First empirelist for Tournament

By Muppetfluffer, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Usually playing Scum, but Considering this for saturdays tournamnet. Any thoughts?

(99)

Darth Vader (31) - TIE Advanced
Veteran Instincts (1), TIE/x1 (0), Advanced Targeting Computer (5)

Colonel Vessery (36) - TIE Defender
Swarm Leader (3), TIE/x7 (-2)

Countess Ryad (32) - TIE Defender
Adaptability (0), TIE/x7 (-2)

Well, I'm not much of a fan of Swarm Leader on anything though it's not that bad here.

I'd drop Swarm Leader to put Push The Limit on Ryad, A Score To Settle on Vessery.

Ryad with plt and mk2 engines is your best bet. Score to settle, while i have never seen, seems great synery with vessery. Could drop vi on vader and use adaptability to save a pnt

I was thinking PS11 due to Ps10 nym/Dash and Horton, wes, Kraken. So I got someone that can evade the stuff they produce.

would Love to get an Ion-cannon in there to counter bomblets, Scurgs and Cruisingmissles...but the price is squishyness!!!

maybe I should just go back to the drawingtable :)

VI on Vader is fine, with all her greens Ryad doesn't need the MkII engines. Vessery could use them, if you had the point spare.

Ryad with PTL gets Focus/Evade/TL and then Vessery can pick up her TL to also have Focus/Evade/TL. Without PTL Vessery's TL is tied into Vader and it's a more tenuous link - you really want two things feeding Vessery the locks, but without PTL Ryad cant do it and keep focus.

I faced a similar squad, but Vader was dropped for Omega Leader to make room for Juke + TIE Mk. II on Ryad. Swarm Leader was used once, obliterating one of my ships, but I capitalized on that to put some damage on Ryad. He didn't have an opportunity to use it the rest of the game. I'm not such a fan of it, either. I like SOTL's suggestion above.

I would change the list to:

Darth Vader (30) - TIE Advanced
Adaptability (0), TIE/x1 (0), Advanced Targeting Computer (5)

Colonel Vessery (34) - TIE Defender
Veteran Instincts (1), TIE/x7 (-2)

Countess Ryad (36) - TIE Defender
PTL (3), Twin Ion Engine (1), TIE/x7 (-2)
