A-wing swarm list

By Millennium Falsehood, in X-Wing

Had an interesting idea for an A-wing swarm:

Green Squadron Pilot + Push The Limit + Stealth Device (25)

Green Squadron Pilot + Push The Limit + Stealth Device (25)

Green Squadron Pilot + Push The Limit + Stealth Device (25)

Green Squadron Pilot + Squad Leader + Stealth Device (24)

Total: 99 pts

The Squad Leader would buff the PTL I think and give one of the fighters an edge over the Imperials, and SD would give them good survivability.

Squad leader can't be used to influence a ship at the same level of pilot skill.

I think the squad is low survivability, despite 4 dice, which won't help you much in the current meta of so many HLCs everywhere.

This squad is strange but it works, 100 points

Outer Rim Smuggler + Gunner (32)

Prototype (17) x4 (68)

Just make sure you get everything at the same time in the first combat approach. The last thing you want is to do like so many people and present the ORS, alone, against the opposition. It will be shot down so fast. Just practice flying a big ship with small ships together and slow down the big relatively so that they come together in fighting range simultaneously. You get a certain amount of swarm power on the rebel side with this and you can maneuver away the hurt ship so that your opponent mainly faces fresh targets. Fly the A-Wings really tight together. Exploit your pilot skill 1 to block. It doesn't matter much if you lose a ship before you fire back (it's actually likely). I'm 3-0 with this squad.

Just run 5x Prototype+Stealth, if you want a true A-wing swarm

4x Green, each with PTL and Stealth, or 5x Prototype with Stealth.

I'd go with just five green squadron pilots. No need to really give them any abilities if you're swarming- they already have the edge of shielding over TIEs.
