Three As and a Big Baby

By underling, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I wanted to post this build, because after about ten plays it's proving to be an absolute blast to play.

VCX-100 Lothal w/ FCS, Autoblaster Turret, Hera, Chopper, 40 pts

A-Wing Green w/ A-Wing Test Pilot, Chardaan Refit, Snap Shot, Crack Shot, 20 pts

A-Wing Green w/ A-Wing Test Pilot, Chardaan Refit, Snap Shot, Crack Shot, 20 pts

A-Wing Green w/ A-Wing Test Pilot, Chardaan Refit, Snap Shot, Crack Shot, 20 pts

The VCX could be tweaked to flavor, but the basic idea is three 20 point As and a 40 point VCX.

This is basically a mod of the five A-Wing Snap/Crack build. I like running that one also, but I started looking for something potentially a little more tanky, while still keeping the flavor of the five As.

For game play, I've been running the As in a pack, with the VCX starting on the opposite side of the board. The theory is that your opponent will have to concentrate on either the VCX or the pack of As. Whichever one (VCX or A-pack) is not targeted then flanks. I also have not been directly jousting. The interesting thing is that each one can present a problem if left unchecked. This build has proven to be fairly resilient, and as I've already said, a blast to play.

This is definitely Rebel Thunder Approved. :)

Honestly I don't think you could tweak it any and maintain effectiveness. I don't know how much effectiveness that it, though, without seeing it on the board.

The only possible thing I could think of would be to replace the Crack Shots on the A-Wings and Chopper with Operations Specialist and Trick Shots for the A-Wings. This would toss out loads of free focus tokens, but I can't say for sure that it'd be better than just going Crack Shot. It'd probably have to be flown differently, too.

This exact list is in my bag.

Well, 2x Trick Shot, 1x A Score To Settle
