Rebel Madness

By ShawnRBrown, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Just a fun to fly list, it did okay but I wanted to swap a few things out that didn't work and now I have 3 extra points I can't figure out how to best use. Any advice would be welcome.

Try targeting astromechs on the Rookies?

Maybe thread tracers on the Tala?

I like that you have 5 ships, but I'd recommend a different astromech on the Y. There are just not enough greens on its dial for R2-D2.

Maybe a simple R2? That gives you 3 points to spend elsewhere.

You can forget R2 on Y-wing and go up for 2 a wing or 2 T-70 i think !

That's what I thought too, then the match came down to my GSP vs Palob both with 1 hull. I cheesed a very close bank 3 just about flying off the board, but enough to have Palob not able to make the turn and catch me, that kept me out of TLT range for 3 rounds while he turned around and I rebuilt my 3 shields, turned back towards him and TLT'd him off the board. I ended up with 1 hull 2 shields. Very situational for sure and I did spend half the game crying about the wasted R2-D2 points and the Y-Wings crap dial. So I agree mostly, but it did actually work out that match.
