So really new, I seem to have an easy time coming up with imperial lists (love soontir and the bounty hunter) but I'm having a hard time figuring out some good 100 point rebel lists. So I want a list with the falcon and a bwing, I was thinking either Han or chewbacca as the pilot for the falcon and a bwing with advanced targeting and heavy laser cannon. What other ships/ upgrades could I use?
Need some help building rebels
What is "Advanced Targeting"? Do you mean "Advanced Sensors", or do you mean "Fire Control System"?
For Rebel fleets, you typically want 3-4 ships. You've also done us a disservice by not listing the other Rebel ships you have available. There are a few base ideas to start from, and since you want to use a YT-1300, I figured I'd do a play off of "Han Shoots First". Enjoy ![]()
Chewbacca
+ Gunner
+ Millennium Falcon Title
+ Expert Handling

Blue Squadron Pilot (B-Wing)

With the Advanced Sensors, your B-Wings never lose an action to a red maneuver. Moreover, they can also use a Barrel-Roll before executing a Koiogran. If you went without the YT-1300, I'd advocating adding Engine Upgrades to them, for the utility of a Boost before that Koiogran, turning them into absolute monsters at close range. You can drop one of your B-Wings in favor of a 21 point ship (a naked Rookie Pilot [X-Wing] would work, as would a Rebel Operative [HWK-290] with an Ion Cannon Turret or Blaster Turret+Nein Nunb) to buy one on the B-Wing you kept.
Adding a Gunner to a named YT-1300 pilot ensures you'll be spitting out a lot of damage. The combo is still played at competitive level, and having 2 named YT-1300s with Gunner is the only 2-Ship fleet I'd consider at 100 points. The Expert Handling is there for the surprise that is a large-base barrel roll with a 360* firing arc: nothing quite like dancing out of a firing arc at will, nor is there anything like jumping from barely-out-of-Range-3 to barely-in-Range-1 when you get to shoot first.
You could drop the Advanced Sensors on the B-Wings and the Expert Handling on the YT-1300, picking up Han Solo as the Pilot and Chewbacca as a Co-Pilot instead. Han with a Gunner has what amounts to slightly less than a free Target Lock on BOTH attacks, and the Chewbacca co-pilot cancels a Crit AND regens 1 shield, giving you more survivability.
Sorry I meant the fire control system for the target locks.
I have 2 awings, 2 b wings, 1 y wing, and 3 x wings. And 1 falcon
Thanks for the advice
Other list seeds you can run:
Biggs, Luke, and Wedge, where Luke has "Draw Their Fire" and "R2-D2" to protect Biggs.
Garven Dreis, "Dutch" Vander, and Ibtisam, where all 3 are level 6 pilots, and all can get multiple actions in a single round.
ABXY, where you run one of each for huge amounts of diversity.
Those three look really cool! I do like the idea of the trench run wingmen.
How would chewbacca with the falcon title, graven, and the level 2 bwing with heavy laser cannon and fire control system work?

If you can grab a Gunner on your YT-1300, do so. It is stupid-good interaction. Can't afford that AND Garven AND a HLC/FCS B-wing... but it's an interesting idea.
If Garven passes a Focus Token to the B-Wing, it will either be immediately after a Red Maneuver, or when the B-Wing needed to Barrel Roll. Otherwise, he's just going to be a buff-stick for Chewbacca. IF you go with this fleet idea, spend the extra 1 point to get the Millennium Falcon title on Chewbacca, to give you an option other than Target Locking every turn.
