Roll One More

By Drakeheart, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So with all this talk of OpSpec lately, I'm throwing this into the mix:

G-1A Starfighter: · Zuckuss (28)
Snap Shot (2)
Fire Control System (2)
Operations Specialist (3)
Y-Wing: · Kavil (24)
Predator (3)
Synced Turret (4)
Unhinged Astromech (1)
Protectorate Starfighter: · Fenn Rau (28)
Determination (1)
Autothrusters (2)
Concord Dawn Protector (1)
-- TOTAL ------- 99/100p. --

Zuckuss with OpSpec. If his extra die gamble works, then yay damage, but if not, he gets to hand out Focus tokens. Snap shot benefits from Zuckuss' ability, so I threw it on as a thought experiment.

Really clever stuff!

The only thing I'd change before putting it on the table is Determination as Fenn Rau's EPT.

If Fenn's taking crits, he's not long for this mortal world. Crack Shot would keep the same bid, but there are a bundle of 0-2 point EPTs to choose from.

Hell, you could sprint with the theme. Give him Snap Shot, too. His abiliy applies to the Snap Shot, just like Zuckuss...

Just some thoughts.

Or instead of determination use the ept that he is meant to use: fearlessness

They can all use it. Use the additional points to bump Kavil's mech to R4 for extra mods that you could potentially lose by dropping Predator. The only big loss is the snap shot. That will generate the OpsSpec focus more than anything else. Maybe just Attanni the other 2.

Fearlessness on Fenn Rau is having him sign a suicide pact. Nothing about his ability forces him to be in arc, so outside of arc, not getting shot, at range 1, is exactly where Fenn Rau should aim to be.

Old Teroch, on the other hand...

Its refreshing to see a non-Attanni squad of scummers every now and then. Furthermore, the Zuckuss Snap Shot/Operations Specialist is sort of presented as the core combo being explored here.

Let us know how it flies, OP.

Is Zuckuss' PS going to screw with Snap Shot?? I wouldn't think an enemy pilot would fly a lower PS right at him. I guess it will be low enough to set up Aces
