Hey guys,

I've been working on a Luke/Dash list because it's fluffy and cool, but found that my original concept fell apart. I threw in a second t-65 at the cost of stripping Dash down to just his HLC, and that wasn't going to work either. I got some help from you earlier when I posted the list, and have an update. The original post is on the main X Wing page, and is called X - X (X Wing, Dash, X Wing, get it?), but I think this is much better. Let me know what you think:

XYtZ:

Luke Skywalker (28)
-R2-F2 (3)
-Stealth Device (3)

Dash Rendar (36)
-Adaptability (up) (0)
-Outrider (5)
-Mangler Cannon (3)

Airen Cracken (19)

97/100

The idea is to run Airen with Luke to give him the action he needs for agility. Either Airen sticks around and buffs Luke while adding a bit of firepower, or the opponent fires at Airen and leaves Luke alone for a while. Either way, Luke survives longer.

Everyone has the same pilot skill thanks to Dash's Adaptability, so you can keep Luke and Airen in formation and let Dash flank and do his thing. There's plenty of room for improvement, there's an upgrade or two in there that I could do without, and there are three points for another upgrade. What changes would you make to this list?

*Edited to take the Dash crew off of the YT-2400

You can't have two cards with the same unique name in a list. (Names with a • in front.) You need to change either your YT pilot or your crew.

Try Luke with Expertise, R2-D2 and Vectored Thrusters.

If you can get Lone Wolf or PtL on Dash, do that.

If you still have points for a third ship, then I would use any of the Rebel TIE's instead of a Z-95.

Thanks, jmswood--I'm still pretty new at the game, but should have known that you couldn't run the same unique name twice. The post has been edited, and the Dash (crew) has been removed.

I have the points to put Lando in the YT-2400, and think that might bump Dash's options a bit (provided I don't roll double blanks the whole game).

I do like PTL or Lone Wolf on Dash too . . .

I generally insist on HLC on dash,

I feel like lone wolf will help Luke better in the long run than r2-f2.

How about this?

X-Wing: · Luke Skywalker (28)
· Lone Wolf (2)
· R2-D2 (4)
YT-2400: · Dash Rendar (36)
Trick Shot (0)
Heavy Laser Cannon (7)
· Outrider (5)
TIE Fighter: · Sabine Wren (15)
Outmaneuver (3)
-- TOTAL ------- 100p. --

Okay, so I've made some adjustments, and this is what I have now:

Luke Skywalker

-Lone Wolf

-R2D2

-Integrated Astromech

Airen Cracken

Dash Rendar

-Outrider

-Adaptability (up)

-"Mangler" Cannon

-"Leebo"

The plan is to run Airen with Dash to give him extra actions, target saturation, and some supporting fire. Leebo gives the boost when it's needed and because Dash is a large ship, the consequences are bearable. Between Luke's native ability, Lone Wolf, and R2-D2, the X Wing should be dodgey enough, but the Integrated Astromech is there just in case.

I'm running Dash with Mangler to solve the range one problem, and to try to force crits. He has Adaptability to give him movement options with Airen.

I haven't tried it out yet. It seems like fun, but I'm still looking for input; what do you think?
