Hi guys. I mainly play with my son these days and he's 7.in fairness he's getting really good, a tricksky little devil. Anyway, his squad...

So my son LOVES Boba and has argued that since he is a bounty hunter, the rebels COULD in theory have hired him, as such I let him play him in his rebel squad. So we are now building towards some new fighters and wanted to get some opinions on lists.

A couple of restrictions, bare in mind he's only little!!

He wants Luke and R2D2.

He wants Boba. He makes a lot of use of his skill to tidy up his movement to be fair.

His thinking is either a Y wing or another Firespray with whoever in it...

He's playing at 110 points (I'm giving him a points advantage so I can play a bit harder..)

What kind of load outs etc do u think could work for him?

If he's really looking for 'guys from the movies', then I'd suggest the Y-wing - there are some 'big name' pilots who use the Y-wing, and the turret makes it quite a deadly fighter. If you're going for a mixed force, more than one Firespray seems a little odd.

(I mean, I use three, but my squad is specifically a bounty hunters guild squadron, not an imperial force per se).

Luke and R2D2 are hard to kill for a snubfighter, but no better armed than any other X-wing. A good use for them is the elite talent "Draw Their Fire", which lets you take the heat off a friend. That said, Boba Fett is miles tougher, and doesn't really need the help. A Y-wing, on the other hand, benefits greatly from someone drawing off the crucial critical hits that can wreck its otherwise tough hull.

If you're taking a Y-wing, you can't go far wrong with an Ion turret and torpedoes.

Navigator is a good pairing for Fett - between the two, he can essentially change to any non-straight manouvre at the point he moves (which for most people is after you've seen where the enemy is!). Otherwise, Gunner is good.

Yeah I like a gunner on Fett too...

I agree with u, from a balance perspective too a bomber could b lethal if you pair it with Luke and let Boba fly off on his own...

Draw there fire could be ok on Luke I suppose, personally I'd rather give him perhaps squad leader to help boost the crazy damage from the Y wing.

Which Y wing pilot though?

Horton + Ion + R2-Standard is a solid choice. Kiting within Range 2 for Turret + Innate is always a good skill to practice.

There is a cartoon from the olden days where the Falcon crashes on a liquid planet and the crew meets Boba Fett for the first time. With Chewie's help, Boba gets the parts that they needed to escape the Imperial controlled planet. So, there is precedence to Boba and Rebels helping one another. Plus, Boba did fight Vader.

Three PS8 pilots for early attacks and freedom of activation order -

Boba w/ expert handling & navigator 44pts

Luke w/ R2-D2 & draw their fire 33pts

Horton w/ ion turret & (R2-F2 or R5-D8) 33pts

Or if Action Stacking is more his thing -

Boba w/ expert handling & navigator & seismic charge 46pts

Luke w/ R2 astromech & push the limit 32pts

Dutch w/ ion turret & R2-D2 32pts

Navigator can be swapped for recon specialist in either build, or both Nav and EH can be a gunner, but I feel a hypermobile Fett is a more fun Fett, but whiffed attacks are demoralizing so I'd say try the gunner if you think he'd prefer that.
