New blog post is up, detailing the single game I played yesterday night. Bit of a shorter one this time, but it was with my old 4 X-Wing list, re-tooled a little big by swapping a couple upgrades around. I played against a super-janky rebel list, full of bombs and hull and turrets. It was a pretty good game!
[BLOG] Red Squadron's Return
I wonder how it'd work to swap the Red Squadron for Gold Squadron Veterans with Proton Torpedoes. A bit more potential for spike damage, but less consistent damage.
Nothing else in the list would need to change--same droids, same Selfless. Or change the droids some... drop R4 from Biggs, and put a pair of R3s on the Y-Wings...
I know some folks have had success with low-Init Y-Wings with Torpedoes, but they seem harder to use. And with the Selfless aspects of the list and wanting to keep the ships close together, consistent X-Wings are probably better in this variant.
Fantastic blog post! Really appreciate the inclusion of photographs.
Cheers!
I ran a modified version last weekend that swapped a red for Thane (completely breaking the theme...) Maybe I can try to slot in some Y-wings the next time I fly Rebels, though that may be a while. I like the chassis, but none of the pilots have leapt out as useful to me yet.
