Anyone think this list has legs? Benthic leads off, passes a spare focus to Edrio, who gets 3 actions (effectively), followed by Garven's focus and Dutch's TL, both of which get passed to others if we're close. That's 4 ships with 3 red dice (and one with torps!) and decent health, all looking very well-modded. Now I just need to practice flying it.

Garven Dreis (X-Wing) (47)
Servomotor S-Foils (0)

"Dutch" Vander (39)
Proton Torpedoes (12)

Edrio Two Tubes (45)
Servomotor S-Foils (0)

Benthic Two Tubes (47)
Perceptive Copilot (8)
Leia Organa (2)
Pivot Wing (0)

Total: 200

3 caveats:

1. Edrio's 2nd and 3rd action are TL and a relocation, both of which can be unimpressive at INI 2.

2. Dutch is great, but again, you're Target Locking at INI 4.
3. Garven actually needs to roll a focus result to pass the focus. I played him recently, be prepared for it to work in 50% of the cases.

You have to be prepared that some of your tricks won't work, especially in the first engagement.

The goal was to get 4 ships into the list and get a bunch of free actions, so initiative suffers. Edrio's TL isn't so bad because it adds to the attack power.

On Dutch, maybe he's better in this list with VTG and ion turret. That saves 2 points and keeps him closer to the action. For Garven, yes, it's not 100%, but after getting the action freebies in there (benthic, edrio, dutch), there's not much left with the points. He fits the theme, though.

I plan to fly Benthic, Edrio, Dutch, and a Partisan Renegade. Its true that the lower I makes TLs harder to come by - but if you pace yourself right with the approach, you should be able to get one in the 1st round of combat, and then it'll be no problem

Have played with what I've called "Efficiency Salad" Rebel Squadron on a recent FLGS Hyperspace League - to some moderate success. I am wondering though if moving towards a more sum-of-strong-pieces approach wouldn't be profitable, as the original list struggles to close up the game due to a lack of endgame pieces. Which variation of this XXYU would you pick for a tournament?
