Help with Kanan Wookies

By Rat of Vengence, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi all, I know I'm behind the curve a bit, but I haven't had a lot of time for games lately. I've got this list that I have used a few times, and a tournament coming up soon. I'm not going to have much time for more games, so I thought I'd ask the brains trust here what you think.

First question; how badly are harpoons going to do me over with this list? I haven't played against them yet.

Second question; what can I do about it :P

I'm pretty keen to go with these ships, but open to ideas. I don't want to just netlist it.

Cheers,

RoV

Kanan Jarrus — VCX-100
Fire-Control System
Twin Laser Turret
Rey
Recon Specialist
Tactical Jammer
Ghost
"Zeb" Orrelios — Attack Shuttle
"Chopper"
Phantom
Lowhhrick — Auzituck Gunship
Selflessness
Wookiee Commandos

The latest hotness is Kanan (or AN Other ghost pilot) with Fenn Rau and spend points on Engine upgrade so that you can boost into range 1 and out of arc of harpoons.

It is objectively better at negating damage than Lowhhrick and at getting the ghost ahead in the damage race.

Exactly, which is why I'm not running it :P I have nothing against anyone playing any list, but I personally don't jump to the latest net-list, I'd rather get the most out of a list I find fun :)

Any ideas for running this one?

This is still solid, but there is a reason everyone is wildly hyped about Kanan/Fenn. Your strategy would, ultimately, have to stay the same

Well, had the tournament on Saturday, and went quite well. 12 players, so 4 rounds no cut. I won the first 3 rounds, lost the last round on literally the last dice roll (needed ONE evade from 2 green dice on the shuttle).

Thoughts;

Tempted to run C3PO instead of Wookies going commando and tactical jammer, but still need 1 more point from somewhere...

The gunship makes a GREAT blocker to protect the Ghost when it's being chased.

Both being PS5 is VERY handy

I need more games as bumping my ships and landing on rocks possibly cost me the tournament :/

Good fun though :D
