Hi, new to the boards, need some advice

By Janson, in X-Wing

Thanks for all of the advice guys. I wasn't able to change the list up from the original due to my lack of cards but a lot of your explanations really helped with my strategy. When it was all said and done I placed 2nd so I can't complain.

List:

A-Wing

-PTL

A-Wing

-PTL

B-Wing

-FCS

-HLC

-B-wing

-AS

Some thoughts:

-I'm sticking to the A-Wings and I need to keep using them aggressively. they saved my butt when some Bounty Hunters hosed my B-Wings.

-This is the first time I have ever played a true Tie Swarm and it was brutal. The first pass went against me when I made a mistake and hit one two many ships and even when I started to get back into it I had already fallen too far behind.

-I'm probably gonna drop the HLC. With only one, its easy to focus on and there were times when I really missed Advanced Sensors because everyone closed on it as fast as possible. I'll probably switch out the FCS B-Wing for an AS B-Wing and drop the HLC which will give me six points to play with. That probably would have been a huge deal against the Tie Swarm.

For the boards, would it be worth it to use the last 6 points for stealth devices for the A-Wings, Ion Cannons for the B-Wings, or maybe something else worth 6 points?

If you have 6 points to play with put an Assault Missile on your A-Wing. It might help scatter the Tie Swarm.

You should always consider mixing in Biggs, to deprive your opponent of good shots in the first round or 2 - assuming you know how to fly.
