Was messing around with Resistance Bombers

By DarmanSkir, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Sorry if anyone has done this already, I've been off the forum and disconnected from X-wing for a while, but was just recently messing around in YASB and came up with this LOL list.

Crimson Squadron Pilot — B/SF-17 Bomber 25
Minefield Mapper 0
Cluster Mines 4
Ordnance Silos 2
Crossfire Formation 2
Ship Total: 33

Drops 36 bomb tokens before the game even starts, then stalls for time and hopes the opponent runs over a few on the way over to your side of the board, then focus fire to bring down any scragglers. Super heavy on control, probably want to bring the largest rocks as well, so you can really direct the opponents ships where you want them

Really just a fun list, have no idea what the meta is like and if this would succeed in it.

Potential formation if opponent deploys in corner. (Obviously wouldn't happen if your opponent was paying attention to your list at all, but I thought it would look funny)

You can only drop one set of mine tokens per ship with minefield mapper. Recent FAQ clarified.

Slight correction: one set of mine tokens per mine upgrade card equipped. So two Cluster Mine cards = two sets, but one Cluster Mine card +EM or Silos = one set.

Per recent FAQ and simply reading the card

Anyway, it's an obvious gimmick and the res bomber is otherwise exceptionally poor at actually bombing with mines

Now what you could do is MM Cobalt leader, but then you don't get AC for his turret

With any luck, we'll get what the res bomber should've gotten given its garbage dial and clunky large base (ie a bomber only tech that farts ACTION bombs out of the front pegs, to contrast trajectory simulator)

Alternatively, you can go for Mondo jank using rebel nym with EI (optinal MM) and clusters (flew debris gambit Sol with EI, action bombs and TLT. Surprisingly not bad at all with AC modding TLT or when rolling in to drop mines)

You can also use rebel Nym ability to keep him or Cobalt leader from blowing up your own mines

Be like Cobalt with Clusters and silos (liter them across the map), AC, and a bump mod (apl or projectors) and Captain Nym with Debris Gambit, EI, MM, extra munis, double clusters, the droid that lets you bomb while stessed, and TLT

Or MM Cobalt (only 1 cluster, though) with advanced optics for mods

Noooooo! Why ffg?! FAQ'ing out my fun... whatever, wasn't super interested, was mostly a joke list. Still, if it hadn't been FAQ'ed...

Do agree, definitely a gimmick though.

It was not errated, if that's what you were implying

In Xwing, you get one trigger per opportunity

That means MM triggers once per discardable bomb upgrade

So you NEVER could discard, then discard EM tokens, then discard again
