I like to use holidays as a creative opportunity to put together lists and pilots I might not normally use. Mother's Day was my first exercise and loved it as one list did not do well, which I expected, but another list surprisingly came out on top against a tough list with a good player. My next holiday theme is Memorial Day, celebrating American men and women who died in battle, next weekend. The challenge is to come up with a list of pilots, co-pilots, gunners, and bombardiers who died in battle for their respective factions. Please add a list you would consider for this theme and comment on what lists have been posted. Here is my offering:
T-65 X-wing - •Jek Porkins - 48
•Jek Porkins -
Red Six
(46)
Trick Shot (2)
Servomotor S-foils (Closed) (0)
BTL-A4 Y-wing - •“Dutch” Vander - 49
•“Dutch” Vander -
Gold Leader
(39)
Ion Cannon Turret (4)
Veteran Turret Gunner (6)
T-65 X-wing - •Biggs Darklighter - 54
•Biggs Darklighter -
Red Three
(48)
Shield Upgrade (6)
Servomotor S-foils (Closed) (0)
T-65 X-wing - •Garven Dreis - 49
•Garven Dreis -
Red Leader
(47)
Trick Shot (2)
Servomotor S-foils (Closed) (0)
Total: 200/200

Dutch has been used on other lists because of his target lock ability. I might put Biggs on his wing to absorb some of the hits and keep Dutch flying for as long as he can. Garven and Porkins can either joust or attempt to outflank opponents and then joust from the opponents' rear. Should be interesting XXX group with a Y-Wing in support. Of course all four died in the Battle of Yavin.
