Reclaiming the High Ground

By astronautcowboy, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Is it possible to make Y-Wing Anakin work? I’d like to try. This list is still in”kitchen sink” mode — what can/should I cut for an effective bid? Also very interested in people’s thoughts on torpedo Ric. Thank you!

To be honest, if APT Anakin is territory you want to explore, I'd do it this way

I6 got alot less competitive a spot to be at, so the bid would mainly be benefitting Obi-Wan anyway. That said, broadside and Anakin are great area denial pieces so you can use Obi as bait or punish with him as needed.

That's just my 2 cents tho, aces and a bid are usually good.
