Hmm, no. But I feel like I should.
All A's. =P
My 4 A-wing squad (http://x-wing.voidstate.com/build/11112) was called the Breakneck Boys. The idea behind the name was that they would break the neck of the opponent with their alpha strike and then would fly away at breakneck speed (that may be an English expression).
How successful have 4 GSP + VI + Homers been? I found VI really didn't make too much of a difference to their performance while Push the Limit did. Would be interested to know...
All A's. =P
I like it!
done!
i'd love to use PTL on them, as i know it drastically increases their survival, but i desperately wanted the homing missiles.. they seem to fail a lot less than all the other missiles out there
All A's. =P
Ah, geez, now I feel dumber than I did before.
But I like the name. Color, to differentiate versions, like The Green Honor Roll. I'm totally doing that now.

With the 4 GSP's I prefer Deadeye over VI with missiles....gives me more versatility.
Has anyone ever tried 5 Prototype Pilots with 5 Stealth devices?
I just was thinking about it and was slightly intrigued...

i did, but i don't own a 5th A-wing sadly, so i can't test it
but i'm guessing it may do alright
I just recently picked up one A-Wing and am looking forward to playing it this week. I think I'll be using Tycho or Arvel with 3x-wing rookies to make my squad, that seems to be a pretty decent combination. Not sure what the upgrades will be.

Whoa. Looks like a good squad. Will have to try it.
Howdy all.
Does anyone have any objection to me trying out their squad lists as published on the forum? I am still a new player less than a year and I have a 3 a-wing squad I published on the other a-wing forum. I really think the a-wings are either a hit em hard aggressive squad, or the stay alive and hit em from the outskirts defensive type of squad. but I like all the builds and would love to try them all out. also I have a very stupid question how can you put PTL and stealth device and missiles on the a-wings? the best of them only has 2 upgrade spots. most have one upgrade spots. and if I am correct the rules say one upgrade card per upgrade slot. meaning one missile and one medal upgrade. what am I missing here that I do not know?

As for upgrade every ship currently in the game can use one upgrade card (stealth, shield or engine) along with what is listed on the pilot's card.

Welcome to the game. I don't think there's any problem with using the lists people post here. That's why we do it, so that people can use them....I've done it myself.Howdy all.

what he said..the only reason i can think of that i wouldn't post a list on the forums is if i had a secret list i created for an upcoming tourney that i would keep it off the forums until afterwords to keep my local playgroup surprised
and generally if the list does really well or well enough i'll share the list in hopes of helping to move the meta game along by helping to keep the game fresh and help give people new ideas on lists that perhaps struggle to build effective winning lists
Wave 2 has opened up a giant can of worms since initial wave 1 and many strong lists that i'm sure are still yet to be discovered.. and here we are on the eve of wave 3.. you can only imagine the chaos that this next set will bring in terms of list building.. it's going to take everyone brainstorming together to effectively create a very diverse set of tier 1 lists
there are numerous posters on this forum that share many lists that they've experienced, just look for them ![]()

ok so if I am getting this correctly.... any ship, even those with out any upgrade icons can use the upgrade cards with no icon on their face? no matter what icon is on the back of the upgrade card? because ( not to quote rules ) my impression of the rules were that the pilot card had to have the upgrade icon in its upgrade bar to use it. and I did notice the cards in question had no icon on the face of their card but the backs were two tools crossed. so I thought ( maybe wrongly) that I had to have that icon on the pilots card before I could use it.... if I am wrong then my a-wings are gonna have fun knockin around some imps.
and can you please show me ( for my benefit ) where in the rules or cards I can find that, so when I play a certain person at my local store I can prove to him it is legal? otherwise I might as well be talking to a proton torpedo. ![]()
The icons with the two crossed wrenches is a ship modification card. Any ship can have one modification card, be it stealth, shield or engine, and no ship has that icon on its card. The rules for them are on the rules pamphlet (pge 2, top left corner) that came with the Large ships (YT-1300 and Firespray).

Thanks to everyone I missed that gem... now my a-wing will rule the galactic space!!!! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I played my A-Wing today with what someone on here called "Tycho's Spear". Tycho piloting an A-wing with stealth device, assault missiles, and PTL with 3 rookie X-wings. I was up against two tie advanced and three ties, one of them being Dark Curse. I had to be rather aggressive with Tycho, and it was a fun battle and it garnered my first win. This forum has helped. Thanks everyone!

Awesome job man! I am hoping to pay my three a-wing squad this weekend when I arrive home off the road. if any one is in indy and wants to play contact me please! and if you all want please add me as a friend on here thanks all.
I played the Green Honor Roll twice last night and didnt have a lot of success with it against 2 TIE with Stealth device, Vader and Marek. It is a hard list to play, thought I think I might try Push The Limit on then instead of Veteran Instincts.
I'll be trying this out tomorrow night...
Horton Salm + R2 F2+ Ion + Protons x 2
Tycho Celchu + Push Limit + Concussion
Green squadron + Marksmanship+ Concussion
Yes...I am determined to find a way to make ordinance work, but feel free to pick apart otherwise.
Now that I have a fifth A, I want to try this list, the A Swarm:
Tycho with Swarm Tactics
Green Sq with Swarm Tactica
Three Prototype Pilots
Five ships... I never thought I would see it in a Rebel force.
I might also try...
Three Green Sq with Push the Limit
Outer Rim Smuggler with Gunner and Mercenary co pilot.
