Funny you should mention that, I am taking something similar tomorrow to a store tournament:
X-Wing: �Wedge Antilles (30)
Integrated Astromech (0)
Servomotor S-Foils (attack) (0)
Predator (2)
Renegade Refit (-2)
Flight-Assist Astromech (1)

ARC-170: �Norra Wexley (41)
Vectored Thrusters (2)
Alliance Overhaul (0)
Push the Limit (3)
�C-3PO (3)
�R2-D2 (4)

U-Wing: �Saw Guerrera (29)
Pivot Wing (Attack) (0)
Wired (0)
Thrust Corrector (1)
Renegade Refit (-2)
�Ezra Bridger (3)

So what made you go with saw as your heavy hitter ?

I really wouldn't use that Wedge setup, since you're effectively paying nine points for Advanced Proton Torps (6 for the torps, +2 for the torp slot since you're not using Renegade Refit, and +1 for the EPT (since you're not using Renegade Refit)). To make matters worse, Wedge doesn't have any way of getting a target lock and a focus by himself, and while he could get one from Benthic Two Tubes... you're putting a lot of points and effort into trying to get a singular shot, and I just don't think it's worth the effort.

That�s a fair critique , I could hit him with the refit , keep outmaneuver and throw bb8 on him and with the spare points, possibly upgrade to saw with rage and insp recruit?

Continuing the summer of jank lists:

Reeeeeeesist

(28) "Snap" Wexley
(1) Flight-Assist Astromech
(1) Rage
(1) Primed Thrusters
(0) Integrated Astromech
Total: 31 points

(27) "Crimson Specialist"
(3) Bomblet Generator
(2) Crossfire Formation
(3) Stealth Device
Total: 35 points

(31) Poe Dameron
(0) Adaptability (+1)
(1) R4-D6
(2) Advanced Optics
(0) Integrated Astromech
Total: 34 points

List total: 100 points

So like, is it appropriate to ask the thread for list critiques ? I do take y�all seriously before I go to the weekly �end of 1.0� league that I play at.

Brobots could clean house at that sort of tournament. Also putting Hobbie on the table became a real good option after targeting Astro became a thing.

Except Brobots are large base ships.

I didn�t read his post close enough, darn.

I am totally pumped to play resistance bombers again with whatever shenanigans they have to do to make them good. Lol

For playing on my laptop: Vassal or TTS?

Fly Casual, it's a freeware that's not updated often but it's the easiest to use of the three.

It looks like the resistance transport has a built in calculate function.

Are Sith Infiltrators still good or did they get nerfed into the ground?

I hope you like playing Maul with Hate:

Pick something your opponent would rather keep on the board;

Point Maul at it;

Delete it;

Maul dies and droids finish the job.

Color me surprised a good thing happened?

Also I got a screaming deal on a gozanti last weekend, only catch was that it was model only, anyone have a line on a 2.0 update for a decent price?

If you're trying to use it in 2.0, the conversion kit would have the cardboard for it.

They're working a big Clone Wars release for Armada but yeah, the content is very little.

Shame though, it's a good system, it does have a few groups playing virtually now though.

I've had some success using the Angle deflectors on T-70's. Especially Red Ace and Poe. Who can get mods other ways or have Heroic to help offense.

How is legion these days? Beginning to feel like X Wing doesn't have long to run.

Still a fun game if you can find people to play it.

Armada is a lot of fun but as everyone else points out: the conclusion is typically known by turn 2 of a 6 turn game.
