Control Ys and Wookies

By MediumPotato, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Was toying around with BTL-A4 and FAA, and put together this control list I'm thinking of running at a tournament this weekend where wave 12/13 is legal. What do you all think? Is putting Ion turret on Ys an ok sacrifice over TLTs if it means I can fit these two tactician Auzitucks?

Kashyyyk Defender — Auzituck Gunship 24
Tactician 2
Courier Droid 0
Kashyyyk Defender — Auzituck Gunship 24
Tactician 2
Courier Droid 0
Gold Squadron Pilot — Y-Wing 18
Ion Cannon Turret 5
Flight-Assist Astromech 1
BTL-A4 Y-Wing 0
Gold Squadron Pilot — Y-Wing 18
Ion Cannon Turret 5
Flight-Assist Astromech 1
BTL-A4 Y-Wing 0

I'm also thinking I may need to run these in pairs and not necessarily in a 4x formation to spread arcs and deny lanes to skirt by the whole group.

Tell me if I'm crazy. I'm just still not sold on Ion Ys even if they can barrel roll or boost to open up their options.

This is an insane amount of control, but with such minimal offense, I don't know how effective it would be

Only one way to find out how effective it would be and that's give it a try.
