I'll try this squad that look really fun and hilarious to play. It's based off one of SableGriffon's idea over the Battle Report forums:

1x ORS + Intelligence Agent + Navigator + MF + Anti-Pursuit Lasers

1x Biggs Darklighter + R2-D2 + Shield Upgrade

2x Prototype Pilots

The idea is to get the annoying ORS in the way of enemy ships and let it do his thing while Biggs plays his laser magnet role and let the ORS live a bit longer and the 2 prototypes as flankers manoeuvering around and attacking when then can.

Will be fun!

Let me know how it goes.

I'm not sure you need Biggs to protect the ORS though. The reason I say that is, if it's doing its job, anything touching it can't shoot at the ORS. It is largely protected by this strategy. Biggs can help the ORS get close. However, for the points, you might consider dropping the MF title and upgrade Biggs to Garven. That way he can pass a focus token to whoever would have the best shot (usually the ORS so his range 1 shot can be more powerful in the event he bumps (which he will (a lot))).

**** good idea!

But my idea behind using Biggs was to protect ORS and maybe the A-Wings in the event i'd fly in formation most of the game. Those 2 As are a bit frail so I thought Biggs could do his father job and protect the little ones

Garven make a lot of sense with his focus giving ability.

Or should I try to fit Luke in? Like this:

Outer Rim Smuggler + Intelligence Agent + Navigator + Anti-Pursuit Lasers (33)

Luke Skywalker + R2-D2 + Draw Their Fire (33)

Prototype Pilot (17)

Prototype Pilot (17)

You might also want to consider 99 points for init. APL ain't that good if they move first.

Wow good point. ORS is PS1 as are the Academy pilots...i'd be best to fetch the Initiative.

Then what about this brilliant idea for 99 points

Outer Rim Smuggler + Intelligence Agent + Navigator + Anti-Pursuit Lasers (33)

Garven Dreis + R2-D2 (30)

Green Squadron Pilot (19)

Prototype Pilot (17)

Actually, your initial list had 101 points

ORS (34)

Biggs (33)

2x A-Wings (34)

I didn't realize this until just now, sorry.

As for you Luke idea, I like it. Drop Draw Their Fire though. He's going to drawing enough fire as it is. That's 99 points. One for initiative, which you want.

I wouldn't flying in formation with this list. Setup the A-Wings on the sides and the ORS in the middle. The ORS should immediately rush into crashy spots and Luke should hang back, trying to stay out of most arcs. He's your late game closer. The A-Wings should arc into combat from the sides, either chasing or getting in front and blocking further.

I wouldn't upgrade an A-Wing to Green squadron as you want them all to move at PS1 (except the X-Wing).

I'll try this then:

- ORS + Int. Agent + Nav + APL

- Luke + R2D2

- Prototype Pilot 2x

For 99 points.

Or try to fit in Garven instead of Luke for the same amount of points.

Aren't they way better if you move first? That way, you can block, and surprise your opponent with your maneuvers.

He said APL ain't that good if THEY move first, meaning that the person with APL wants to move first.

Just came back from the game with a win...but a **** tight win...

My Squad:

- ORS + Navigator + Intelligence Agent + APL

- Luke + R2D2

- Prototype Pilot x2

Total: 99 points

Against:

- Captain Kagi + Recon Specialist

- Captain Jonus + Consuccion Missile

- Scimitar Squadron Pilot + Concussion Missile + Seismic Charges x2

Total: 100 points

Started really poorly for me with, again, bad rolls in attack and defense. Could not roll more than 2 hits and he mostly evaded my attacks. My ORS didn't really do it's job but still managed to block 2 Bombers but only scored 1 hit with APL. He died pretty soon.

First time playing 2 A-Wings and **** they're fun to move around and mess with the enemy. They're great flankers and greatly mobile. I was often able to be in range 1 and outside of the enemy LOS. Great ship that i'll field again.

Luke + R2D2 = awesome! I was downed to 1 hull pretty quickly but managed to get my shield back at 2 in no time. He also killed the Shuttle with the help of the 2 A-Wings two turns after my ORS was destroyed.

Then the tide changed and my rolls became awesome. I was hitting like crazy and evaded a lot. Felt good to at least do something. I downed a Bomber, then another until it was Luke and 1 A-Wing vs Jonus.

I won after a K turn with Luke and an A-Wing coming from the flank, Jonus with no LOS to any of my ships had no chance.

Great game but too long. 3 hours...I don't understand why it took that long. No AP from both of us, no downtime...maybe because of some turn where we just manoeuvered around without being able to shoot.

Anyways, was a great game!

I might change some things though and remove the lone ORS and replace him with maybe a B-Wing with Advanced Sensors or something else...like that maybe:

- Luke + R2D2

- Ibtisam + AdvS + Squad Leader (OR Swarm Tactics)

- Prototype Pilot x2

Total: 99 points

OR

- Garven Dreis + R2D2

- Ibtisam + HLC

- Prototype Pilot x2

Total: 99 points

More punch
