Stressed? You will be (Firespray list)

By Englishpete, in X-Wing

So,

in my never ending quest to try new Firespray lists. (As I love the Firespray) I came up with this heavy hitter.

56 points
Boba Fett
Homing Missiles, Push the Limit, Recon Specialist, Slave-1, Advanced Proton Torpedoes
44 points
Kath Scarlet
Marksmanship, Rebel Captive

Fett has all the toys to deliver the ordinance and be highly survivable.

Kath is going to give you fits with stress. She will probably stress two ships a turn or one twice if she does no damage. If she does damage, one ship a turn stressed and one hurting.

It's simple and it's brutal.

Just like Bounty Hunting scum should be.

looks fun but i would move the homing missles to Kath to give your opponent a tougher choice of who to try to shoot first.

I have them on Fett as he can focus and Target Lock in the same turn. I could put the APT on Kath, Target lock one turn fire with Marksmanship the next. The we have some real tough choices. Hmmm, I like that thinking....

50 points
Boba Fett
Homing Missiles, Push the Limit, Recon Specialist
50 points
Kath Scarlet
Marksmanship, Rebel Captive, Slave-1, Advanced Proton Torpedoes

I always like it when a fleet comes to exactly split point values. 2 50 point ships, 2 33s and a 34, 4 25 pointers, 5 20 pointers, et c. That means that there is no one ship that will cripple your chances if it dies :D

Really want to try list 2 but have so many to try.

Will just have to keep checking this thread.

Just to throw it out there tho, as you now only have the one missile on boba you could drop push the limit for deadeye even though this is a one time deal. That gives you two points for a siesmic and still keep 50 pts a piece

Why not try trading Fett for Krassis, with all those secondary weapons free re-rolls for fewer points sounds like a win to me.

That's exactly my thought when I saw this list.

No ptl then

What Picasso said :-)

yup

Forgive me for I am new... but I don't get the recon specialist.

I thought you could only use 1 focus per game round and you lose all of your unspent focus at the end of the game round?

You can only take one focus action per round, but if you somehow acquire additional tokens then you can spend them on attack and defense as you will. You do lose them at end of turn tho.

If you have the Moldy Crow title card then that ship can keep any unspent focus tokens. That's Kyle's value - with Recon Specialist he can receive two per turn and with the Crow they just accumulate on him.

Recon Spec adds a lot of utility for the Firespray, as it lets you focus for damage AND for defense.

Recon Specialist is THE crew card for a Firespray for the exact reason stated above.

(Well, in my opinion anyway :-) )
