Wave 1/2 Squad vs Wave 3

By Acme, in X-Wing Battle Reports

I only have wave 1/2 ships and upgrades. I am going to play against the 3 following lists. Any suggestions for a wave 1/2 list to beat them all?

Opponent 1:

- Blue Squadron Pilot + HLC

- Blue Squadron Pilot + HLC

- Rookie

- Rookie

Opponent 2:

- Jan Ors + Squad Leader + Ion Cannon Turret + Nien Numb

- Dagger Squadron + FCS + HLC

- Dagger Squadron + Adv Sensors + HLC

Opponent 3:

- Jonus + Proton torp + Squad Leader + Sismic

- Scimitar + Proton torp + Assult Missiles

- Scimitar + Proton torp + Assult Missiles

- Scimitar + Proton torp

1. 7-8 TIE swarm.

2. Wedge/Biggs/Luke

3. Something with Y-wings and Ion Cannon turrets mixed in, which will give a fit to the Bomber list in particular, but probably to the other two lists as well.

Interceptors should do the trick, those are all pretty slow lists.

Turr Phennir 25

-PTL 3

Saber 21

-PTL 3

Saber 21

-PTL 3

Saber 21

-PTL 3

You can downgrade Turr to another Saber if you are worried about keeping Initiative.

As much as I would love to see Interceptors beat those lists they only can get hit once before they are pretty much done. Its very very hard to win with just interceptors.

Run my squad of

Howl

Saber x2

Backstabber

Mauler

Add upgrades to preference. Though PTL on sabers is great, putting swarm on Howl and the sabers is good as well.

I feel like backstabber and mauler are just cheaper sabers most days. I know they're not but in about half of games they sure play just like them. Boost can be big, especially with PTL too but your still cheaper going with mauler and upgrades over sabers most days. Backstabbers lacking a elite slot makes him just a clumsy interceptor for cheaper and as a one off I usually like him. He also just tends to draw fire like crazy. You know your opponent will gun for them and that is toyoir advantage since they are cheaper and, in theory, less powerful.
