What are the good rebel lists?

By Blail Blerg, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I've heard of Rebel Beef, what is that? Or is it resistance beef?

High grade cow?

I don't know who coined the term, but the way I've heard it used Rebel Beef refers to high hit point squads with 4-5 ships. Usually centered around a u-wing with Leia crew.

Expect to see any of the u-wing pilots, Wedge, Biggs (and/or Red sqdr. vet with Selfless), the named b-wings, Norra or the generic y-wings (with or without Veteran Turret Gunner).

yeah rebel generics with leia crew is the basic concept of it at the moment.

x wings
y wings
b wings
u wings
z-95s

A few uniques are sometimes included:
Wedge
Dutch
Both Bwings
Magva
Biggs

Finally the Selfless EPT

You could also use Norra on the Y wing

I call it Rebel Family Picture

Slap Leia in a Partisan and season with whatever else you want!

Saw with Leia and 4 Y-wings is a popular build at my FLGS. Man, Y-wings getting a white k-turn can set up a brutal kill-box!

Why Partisan over Blue Squadron Scout?

Is it just for blocking in a pinch?

I was running Partisan but I'm thinking of going BSS for a return shot if it gets gunned down by Ion Ys.

Y-ions can't shoot you as effectively if you block them. Also against Droids and Ties swarms I like the blocker.

I need to adjust my list. I was running Partisan but at 200. Guess drop down to 197 for a bid against swarms.

I don't know if you need the bid? The TIE-swarm is higher I and seperatist don't care that much if they're blocked because of Kraken and token sharing (also they don't need to be in formation).
