Answer the Call!--Flood the game tables with X-wings this May 2017
So your saying... continue what I'm already doing? I can't fit a 5th X-Wing in my list outside epic. Maybe I should be playing more epic!
Played a vassal match earlier that had 5 x-wings on the table. I had 4, opponent had Biggs.

X-Wings seem to be the best rebel ship type in Epic. At least, they murderise my Imperial fleet very easily!

Does Biggs count? Or the T-70 X-Wing?
I faced 4 Blues in the last (small) tournament I played in - they finished 2nd out of 15 players. Not bad. I also faced the same list (but different player) in a 130-player Regional...
I need to practice a bit more but I love this list. Yes IA is no where to be found.
Tarn Mison (28) - X-Wing
M9-G8 (3), Vectored Thrusters (2)

@Gilarius Fly what you like. Personally I'm going classic T-65s: Luke + R2D2 + IA & Wedge with R7-T1 + Oumaneuver + Vectored Thrusters. Probably going to fly Jess as the third ship.

I just dropped 4 T-70s on the table this week and had some fun. Pava and four blues, pepper in droids to flavor. For some reason though the T-65s feel like more fun to me, despite the lack of boost and more fragile frame. Three Reds and Tarn I've done to success. I may swap out one for a classic Y-Wing with stressbot.
Look everyone is boosting and rolling :-)

Played Wedge, Wes and Biggs in 2 games yesterday. I even won both! I love expertise, bb-8, APT Wedge. Expensive as hell but I love it.

I love running a variation of that list as well. I usually use PTL instead of expertise... also what's APT?
Edited by FlyingAnchorsI have been playing a blend of T-70s and T-65s supported by Bodhi in a U-Wing for my last 2 300-point games

Advanced Proton Torpedoes.
They are the **** on Wedge.
I used to run him with them and Crack Shot, R7-T1, Experimental Interface.
There's a lot of things that'll kill in one shot. ![]()

Oh....
"people still use APTs?"![]()
I hadn't thought of that, those do sound good on wedge.

Hahaha. Yes they do.
Won a tournament last year with Dengar/Guri. Had them on Guri (it was that or a 7 point bid).
Works perfectly with Fire Control System and her ability.

Engine Upgrade on Wedge? Or did you mean to have 2 ways to barrel roll? (Add Expert Handling too...:) )

Ok technically I could have put 2 torps on Dengar. ![]()

Everyone knows you run expert handling on Porkins to maximize his ability.![]()

Yeah it's priceless to watch the face of someone that didn't know what was coming when you dump 5 pretty much guaranteed hits into something. I dropped Omega Leader in one shot after Wes(adaptability) stripped her TL and it was beautiful.

I don't own anything Rebels, but I will cheer on any player that I see running it. I will make sure to only use original trilogy Empire ships against anybody I see.
Been practicing with Jess Pava. She is a beast!
I had my first game using Nien Numb with Stay On Target, BB8, Pattern Analyzer and IA.
It's so, so dirty.
