Can anyone give me some tips on building a hundred point squad, that will compete against an imperial 100 point (3 Ties and 2 Interceptors).

I have 3 X wings 1 A wing 1 Y wing and 1 HWK.

Thanks in anticipation.

You could run something like this:

Y-Wing Dutch Vander

R2-D2

Ion Cannon Turret

X-Wing

Garven Dreis

2 x X-Wing Rookie Pilot

Dutch and Garven will be focused by the opponent so you will have to keep that in mind

or you could do something like:

Y-Wing Dutch Vander

R2-D2

Ion Cannon Turret

X-Wing

Garven Dreis

X-Wing

Rookie Pilot

HAWK

Rebel Operative

Ion Cannon Turret

Thanks for the reply, they both look very interesting.

I will try them out on my next game.

By the way my next game will only be my 2nd game.

Thanks again

There's a thread going in the main site on "How to beat a Tie Swarm". Check it out!

Np mate. Just remember if you run Dutch and Garven together Garven should attack first in order to be able to pass the focus token to Dutch. That's if you want the token on Dutch, if not it doesn't matter

Thanks .

Roark with Ion turret and Recon Specialist

Dutch with Ion turret and R2

Rookie with R2

Rookie with R2

27 + 29 + 22 + 22 = 100

Use Roark to give one other ship PS12 for firing phase. Use ion to lock ships into maneuvering where you'll know where they'll go. Use more K turns on Rookies to pounce on ioned ships and strip stress off with all speed 1 and 2 maneuvers.

Dutch passes out a free TL to whoever needs it.

I just can't believe how kind and helpful you guys have been to me.

Thanks for your replies they have really given me some help.

Not much I can add to these squads, they look solid given your ships so all thats left is

Good Luck and welcome to X-Wing

Also you should check out the " voidstate " squad builder for all your build practice/ tinkering needs, just Google it

Oh and my condolences to your wallet

Yes I am already putting a strain on my wallet with what I've ordered. But I am ok if the wife doesn't get to know!.

Or you could make her play the Empire. Nothing quite like an arms race in your house...

Welcome to the boards and good luck... swarm is a tough list to fly against, especially if your opponent is a little more experienced.

If you have an awing and fighting a swarm it's hard not to suggest Assault missile.
