A good E wing squadron

By badgerclaw171, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I was looking at the e wings and they are a very impressive but a little expensive but they still look good. I was looking to see what was A good Squadron only Using E wings. So was wondering if anyone has tried E-wing Only squadron. How well did you do with it would you change something in my list.

I came up with a 198 points

Fire control system

rogue squadron escort [63]

That actually looks really fun! A chap at the Hyperspace Trial I attended this weekend was talking about 3 Rogues with R3, FCS, and Juke. Evade, fire, reroll, juke, profit, defend

I would like Juke, But it's better on higher and initiative 4 is high but I don't think it's high enough sometimes For Juke.

3 rogues are pretty good but I think the extra points For Gavin is worse it because he here affects others as well as himself. I'm just concerned that I should use the other Astromech That makes your ones and twos easier. Well it's something I'll have to try out In an actual game and see which way I like it more. Find that they Both can be useful it's just which one comes up more.

What about elusive instead of Trick Shot?

I've flown several iterations of EEE lists including the ones listed above. I had the most success with the following;

Rogue Squadron Escort (56)
Crack Shot (1)
Fire-Control System (2)
R4 Astromech (2)
Adv. Proton Torp. (6)

Ship total: 67 Half Points: 34 Threshold: 3

Rogue Squadron Escort (56)
Crack Shot (1)
Fire-Control System (2)
R4 Astromech (2)
Adv. Proton Torp. (6)

Ship total: 67 Half Points: 34 Threshold: 3

Rogue Squadron Escort (56)
Fire-Control System (2)
R4 Astromech (2)
Adv. Proton Torp. (6)

Ship total: 66 Half Points: 33 Threshold: 3
Total: 200

It's a good list but probably won't win anything big. Gavin with R4 and FCS can be a great addition to other squads for 65 points. Overall the E-wings are to costly, it would be nice if they all dropped by 3-6 points or if they got an I6 pilot.

I fly Corran a lot, and have played around with some all Ewing lists. @RedSquadBW list above is (for me) the way to go; I4 ships aren't the easiest to get working, but with practice those 3 can hit really hard (and have ok survivorability).

The most important upgrade for an Ewing is R4; the Ewing has one of the best dials in the game, and with R4 you make it the best (IMO).

keep us updated with any games you play with them.

It's not triple E's but I've found this list to be fun and annoying to my opponents:

Gavin Darklighter (61)
Daredevil (3)
Fire-Control System (2)
Adv. Proton Torpedoes (6)
R4 Astromech (2)
Munitions Failsafe (1)

Tala Squadron Pilot (25)
Cluster Missiles (5)
Munitions Failsafe (1)
