YT-1300 all the 9's

By Englishpete, in X-Wing

So,

I am thinking of trying this out. It has some serious shooting and survivability. The twin nines should really allow the smack.

Total Squad Points: 100

Pilot: Han Solo
YT-1300 (46)
Upgrades:

  • Marksmanship (3)
  • Millenium Falcon (1)


Pilot: Lando Calrissian
YT-1300 (44)
Upgrades:

  • Veteran Instincts (1)
  • Gunner (5)


Thoughts?

Nice till I come at you with:

Boba Fett w/ VI

Vader w/ VI

Soontir Fel w/ VI

:-)

I like the thought behind it. But for simplicity of play, my favorite 2 YT squad is "Humans and Wookiees"

Han w/Luke (crew)

Chewie (pilot) w/gunner

Easy to play. You always shoot, almost always score damage. Han always takes a focus action. Chewie occasionally target locks, but otherwise focus as well.

i've run this list before. two things;

1.) you only have two attacks per round. You need to make them count.

2.) If you face four X-wings you will have problems becuase you will be hard pressed to drop one X-wing a round.

anything shooting 3 or more shots at range 2-3 is going to rock your world, especially if there are 4+ of them, think x-wings, interceptors, firspray with HLC. han may fair slugtly better with the title card, but this list is dangerous…for you.

Luke's not worth the points, especially with how much offensive strength Han already has. I'd drop luke to gunner and give Han the Falcon title (huge boost in defensive ability when he only has 1 agility) and chewie Determination, Draw Their Fire, or Veteran Instincts.

I've gotten good at avoiding things with 2 falcons, and my strategy for firesprays with the HLC is to go straight at them and get in range 1 on the side of them.8 dice a turn can take them down pretty quickly

I've flown against this list countless times. You will need to beware of any good player. This is why;

First you only have two attacks, granted you will always be shooting something, but you can only deal so much damage. Any list with twice the firepower and a similar amount of hits will be tough to defeat.

Second this is a great power gaming list. It is straight forward easy to fly. This also makes it easy to defend against. I've seen good players beat this list with TIE swarms by bumping YT-100s off the board or on to asteroids.

I've used this list before and used it probably 50 times. I'm telling you from experience once someone sees you win your first game and sees how you fly it they will counter. You cannot fly this list the same way at events. If you go up against a wedge Biggs list you will struggle.

Well, your squad may be "better" but mine is more fun. So at least it isn't sitting all alone in the corner at parties. :)
