Thinking this could be fun, 8 primary at range 2, then 12 ion shots. Am I crazy?

Veteran Turret Gunner (6)

“Dutch” Vander (39)

Veteran Turret Gunner (6)

Horton Salm (37)

Looks pretty good. The only change I would make is to give Dutch a R3 astromech. It synergies well with his ability and gives you some flexibility as to who your buddy gets the free target lock on. Do you want to concentrate fire (always a good idea), or do you want to ion and disable more enemies (also potentially good idea). Maybe, by spreading out fire, you can get 2 enemy ships trapped in ion maneuvers? Also, since Dutch has the turret, R4 is not as needed, IMO. I like having the flexibility R3 gives me more.

I’ve been toying with this for an upcoming Hyperspace tourney.

Having trouble deciding between three GSPs for a more optimized Saw or keeping Norra in to be the ace of the list.

i think a scum variant of this with vet turret gunners and ions could be really good. perhaps 2 Y wings and 2x scurgg bombers with a mix of dorsal turrets and ion cannons.

i love how the Y -Wing is now coming into its own. hoping its gets a rerelease for scum so it can be put into hyperspace lists.

Dropping the hull upgrades allows that with 1 point left over. Could put Crack or Marks on Drea if you want.

Drea Double Tap

something like this ^

if you downgrade one or two ion cannons to dorsal turret you can fit hull upgrade on Drea.

4/2/2/1 initiative for movement and firing is a bit all over the place. I think id maybe upgrade the Goon to a Hired gun to get an even 4/2/2/2. Makes it easier for movement when flying formation too.

Just to follow up on this, I've decided t drop Tactical Officer and add Selfless on Saw.

If you drop your Ys to Gray Squadrons, you can get Proton Bombs and even a shield upgrade to boot.

Gray Squadron Bomber

Ion Cannon Turret
Veteran Turret Gunner
Proton Bombs
Shield Upgrade

Points: 50

Joust that

I like this hyperspace legal list:

Chewbacca (73)
Lando Calrissian (2)
Leia Organa (2)

Gray Squadron Bomber (31)
Ion Cannon Turret (4)
Veteran Turret Gunner (6)

Total: 200

Joust with the Y's and then kite with Chewie. Leia really opens up the Y-wing dial. Lots of hitpoints and lots of red dice heading your opponents way.

YYYY Ion?
