Could Sabine Lead The Rebellion?

By xwingMinty, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi peeps,

just trying to come up with a couple of lists that include Sabine in the Attack Shuttle, how do you like the idea of these:

1.1

(38) Sabine Wren (Attack Shuttle)
(2) Debris Gambit
(5) Nien Nunb
(6) Ion Cannon Turret
Points 51

(48) Kullbee Sperado
(0) Servomotor S-foils
(2) R4 Astromech
(8) Afterburners
(2) Predator
Points 60

(74) Corran Horn
(3) Fire-Control System
(3) R3 Astromech
(2) Predator
Points 82

Total points: 193

or...

1.2

(38) Sabine Wren (Attack Shuttle)
(4) Juke
(6) Ion Cannon Turret
(5) Nien Nunb
Points 53

(52) Wedge Antilles
(0) Servomotor S-foils
(3) Swarm Tactics
(6) R2 Astromech
(6) Shield Upgrade
Points 67

(62) Luke Skywalker
(0) Servomotor S-foils
(8) R2-D2
Points 70

Total points: 190

Does either of those look viable, or are there any changes you would make?

thanks for any views either way.

Just from my experience I prefer r3-Astro on Luke (torpedo optional). It really opens up his attack potential and his action eceonomy, and lets you be super defensive and offensive at the same time. My only thing to remind you with Sabine is that debris gambit does not turn the barrel roll-evade linked action white. You take the stress to perform the red evade action (so you can still do a pre manuver barrel roll evade so long as you do a green to clear it and then take a focus) not perform a red evade action turned white by debris gambit.

Other than that they both look pretty good. Solid lists!

Thanks for that.

ah I've had others tell me that Debris Gambit works on a 'linked' Red Eva, I'll have to look into that more. Although that's part of the reason to have Nunb on board to open up her blues.

Thanks for the thoughts.

Yeah I thought debris gambit works and I've heard either way but im pretty sure you take the stress beforehand (like PTL in 1.0)

Also make sure to be careful with the E-Wing. It's very good at offense, but will still get shot to pieces just like 1.0.

Ha yeah, don't I know it ?

*When you're planning on using the E-Wing to new effect in 2.0 and Gavin gets murdered because PTL token stacking isn't a thing and three dice are just as sketchy as they were before*

looks like Gambit does work with the linked action.

Well sweet! That makes it a lot easier and actually useful! Thanks!
