Is this dumb

By Browncoat50, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Captain Nym: havoc, Wired, EM, Cluster Mine (x2), R4B11, TLT , minefield mapper - 50

Emon Azzameen: Slave 1, Countermeasures, Mangler Cannon, seismic torpedo, Cad Bane, Bomblet Generator - 50

My idea was to litter the field with cluster mines and then have Emon throwing bomblet tokens left and right, while being able to blow up rocks and deal critical hits from his cannon. Then nym can float around and hit people with TLT shots.

Is this viable or is a large base ship a bad idea to bring to a minefield? Maybe proximity mines instead?

I think it could be viable. It's one of those things that could be great or be horrible depending on how you fly. I am wondering if seismic torp is a good idea. You probably want more obstacles in this type of build, not less.

I also personally like VI or lone wolf on Nym. Moving last and attacking first is perfect for him. Lone wolf makes him more offensive and defensive. Wired will work on occasion, but how often are you going to be stressed?

We still dont have a clear interaction between em and mapper, but otherwise it sounds solid. Just be careful you dont get outflown into your own mines
