Hello Community,

I plan to run this list for my upcoming league. Any insights, strengths or weaknesses? Do you think its fun to fly or is there any other improvements you would make? Lets hear it. Thanks!

6 -Wedge Antilles / T-65 X-Wing (52): Trick Shot (1); R4 Astromech (2); Proton Torpedoes (9); Servo-motor S-Foils (0) = 64 points

4 -"Dutch" Vander / Y-Wing (42): Expert Handling (2); Ion Cannon Turret (6); Proton Torpedoes (9); R3 Astromech (3); Veteran Turret Gunner (8) = 70 points

4 -Ten Numb / B-Wing (50): Squad Leader (4); Heavy Laser Cannon (4); Advance Sensors (8) = 66 points

Total = 200 points

I want to use Ten Numb with Squad Leader (which provides stress to Ten) to provide a Target Lock for "Dutch", allowing him to get 2 Target Locks with R3 and then give a Target Lock to Wedge. "Dutch" then can get a focus on his regular action (or Barrell Roll if necessary) to get a more accurate shot with Proton Torpedoes or his double shot. I will try in my best ability to keep the turrets forward to so he can do his double shot from Veteran Turret Gunner. Wedge would then also do a focus action on his turn to maximize his Proton Torpedoes also. So that's the theory, will put down tonight to see if it holds up but any feedback would be nice. Thanks!

Looks promising! I’m really trying to get Rebels to work, too, so be sure to let us know how this works for you.

I’ve been having some luck with my Toob Noobs , which doesn’t have nearly as much action economy of your list.

Maybe look to drop some something to get a bid for Wedge. HLC and/or R4?

Yes, I'll give a update later tonight or tomorrow morning. Hopefully try to get in 2-3 games tonight.

Your Dutch I feel is trying to take on two different roles. I would drop either the torpedos or the gunner and upgrade wedge to outmaneuver. Alternatively if you want to keep double tap and torps you could drop the torps to ion, ion turret to dorsal and upgrade wedge to outmaneuver.

Update

So in my league that night I was 2-1. Played against a Redline, Whisper and Jonas build. My alpha strike was able to weaken Redline to 1 hull and eventually destroying him on the next engagement. Dutch was hanging on a thread as he was the focus of all attacks in the beginning. Jonas was next to go down also with my B-Wing. It was a dog fight now with Whisper and Wedge but with the higher initiative I was able to win. We decided to run the game again and this time he was prepared. Took down Dutch before he could even fire and then everything went down hill for me. All my dice went cold and I was chipped away by Vader crew on the Phantom at every round. (1-1).

Next game was against Fenn, and 2 Kimogilas. Alpha strike was able to destroy one of the Kimogilas and leaving Dutch with 1 hull. Again Dutch was the primary target. Was able to get a last double tap shot before Dutch went down to weaken the other Kimogila. Wedge sent a final blow to the Kimogila. So near the end I had full health Wedge and half damage Ten versus 1 damage Fenn. We danced around the board a bit trying to get good position. He ended up in range one of my B-Wing with a Advance Proton Torpedo shot, easily destroyed my B-Wing. So it was Wedge versus Fenn, awesome battle of aces. We ended up facing each other and the dice Gods were on my side...we could have gone to final salvo but Fenn was only able to get Wedge down to 2 hull while Wedges attack (focus and Target Lock) was able to destroy him. That was the best game of the night for me.

Final thoughts? I like the list, can I make any changes? Yes but I think I will try again this week with the same list and see if I need to make any updates, so far I am really enjoying the games I have.

I just gave up and used some torp Y's with upgradeless aces.
