A Different Three Ship Rebel

By thestggrwng, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I’ve been having fun with target priority lists that don’t give you a great first target to take out. So I came up with this list.

Lothal Rebel- Finn, Chopper, FCS

Chewbacca (OG)- Rage, Inspiring Recruit

Captain Rex

Chewbacca is great up close and hits hard. The lothal should be rolling 5 die target lock focus shots. Captain Rex doing his general annoyance. So far been solid in games. Biggest concern is not getting in your own way. Gotta make sure the lothal can clear the K turn to allow Chewbacca to turn in and keep taking range 1 shots. One thing I do like is with the PS war right now, generally all my ships can move first for optimum placement.

Looks simple but fun. Alpha strike lists could be a pain as with your low agility combined with low PS, they might put a real hurting on you before it's your turn to fire back.

I don't think an alpha strike list can do enough damage to drop 1 of the big hitters before it fires. If an alpha strike can't drop the ship, it is hard for it to deal with things up close.
