Thunderbirds Are Go! (Two Falcons, Six Actions)

By SOTL, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I've had this squad sat in my squadbuilder app for AGES but maybe in the age of Captain Nym it's actually worth digging out, because two fat tough turrets should be a good match for the captain.

  • Lando Calrissian - Push The Limit, Nien Nunb, Kyle Katarn, Millenium Falcon (Evade) (52)
  • Chewbacca - Veteran Instincts, Jan Ors, Recon Specialist (48)

Assuming Lando can stick close to his furry friend both ships get TL/Focus/Evade every turn.

It's awesome to fly, a lot of fun. I did well against any lower or average PS. The issue became high PS ships. We would go back and forth trading blows, and them being the higher PS, it just eventually takes it.

Instead of VI, I like DTF on Chewie, which spreads the damage a little, makes it fun.

Try it though, you'll enjoy it, I would just keep the expectations low in competitive.

I agree with the imp. DTF on Chewie is big if you're flying dual falcons. Although, I think you can be competitive. It requires some great flying. But DTF Chewie can help spread damage between the ships, and if you can keep them both alive, the dual turrets with full mods can put the hurt on. Especially against alot of the 1 evade ships out there. You're biggest concern would be aces like Fenn.

Absolutely. I used it at a SC recently. I had bad luck drawing mindlink lists. So my modified shots weren't getting through with all of the tokens and AT. I won both non-paratanni matches, but lost the mindlinked matches. Not saying I'm the best player by any means either.

i fly this squad in store tournaments, and give me good result I lose against a TLT ghost, cuz a really REALLY terrible dices even whit TL and focus, all blanks
