The idea is to fly Wedge and Biggs in formation in order to capitalize on Biggs' 3 primary weapon dice quickly. Wedge makes him PS 9 for combat so focusing on the X-Wings is costly for my opponent. Sabine I like for the hyper mobility but I can always downgrade to Rex for his ability (also allowing him to shoot at PS 9 instead of Biggs). Then there is a Y-Wing stress hog for stressing opponents out.

If I drop down to Rex I could fly Wedge with R5-P9 to give him some regen but I'm not sure. This list has shown a lot of potential but I'd love to hear y'alls thoughts!

I would add the BTLA4 title to the Y wing but otherwise let us know how it goes.

It has been flying decently. Prockets are a BIG Achilles heel though as I found out last night. lol

And I have been mauling it over but I like having a 360 arc of fire. It's a much needed crutch.

I admit the 360 arc is a crutch but the double stress on a key target is too good to pass up. Give it a try.

Ooooooo I did not realize I could double stress with that.

It's nice, however, losing the 360 arc makes it difficult to keep your opponent in arc after the first pass. The stresshog can be very rewarding against aces, but it's definitely not easy to fly.
