First Tournament squad advice

By Ccwebb, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I've been playing casual and collecting for a few waves now. I am finally entering my first tournament this coming weekend!!

It is a really interesting format.; draft. Must bring at least 2 ships with max 60 points. Each round you will draft from a line up of store provided list. It will range from 25-35 points. No Biggs; drafting cross faction is allowed; no repeating uniques. (Ie: no double Dengar).

Being a rebel fan, I am debating between Snap and Jake with a gray-Y wing with TLT. Here is the list:

-"Snap" Wexley (33) - T-70 X-Wing
Veteran Instincts (1), BB-8 (2), Autothrusters (2)

OR

-Jake Farrell (33) - A-Wing
Push The Limit (3), Cruise Missiles (3), A-Wing Test Pilot (0), Autothrusters (2), Veteran Instincts (1)

with,

-Gray Squadron Pilot (27) - Y-Wing
Twin Laser Turret (6), R2-D6 (1), Trick Shot (0)

My idea is using the Y-wing to snip through as many rocks as possible while Jake/Snap move to flank. Which lever ship I draft can be either a blocker or big hitter.

Thoughts on Snap vs Jake? Another suggestion?

Thank you!

Firstly, that sounds fun! Best of luck with it :)

Out of those choices, I'd go with Snap. What's your thinking on Jake + PtL? You get some action economy with him from his pilot ability, what other action do you plan on taking?

Out of curiosity, why did you go with Gray Squadron Pilot over Gold Squadron Pilot? You could use those 2 points to put Pattern Analyzer on Snap for instance.

I like the TLT plus Trick Shot combination!

Doh - because you can't take R2-D6 with gold squadron pilot! ;)

I am leaning towards Snap. Practicing earlier and those 2 red dice from Jake just doesn't do much. (BTW- Jake/PTL was to get focus/boost or br and evade every round.)
