Trying to figure out Rebel lists for Adepticon.

By WalrusofDoom, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Trying to figure out something Rebel to fly at Adepticon. I haven't really flown Rebels at all during my X-Wing career, so I figured I would for something different. Not sure really what is good right now. I have a Han/Wedge list I have been playing around with for both hyperspace and extended., but I'm not sure how good 2 ships is going to be. Otherwise I've been playing around with a couple of proton torp E-wings with a third ship. Any other ideas would be great.

The Han/Wedge list is as follows

Han Solo — Modified YT-1300 Light Freighter 82
Trick Shot 2
Leia Organa 2
R2-D2 (Crew) 8
Engine Upgrade 7
Millennium Falcon 6
Rigged Cargo Chute 4
Ship Total: 111
Half Points: 56 Threshold: 7
Wedge Antilles — T-65 X-Wing 52
Outmaneuver 6
Proton Torpedoes 12
R2 Astromech 4
Afterburners 6
Servomotor S-foils 0
Ship Total: 80
Half Points: 40 Threshold: 3

This list you show is ok.

However 2 ships lists will always have issues, and this is no exception.

If I wanted to fly it, I would try to fit an RZ1 A-wing (Arvel!), something like:

Han Solo — Modified YT-1300 Light Freighter 82
Hotshot Gunner 7
Lando Calrissian 2
R2-D2 (Crew) 8
Millennium Falcon 6
Ship Total: 105
Half Points: 53
Threshold: 7

Wedge Antilles — T-65 X-Wing 52
Afterburners 6
Servomotor S-foils 0
Ship Total: 58
Half Points: 29
Threshold: 3


Arvel Crynyd — RZ-1 A-Wing 34
Intimidation 3
Ship Total: 37
Half Points: 19
Threshold: 2

With Han you will try to get Value from Lando crew with the reroll, and use Hotshot Gunner to soften up the target for Wedge. Bonus points if you manage to use Arvel's Intimidation on the same target.

However I'm partial to having Lando as the Falcon pilot, I would suggest this:

Lando Calrissian — Modified YT-1300 Light Freighter 80

Trick Shot 2

Bistan 14

Perceptive Copilot 8

Nien Nunb 5

Ship Total: 109

Half Points: 55 Threshold: 7

“Dutch” Vander — BTL-A4 Y-Wing 39

Trick Shot 2

Proton Torpedoes 12

Ship Total: 53

Half Points: 27 Threshold: 4

Arvel Crynyd — RZ-1 A-Wing 34

Intimidation 3

Ship Total: 37

Half Points: 19 Threshold: 2

Lando is a beast. With Dutch you take Focus, Lando coordinates a Target Lock and gets one himself then double focus. Also Lando on his own can double tap 2 different ships. You don't need Engine Upgrade with Lando, as long as you leave the Red boost to the normal action.

Arvel is a cheap ship which can be very very annoying, and also game changing. Do not underestimate the little RZ1.

2 ships is very fragile, and becomes WAY more so when Wedge is one of your ships. I like the double Es more

Agreed. I think competitive lists these days need at least three ships.

Luckily, Wedge and Han are generally fine without many upgrades. A friend of mine has had some success with Luke / Wedge / Han, with the only upgrade being Leia on Han. You should also have points for a Trick Shot on Han. Granted, this leaves you with no bid, but he said it's a fun list that's decent on the tabletop.

Try Han, Wedge, Thane. You have some room for upgrades and the three ships hit very hard (with Thane shooting last).

Han Solo (82)
Trick Shot (2)
Leia Organa (2)
R2-D2 (Crew) (8)

Wedge Antilles (52)
Predator (2)
Servomotor S-foils (0)

Thane Kyrell (48)
Predator (2)
Servomotor S-foils (0)

Total: 198

You can also try hotshot gunner instead of r2d2 on Han for max damage from the X wings.

I do like R2 crew on Han for the increased tankiness. A friend of mine also runs Stealth Device on it for three defense dice when obstructed. You could strip predator from Thane and Wedge, add Stealth Device and still have a 2 point bid.

This, but Lando instead of Leia/TS!

You should definitely be trying to fit 2 T-65s in there. I've been doing well with this list in initial testing. The T-65s soak up a ton of damage before they die thanks to Biggs/Sefless while Han flanks and cleans up in the end game. Agile gunner has been really good in testing, allowing Han to switch gears without giving up those precious focus, boost and cargo chute actions, even while he's stressed.

As far as the Falcon goes, I'm probably going to save that for the hyperspace side events this time since I don't have a ton of practice with it. As for the double E-wing lists I have I have these as the base. Upgrades could vary, but the idea is two proton torp E-wings with a third ship.

Rogue Squadron Escort — E-Wing 56

Es with R3 > Es with R4 imho

I find it's a tough choice on the astros for the e-wings. R3s allow you to change targets easily while the r4s give them one of the best dials in the game.

why Lando? I tried it, but wasn't satisfied. More often than not you only get evades. Focuses are rare and they are the ones i need more in order to maximize han's attack. Leia at 2 points is op. White k-turns and tallon rolls (even if only once in 3 turns) really can make the difference in the dogfight. And putting her on a big ship that will move on the side of the board will make her more valuable, cause she's probably going to last longer.

Also i see that predator might not be the best choice, and you'll probably be better with R3s on the X wings, but i gave them predator to save a couple points.

If you like Han and Wedge I would try this: double shot Han with potentially double mods, a pair of Xs with Wedge's fire power and everyone has initiative 6.

Been using Wedge: Proton Torps, Servomotor,R2: Corran: R2, Proton Torps: Thane. 198/200. Have had some success.
