Rebel Focus/TL Sharing.

By Sixter, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Focus/Action sharing was very powerful in 1.0, Attani Mindlink being a prime example.

So, being new to 2.0 like most people, that is the concept I want to start with in my list building.

I was mostly a Rebel/Scum player in 1.0 so I will start with Rebels:

Wedge/R3/S-Foils 55 pts

Garven/S-Foils 47 pts

Dutch/IonCannonTurret 48 pts

Kyle/MoldyCrow 50 pts

Kyle and Garven will pass focus tokens while Dutch provides target locks. Wedge is the heavy hitter of course (should have a focus/TL most of the time) and will be targeted by your opponent. Fly accordingly.

My idea is to split this 4 ship list into two pairs instead of a somewhat rigid 4-ship formation. Two of the ships are turreted (Y and Hwk) while two have the same dial (X-wings). So, by splitting them up like that you can use their flight characteristics to the fullest, while of course trying to focus on the same target when its time to engage. All the focus/TL sharing of this list is range 1-3 so you really dont have to fly a closer formation than necessary. I would pick the large rocks because I believe the list could be very flexible to fly in that 2-2 formation.
