Biggs, shield upgrade, r2-f2

Luke, shield upgrade, R2-D2

Wedge, marksmanship

I kno this list makes wedge a target but it really comes down to positioning and keeping Biggs in the enemies range. Lemme know what you all think. I could also switch off one of the shields to wedge from Luke too I guess.

Marksmanship isn't that great. I would remove it and give Wedge an R2 unit and give Luke Draw Their Fire, with R2-D2 and the extra shield he can keep Biggs and Wedge alive a bit longer.

Marksmanship: Spend 3 points to add this upgrade. As an Action you get to Focus all your attacks but change one [eye] result to a [crit] instead of a [hit].

With only one attack and nothing special happening on a critical hit Marksmanship is an overpriced FOCUS action that can only be used offensively.

Not sure about all the upgrades on Biggs. Shield Upgrade may barely delay the inevitable and R2F2 requires an action to activate. The shield will likely do more good on Wedge; assuming the one "extra" hit on Biggs would have landed on Wedge it is at most a neutral exchange. I wonder if a Stealth Device backed up by Focus wouldn't do as much.

If you like your list and don't want to change much, I'd at least just change marksmanship to PTL on Wedge. TL + Focus is very strong with Wedge's ability. If you can sneak the R2 droid that makes all his 1 and 2 moves green.... you'll be laughing

I've played a list very much like this:

Wedge +R2+Swarm Tactics

Luke +R2-D2+DTF+Shield

Biggs +R2-F2+Stealth

This has been a very fun list for me, but It's a 3 ship list, and if you lose Biggs early things go down hill quickly. With that in mind you may want to try this.

Luke +R2-D2+DTF

Biggs

x2 Rookies

This list will give you a very similar feel, but it's much more stable because you have 4 ships. 3 Ship lists need a more luck and you can't make mistakes. 4 Ship builds give you a little more breathing room.

I would suggest you go here and read Pauls post ( http://teamcovenant.com/pheaver/2013/11/17/playing-as-or-against-my-worlds-list/ ) and look at how he sets up his opening move. You could do something similar with this list. You may also want to come up with a couple other "Openings" for the some other cases.

Mrfroggies list is a very nice list, survivable and forgiving of early dice screw ups :-)

All great feedback thanks everyone

Seriously....bring more ships. I have tried 3 quality rebel ships and they get vaped. To do well in a tournie you need at least 4 ships.

My advice, ditch Luke and enough upgrades to get 2 more ships.

Er, actually you don't need 4 ships to do well in a tourney. I regularly fly 3 ship builds at tourneys and usually make top 4 or better in fields of 16+ folks.

Three ship builds take more thought to build and more patience to play as they are not as forgiving, but they can be highly effective both Rebel and Imperial. ;-)
