Y Wing w/ an Advance Proton Torp

By Endgame124, in X-Wing

I've been playing with a Gold Squadron w/ an R2 unit and an Advanced Proton Torp. Its 25 points and packs a mean punch with the APT, and actually is durable enough to usually be able to fire the APT. I ran 2 of these recently with Garvin and an Rookie, and ended up having a gold squadron ace wedge in a single shot, though he ate 6 hits to get the shot in (4 from wedge and 2 from an enemy Garvin).

Anyone else use this combo, or have any thoughts? I think there is some promise there, but I think you really want to squeeze turrets into the Y-Wings, and when you do that you start looking at a 3 ship build...

I toyed around with the idea of doing a wedge, garven, rookie, gold + APT to draw fire from wedge or garven. An ion cannon would be more useful overall though and the y-wing will probably be the last ship on the field because its usefulness is so underrated.
