So I have gone mad and purchased all the X-Wings to make Red Squadron as they would have been at the Battle of Yavin.

I researched the pilots and droids and weapon load outs and this is the list within the confines of the game rules and cards.

Pilot Skills were added based on skills at the battle beyond those on the pilot cards.

Total Squad Points: 325


Pilot: Garven Dreis (Red Leader) Named Pilot
X-Wing
Upgrades: R5-K6

Pilot: Wedge Antilles (Red Two) Named Pilot
X-Wing
Upgrades: Marksmanship, R2-F2

Pilot: Biggs Darklighter (Red Three) Named Pilot
X-Wing
Upgrades: R2 Astromech

Pilot: John D. Branon (Red Four) Red Squadron Pilot
X-Wing
Upgrades: R2 Astromech

Pilot: Luke Skywalker (Red Five) Red Squadron Pilot
X-Wing
Upgrades: Elusiveness, Proton Torpedoes, R2-D2

Dreis has squad leader as well

he also has proton torpedoes.

The that makes total cost 329 pts

Reworked to read easier and points per pilot.

Well done! I only wish Dreis really could take Squad Leader, but he is lacking an Elite Pilot Talent upgrade slot. Bummer. I guess in this game, Squad Leader on a skill 6 pilot isn't the greatest move, but it would sure help any of the Red Squadron Pilots.

I'd bet they all had Proton Torpedos equipped, even if only two of them got a chance to fire them.

Mebbe this is a stupid question, but why not use the named pilot card for Luke? The skill still applies for the battle of Yavin.

That is a mis-type, I am using the Named Card.

I totally agree.

Torps for all it is then :-)
