yes i know that luke has R3 and Aim but i want to max my chance to get best target lock proton action.

Swarm Tactic x2 gives engage 666shoot. This list has 12red dice in first shooting and good ships. If anyone have some thoughts please share. I want to prepare myself for really big event 150-200players.

It's funny how rebels were crying due to imperial alpha strike lists back in the last days of 1.0 .. and now they are the only faction with a ps6 alpha strike possible. ?

But it's not this list.

Try wedge, Airen Cracken, Dutch and a GSP.

U have list?

GSP?

Why this is bad - share your thoughts please ?

I don't like the Swarm Tactics. 6 points for something that rapidly loses relevance after the first engagement is a bit much, and it forces all ships in range 1 of each other. Instead you could give Dutch a turret and make him much more flexible.

Moreover, Swarm Tactics do not address the biggest issue of Dutch in an Alpha Strike squadron - the reliability of him and the buddy he's supposed to throw a Lock to on coming in Range 3 moving at I4. While unloading the Protons at I6 is indeed frightening, a skilled opponent is unlikely to let you target their Wedge/Luke/Fenn/Boba/Vader/Redline etc. The pilots that serve as powerhouse of their lists. The "Devil Rebels" build on this forum address that by throwing in Airen into the mix.

Grey Squadron Pilot, an Y-Wing generic.

Try out this one:

Wedge, SW and proton torps.

Dutch Vander, SW and Proton Torps

Airen Cracken, SW

Grey Squadron Pilot, Proton Torps.

Two full modded shots, all Ps6 blast.

so u think...this should be better? But hmm i think its easier to set 3 ships together rather than 4and no bump etc. Plus Xwing Kuke has ability, movement.

If you're going to abbreviate, you might want to be a little more careful to get it right.

When scanning your list, I thought you meant Green Squadron Pilot, as in the A-Wing generic.

It's actually Gray Squadron Bomber now in 2e, so it would be abbreviated GSB.

Drop instinctive aim on Luke. He is PS 5 He will get a target lock on the target he needs to shoot at. Use his force points to modify attack dice. With instinctive aim, your average attack roll is 3 hits with a target lock and the force it is 4

Decission issssss

best and the most flexible choice

Here’s my version, fly Wedge and Dutch together so both can shoot at I6. Luke gets his shot at I7 if necessary with R2D2 for regen.

The tubes can pass 1 of his focus after doing a focus action.

Depends a lot on which ones. Including abilities that go off in Range one, you want to fly them in a box, or a triangle, with a maneuver width distance at setup. If not, I'd disperse them over the whole edge and converge on target.
