.

I would say Primed Thrusters over the title if you plan on Raging, so you at least get an action during the rounds you don't plan on using Rage.

It should be able to work fine, I think as long as you practice it to work out any kinks you find or if you're comfortable enough with the ships.

What about this? better support than Biggs ? Looks more flexible. Black One title will remove TL against missiles/torps and if Ashoka gets behind an upsilon or a sans VI Bosk I like the odds.

Nien Nunb (29)
Rage (1)
BB-8 (2)
Integrated Astromech (0)
Black One (1)

Ahsoka Tano (17)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Rey (2)
Captured TIE (1)
Sabine's Masterpiece (1)

Miranda Doni (29)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
Extra Munitions (2)
Homing Missiles (5)
C-3PO (3)
Guidance Chips (0)

Yeah, I think this should work well.

One thing I'm not super big on is Rey crew member on Ashoka. I figure you'll keep her in close to give the others free actions. It'll be hard for you to bank them when you're spending it each round. But if you're planning to keep her away initially, it'd be nice to bank the focuses I suppose. Jan would be good for that spot. I haven't tried Rey on Ashoka yet though, so it may be awesome for all I know.

If you want to keep Biggs with M9G8 you can drop HM down to Plasmas, swap LRS for GC, and then have 2pts for EM/Rey/etc.

I'm a big fan of plasmas on Miranda since you can drop 6 shields off YV's/Ups/VCX with opening shot.

Rey crew is more of a failsafe against HotShot Copilot or a bump but those 2 points could be spent on an EMP device to slow down Defenders or K-wing bombers...

undecided :D
