2 shuttles and 3 Tie-F vs 3B2A (youtube)

By Texx, in X-Wing Battle Reports

I just uploaded a bat rep from this last weekend to youtube. I had just bought a second shuttle, and hadn't used one (properly) yet, so I decided to give it a shot. My friend (doesn't play a lot of X Wing) liked the idea of the 5 rebel ship build. Can the Imps pull out a victory with 5 ships to 5 ships?......

Very nice. Thanks for the battle report. Congrats on the victory. How did you like the shuttles?

I've found B-Wings are the biggest weakness of the space cows. They do a lot of damage and are quite tough, plus that one evade die means that gunner rarely procs, so you end up with one hit or so the first time you shoot one.

It wasn't too bad flying them. The only tricky part is you can't really focus fire with them since it would put them with no targets next turn. Also making liberal use of the full stop move is pretty critical to help shoot at targets without blowing past them with the huge base.

Ya, the BWs aren't a great matchup for the shuttle. Although, it was interesting near the middle, when all 3 decided to focus on my left shuttle. I noticed that since the shuttle had such a large base, that none of the 3 BW could K-turn behind me, thus saving that shuttle from instant dealth next round.

Thanks for the report!
