Wedge "The Destroyer of Fun" Antilles

By wurms, in X-Wing

Messing around in 2.0 and trying to have fun, but Wedge has other plans. Dude just wants to win.

Combo = Wedge damages enemy, Thane fires and flips damage cards.

Reality =

Thane is like:

But Wedge is all serious like:

Wedge fires first at enemy:

Thane is like:

I flew this list last night, and although I won, Wedge ruined all the fun. Thane only flipped one damage card all game.

So, what you're saying is that Wedge, the hero of the Alliance, survivor of two Death Star assaults is... good?

Excellent.

Wedge has always hit really hard, but his disadvantage has also always been how easy he is to kill. I still think he is pretty easy to kill.

Hes like soontir. Something you dont want to ignore but if you look at him with a couple of ships he just disappears.

Good Wedge, good awings, and good bwings are the main thing i want from the rebel faction. Curious to see if people come up with anything with those that works.

Green dice = anti-fun

Wedge = anti-green dice

anti-anti-fun = fun

Sometimes I wonder why 2.0 didn't give defense dice a 9 sided die with 3 of each face. 2/3rd of the time defence rolls would work every time.

Is it even physically possible to have a 9-sided die with equal sides? I think you’d have to go up to 12-sides with 4 of each symbol or down to 6 with 2 of each.

Wedge is exactly what I want to fight. A excellent ability on init 6 on great chassis. Too bad there is only one of him, he his my kind of scum.

Wedge is severely undercosted. If you fly rebels, he is absolutely the first pilot you add to your squad.

You fit all that in?!?!?? Holy Moley! That is nasty and I love it.

Great list

I run Thane and Wedge with intimidation Arvel. :)

I built a list with Thane, Wedge and Corran that I can’t wait to get on the table. I’ve been Wedge player since I started playing X-Wing and it’s nice to get him on the table again and be competitive

Hmm. Tough to say. Probably not, is my inclination. However, the d10 is the tricky case, as it's not a regular polyhedron.

We're going to build a 9-sided die. It's going to be beautiful. Trust me.

Don't keep this all to yourself now....

I'm thinking Instinctive Aim Luke and Predator Wedge, each with Torps and Munitions, and Kyle with Moldy Crow and Perceptive Co-Pilot. Might be good.

Not to be the killjoy, but can't you just use a d6?
