Tyco Celchu lead 100 pts for serious long term practice and use.

By Englishpete, in X-Wing Rules Questions

I have theory winged sevaral builds and played a few of them.

I am not getting the value out of the big ships at 100pts and 1 Y-Wing with X-Wings or 3 ship builds don't seem to cut it for me. Thus, I am committing to learning and tweaking this 4 ship build.

Please read on for squad and tactics.

I Played something similar this weekend with great success. The Y-Wings are actually highly useful with the old Ion Cannons.

I originally had Luke in the X-Wing and a Prototype pilot in the A-Wing, but I like the Celchu build with Push the Limit and Cluster Missiles. His ability to perform maneuvers even with a stress token make him quite dangerous. The cluster missiles are for taking out or seriously depleting one target.

Strategy is to use the Y-Wings to slow the enemy and to try and get in behind the enemy with one or more of them along with Celchu.

The X-Wing is used as a finisher for the damaged ships from Ion Cannon and Celchu.

Thoughts?

Thx

I don't like Cluster Missiles, and I definitely think they'll underperform on Tycho. I'd go with Concussion Missiles, instead.

Other than that, I worry a little bit about where the offense is going to come from in this list. I saw a lot of Wave 1 lists that went 2X/2Y, and played a couple (on both sides of the table), and they all ran into the problem that Y-wings are okay in the late game, when they can just keep plugging away, but they suffer a lot in the early game where they can easily be overwhelmed by focused fire from your opponent.

I think this build has a little bit better potential due to the mini-alpha strike Tycho's missile gives you, but I think it could run into the same problem as those 2X/2Y lists.

Concussion Missiles was choice 2, I'll try it with both and let you know.

Try reposting this to the main board instead of rules questions, you'll probably get more feedback.

Pete can you please use the correct sub-forums for your posts. You keep making varient and now stratedgy posts in what is the Rules Question Forum.

Yeh,

this was my bad, I posted it and then went 'oh no, wrong forum'. If you can delete it go ahead or if I can move it let me know how.

Apologies.

Pete
