Reds and Greens

By polmoneys, in X-Wing

Did any of you try or faced Reds and Greens?

### GGRR ###

Green + PTL + HM (x2)

Red (x2)

I'm about to start testing it for an event and was curious about your thoughts on how to fly it, weaknesses...If luck is on my side alpha strike can be pretty nasty... plus A-Wing dial is beautiful.

TIA

Since your PS is low for all 4 of your ships, it is likely that you will lose a ship in your opponents alpha strike. At least those A-Wings will be the first target until those missiles are gone. That will save your harder-hitting X-Wing's some punishment at first..

I've run this list, though assaults over HM, and it runs quite well. Just make sure the AAs are flanking and not heading straight into the fight. I usually keep the Xs back for a turn or two to make the other person have to think about whether going in on the Xs is worth it while being flanked by the As. This usually makes people break formation. Also this list works well against most swarms because of the slight increase of PS.

I agree Assaults over HM if you have ptl, if I run two a wings I usually do a green,ptl,assault, and a proto with a homing, that saves you some points to spend elsewhere and gives you a ps1 blocker.

I've run similar lists and you'll want to be very careful with your X-Wings early on. Lose one of them too soon and your full game firepower is in really rough shape.

I like this list, it's nice and simple, though personally I'd drop the missiles to Concussion and hand over an R2 unit for my Reds to help make them less predictable after K-Turns.
