Competiveness and fun for Regionals?

By chief043, in X-Wing Battle Reports

Just fiddling around with some ideas for Regionals, looking at what could be fun vs what other people are taking.

How does this sound?

Wedge w/ R2D2

Chewie w/Veteran Instincts

Rookie X-Wing w/R2F2

Any input welcome, really, I kept trying to put Tycho in, but I couldn't figure out what I wanted the third ship to be. Finally, I had the rookie, and that, what the heck, put in the Falcon and try that out!

Well, Wedge will be the target, so personally, I would switch your 2 droids. I'd put R2F2 on Wedge, as he helps for all attacks. Of course, that means you'll be giving up your action, but Wedge is a good enough hitter that you may not need it.

And Chewie, there are 2 (and I would argue 3) other 1 point options for Chewie that in my opinion are better than VI. Draw Their Fire will help to keep Wedge alive if you can fly him within 1 of Chewie. Chewie will take the crits that Wedge gets, and subsequently turn them over or take them on his shields. This will go a long way towards keeping Wedge alive, especially paired with R2F2. Also the Millenium Falcon title card is great if you want to just boost Chewie. Being able to take the Evade action can be a life saver for a YT, whose agility is 1. And if neither of those 2 options appeals to you, I would suggest taking a look at Determination. On a big ship, Determination can be very big, as the Pilot crits can really hurt them bad. Now I know Chewie won't be affacted by them anyway, but it does allow you to discard that damage card entirely after looking at it rather than taking the damage. Determination happens before Chewie's ability kicks in, so you can look at the card, and if it's a pilot card, discard it instead of taking the damage.

Hope that helps, and have fun! :)


This is close to your build…..






  • Wedge w/R2-D2, Push the Limit and Stealth Device

  • Chewie w/Draw their Fire and MF

  • Prototype A-wing




……every other turn Wedge should be getting two actions, soaking off crits to Chewie and R2 keeping his shields up protecting his SD. MF will give the Falcon some survivability, well Chewie sucks up crits. The A-wing is your flanker.


I tinkered some more, and thought this might be fun. What do you guys think about this?

2x smugglers w/ shield upgrades

wedge w/r2d2 and shield upgrade

I like that one. Any reason Wedge can't have 2 actions every single turn? If he keeps making green maneuvers, he'll be recharging shields and clearing stress so he can Push the Limit again. Sounds pretty dangerous!
