Had some success with this last week and wanted to give it another go with some pro-tips from you lot.

It was my first real foray into the world of E Wings and I was impressed with what a pack of 3 with Toryn Farr Could do. Unless you've really ticked off the dice gods, you stand a good chance of wiping out any Squad unit you want on a given turn.

A couple of things I'm still looking at:

Dash or Corran?

I don't get what's your goal.

You have no heavy hitters, the Pelta is slow to consider it a warship and you have only red and an occasional blue dice for bombing. Reduce the E-Wings into X-Wins and drop Ketsu. Bring Y-Wings as many as you can instead, red bomber dices are just not good enough.

The goal is to mess with squadrons in our squad heavy meta. E wings to take out who they want and the Biggs/Ketsu combo to tar pit.

The downside, as you've said, is a lack of punch from the cap ships.

I've won with it twice against some conventional fleets, but not by a huge margin, so... probably not competitive, but a fun anti-squad list.

I can see where you're going with Biggs + YT-1300, but that seems counter-intuitive with Jamming Field. One of the big differences, between the YT and the X-Wing, is that Counter 1.... Which you're ignoring, basically... An X-Wing in that situation still shoots with 3 Blues...

So yes, its more the Jamming Field that gets me... In this list... a Jamming Field Y (or B) list with Intel and the desire to ignore the crap out of the fighter game and just bomb... That I see Jamming field in...

(Considering the Jamming Field Errata, anyway)

I think Jamming Field is a lark, really. With the idea being a miserable morass of Biggs and the obstruction from JF and whether or not that holds them longer than non-JF.

Maybe I just really want to build a 500 pt list, because this one wants Admo and a couple of more... B Wings.

Also, I was surprised how effective the Pelta was at projecting a tandem forward threat with the Guppy.

Not the best, but enough to maybe get lucky with a raider or CR90 that strays too close.
