First Tournament (Escalation): What To Expect

By Alekzanter, in X-Wing Squad Lists

In a few weeks I'll be participating in an Escalation tourney, 60/90/120/150, and I'm wonder what I should expect at each tier; do people usually start with a large/small, or a couple tricked out sneaky smalls, or what, and where does it tend to progress from there? Any input is appreciated.

For my part, I'll be starting with Captain Yoor (Lambda) with Tactical Jammer and "Redline" (TIE Punisher) with Lightweight Frame, Extra Munitions, and Cluster Missiles, and plan on keeping a tight formation as long as possible.

I'm off to an Escalation event next weekend (6th May - Wayland Games) and I'lll be taking the following

My list -

60pts (60 spent)

Fenn Rau (Protectorate Starfighter) - Autothrusters , Concord Dawn Title - 31

Kavil (Y-Wing) - Ion Cannon Turret, Adaptability - 29

90pts (89 spent)

Fenn Rau (Protectorate Starfighter) - Autothrusters , Concord Dawn Title, Attanni Mindlink - 32

Kavil (Y-Wing) - Ion Cannon Turret, Adaptability - 29

Old Teroch (Protectorate Starfighter) - Concord Dawn Title, Attanni Mindlink - 28pts

120pts (120 spent)

Fenn Rau (Protectorate Starfighter) - Autothrusters , Concord Dawn Title, Attanni Mindlink - 32

Kavil (Y-Wing) - Ion Cannon Turret, Adaptability - 29

Old Teroch (Protectorate Starfighter) - Concord Dawn Title, Attanni Mindlink - 28pts

Guri (Starviper) Attani Mindlink - 31pts

150pts (150pts)

Fenn Rau (Protectorate Starfighter) - Autothrusters , Concord Dawn Title, Attanni Mindlink - 32

Kavil (Y-Wing) - Ion Cannon Turret, Adaptability - 29

Old Teroch (Protectorate Starfighter) - Concord Dawn Title, Attanni Mindlink - 28pts

Guri (Starviper) Attani Mindlink, Virago Title, Fire Control System, Autothrusters - 36pts

Syndicate Thug (Y-Wing) Twin Laser Turret, Unhinged Astromech - 25pts

My main aim in the first round or two will be to ion one ship and quickly take it down with Fenn, hopefully getting behind it, so it can't return fire..

As the points increase, I then start to include more EPT's to keep my ships efficient and hard hitting..

Knowing me though, I'll fly off the board by mistake..
