X-Wing League play testing


So, got in some more testing and modifying my B-Wing list it seems…  Looking like this is what I’ll use:

BBYNorraAP5 (197)
Braylen Stramm — A/SF-01 B-Wing
47
Jamming Beam
0
Ship Total: 47
Half Points: 24 Threshold: 4

Ten Numb — A/SF-01 B-Wing
46
Fire-Control System
2
Jamming Beam
0
Ship Total: 48
Half Points: 24 Threshold: 4

AP-5 — Sheathipede-class Shuttle
32
Leia Organa
2
Ship Total: 34
Half Points: 17 Threshold: 3

Norra Wexley (Y-Wing) — BTL-A4 Y-Wing
41
Ion Cannon Turret
4
Proton Torpedoes
12
Proton Bombs
5
Veteran Turret Gunner
6
Ship Total: 68
Half Points: 34 Threshold: 4

Norra is good on the Arc, so I’ll try the Y-Wing variant I suppose.  The one thing that I was having trouble with was actually doing Damage.  Proton Torpedoes are solid, even at 12 points, seems good to have Ion Turret and Bombs…  The list is a Damage Race as I have essentially zero Defensive capability (not sure the term to really use here) and I just need to throw out more Damage faster than my Opponent…  Coordinate is just SO much better than any other Action I think and it does make AP5 just a Taxi for Leia and a mobile Action for the actual hard hitters of the list.  Sabine is amazing, but I found I REALLY missed the Turret and frankly she is more of a Combat ship and she wants to be I there fighting.  SHE has a ton of Actions and can be an awesome blocker/Arc Dodger, but she really does nothing to aid the rest of the list I think.  Honestly the FCS on Ten is expendable I think.  Neat, but not really necessary.  Braylen is solid on his own getting the effective TL when Stressed.  Ten gets the Focus(ish) for Stress, which is great, but found I was not hitting often enough quickly enough.  Still need to figure out the last 3-5 points for the list…

I suspect that I was playing it wrong with it needing to just have the ARC to just bull rush in front of the B-Wings and Sabine just running a Flank or playing Linebacker.  Might still be a thing, but I suspect there will be far more hard counters to the “JOUST ME” list.  Thinking the YBB list with the Support ship to just throw in Coordinates and taxi Leia to allow some really interesting Turns where I can do the Red Maneuvers AND get Actions to have the better modified shots.  And of course the possibility of Norra dropping a Bomb, K-Turning while she has the target Locked and have the fully modified Proton Torpedo shot is amusing…  Will see I suppose…

Need a few more games for the League…  Looks like we’ll try to get in some games this Sunday and next Sunday…  Only way I think I’ll get in the last 4 games I think.
