Hey! I have my first ever tournament coming up this weekend, I was planning on running this. Thoughts?

KESTRAL SQUADRON

100 points

PILOTS

Rookie Pilot (21) x 2

Ahsoka Tano (25)
Sabine's TIE Fighter (17), Veteran Instincts (1), Sabine's Masterpiece (1), Captured TIE (1), EMP Device (2), Recon Specialist (3)

Thane Kyrell (33)
ARC-170 (26), R2-D6 (1), Flechette Torpedoes (2), Tail Gunner (2), Alliance Overhaul (0), Vectored Thrusters (2), Trick Shot (0)

Edit:Also, thoughts on switching Tail Gunner for Jan Ors? I figure the extra evade tokens could help.

Rookie pilot without IR is next to worthless. Your losing two points each so your at a 4 point total deficit. If you still want to run something naked take some Chardaan refit A's or Some Y wings with the in arc title.

id try something more like this

With Jan ors the A's take the focus and turn it to an evade to punch te damage through or just to evade. I had to drop recon specialist for Rey to save a point but it has much the same effect once you've saved up a few Focus. Ashoka is the same and since I didn't include an EPT for thane I cut the astromech which you weren't even using anyway for R2-D2, I would have included two PTL for the A-Wings but I didn't want to cut anything else for te extra 2 points. I also dumped the torpedoes for points.

Ashoka is the same and now when she uses her EMP it gives than a chance to do a green move (he doesn't have many ) and he doesn't need to be as maneuverable anyway because he has the aux arc.

obviously choices are limited by what you have in your collection and that's part of the problem solving of list building.

hope this helps

If you have Rey, I recommend her instead of Recon Specialist on Ahsoka. 1 point cheaper and you get to store tokens for later rounds when you might need Ahsoka to do more than focus.

Jyn Erso is good crew for Thane. It's an action, so you can use it with Thane's pilot ability. Jyn boosts offense, defense and with Ahsoka + Rey you can improve action efficiency too. With Jan Ors alone you're sacrificing offensive mods to maybe avoid one damage per round.

The Rookie Pilots could get better mobility and durability if you take the Flechette Torpedo off Thane. 2 points can make R2 Astro and Integrated Astromech on both your X-wings. Your X-wings should be able to push damage through early if you use Ahsoka to give them Focus + TL.

If you are interested in changing your ships, Green Squadron Pilots are a lot of fun. If you're going to run them like @Quadjumper King suggested, then at least take the Test Pilot title and Trick Shot. Free upgrades! Or drop the EMP device and give both Greens Crack Shot. With Juke and Crack shot, the A-wing's pathetic attack might actually do damage.

If it's your first tournament, don't worry about beinging one list to rule them all. Pick ships you can have fun with even if you're losing, and practice with your list before the tournament. Proficiency and smart gameplay will give you a better experience.

Thanks for the input guys!

Sadly, I am only gonna have 1 A-Wing. So the two X-Wings will have to do. I do have some R2 cards coming soon though.

Question though, on the ARC-170, if I use a focus action on Thane, can Jan Ors in his crew slot turn it into an evade?

And I went ahead and changed the recon specialist to Rey with Ahsoka, but my other question for that, is if I have Ahsoka choose to focus, recon specialist gives her two, and Jan Ors would go off giving Ahsoka up to two evade tokens? Or would it only effect one token?

Thanks again guys!

Jan Ors works on any friendly ship in range, including the ship she is on. If Thane does a Focus Action, Jan Ors may change the focus token to an Evade. If Ahsoka does a Focus Action with RecSpec, Jan Ors may change 1 token to an Evade token, giving you 1 focus token and 1 evade token. When a focus token stored on Rey is assigned to a ship, Jan Ors can change it to an Evade token. If Jyn Erso gives a ship any number of Focus token (max is 3) then Jan Ors can change 1 to an Evade token. The important detail is Jan Ors can only be used 1 time each round.

before you tell me, I am admittedly horrible at building rebel squads

to repeat, ask someone good before using this list.
