Snap Shot A-wings

By bitsai, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I love A-wings, so I'm particularly excited for the arrival of Snap Shot in 2.0, since A-wings are one of the few chassis that can carry Snap Shot PLUS another Talent. How good is it in reality? I have no idea, but I figured it couldn't hurt to start a thread for pooling build ideas and battle experiences :)

There are two lists I'm particularly intrigued by right now (I'm sure I'm far from the first person to think of these):

*** Rebel Snap Shot A-wings ***

Luke Skywalker (62)
Servomotor S-Foils (0)

Ship total: 62 Half Points: 31 Threshold: 3

Green Squadron Pilot (32)
Juke (7)
Snap Shot (7)

Ship total: 46 Half Points: 23 Threshold: 2

Green Squadron Pilot (32)
Juke (7)
Snap Shot (7)

Ship total: 46 Half Points: 23 Threshold: 2

Green Squadron Pilot (32)
Juke (7)
Snap Shot (7)

Ship total: 46 Half Points: 23 Threshold: 2

(could also swap out Luke for Wedge + Snap Shot, but I like the tankiness of Luke)

Initially I went with uniform groups of 4 IN 3 Snap Shot + Juke A-wings, but after reading early reports here I decided to add an "ace", to give opponent a tougher choice: give you initiative and allow Snap Shot to trigger before their "after maneuver is executed" abilities, or take initiative and let your ace move after their ships.

What Snap Shot A-wing builds do you have in mind, and how have they fared on tables for you?
