UBYXA - the new rebel toolbox

By GreenDragoon, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Rebels have a lot of options at 41pt now. Basically any combination of the 41pt ships that are B-Wing, X-Wing, or Y-wing+ion+VTG can be thrown together.

But we also know that U-wings with Leia are great. Unfortunately they complicate things due to the higher cost. So I present the UBYXA squad, where basically every -wing ship legal to hyperspace is used:

Blue Squadron Scout (43)
Leia Organa (2)
Pivot Wing (0)

Blue Squadron Pilot (41)
Jamming Beam (0)

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

Blue Squadron Escort (41)
Servomotor S-Foils (0)

Phoenix Squadron Pilot (30)
Total: 198

View in Yet Another Squad Builder 2.0

The two remaining points can be used for likely a Tac Officer or an EPT on the blocking Awing, or an R4 astromech, or a bid.

Add tractor beam to the B-wing and i think you're in business !

Ah yes of course, that too is an option for the 2pts.

And in this case it might even be interesting due to the ion shot. Less agility means higer chance of ionizing, and conpletely removing the target after collective Kturns

"Leia! Get on this ship! We need you in the fight!"

"Who am I flying with? Wedge? Luke?"

"Errr...."

I’ve been wondering about this, my list has ubxxa, is the double Y stronger than a T-65? I honestly do not know! Also tractor beam on the B-wing

My opinion is that it is. control + 2 attacks is pretty tough. And the I2 X-wing is the same amount of points as the I2 Y-wing with ion cannon and veteran turret gunner. The upside to the X is that it is more maneuverable.
