Fairly new to X-Wings/Mini's How does this list sound?

By Fipps2, in X-Wing Battle Reports

I've played a few games of x-wings now (playing more and more correctly each game…..just learned about range bonuses : / ) Today, I finally got enough points to field an 100 point rebel squad. How does this sound to you guys?

1 Prototype A wing with Either Cluster or Concussive Missles (depending on Reb or Imp Opponent)

1 Rookie X-wing with R2

1 Chewbacca Yt-1300 with Luke, Concussion Missles, and Veteran Instincts

That puts me at 100 points exactly.

Thoughts?

Personally I would drop Vet and the missiles from the YT and do a Shield Upgrade and take Homing Missles on the A-Wing.

Technically your squadbuilding has to be done blind, you won't know whether you're fighting Imperials or Rebels.

I would drop the YT-1300 all together and get more smaller craft.

I've been running this and its a lot of fun

  • Chewie w/Draw Their Fire and Mercenary Co-pilot
  • Prototype A-wing x2
  • Rookie X-wing

Have to fly tight formations to take full advantage of Chewie sucking up criticals well dishing some out…..kind of weak against Assualt Missiles but its a good 4 ship build….you could also drop "Draw Their Fire and Mercenary Co-pilot", upgrade the X-wing to Red Squadron and a A-wing to Green Squadron….spreads your PS out across the 4 ships……I'm sure you will get more suggestions and my best advice is just play something you'll have fun with

Fipps, I think your squad looks fine. Give it a spin and let us know what you learn! I'd be a little concerned about having only 3 ships, but you never know until you try it. And if you drop upgrades for more ships, well, sometimes it's just not as fun.
