The X-Wing tournament we hosted last weekend was a blast! It
made me think some more about how to run Wedge, sohere it is my new 100 point
list.
Firstly, here it is:
Airen Cracken – Assault Missile + Veteran instincts
Luke – Shield upgrade, Veteran Instincts and R2D2
Wedge – Shield Upgrade + Predator + R2F2
Alright, so at first it doesn’t seem hugely intimidating.
However, this list is designed to kill Phantoms, and it doesn’t stand up too
badly against other lists as well. The Shield upgrade and droid on wedge are to
make sure he sticks around longer (and he has....to the annoyance of my
opponents). The Synergy is for Wedge to move, activate his droid and then wait
for Cracken to shoot him over a focus token. Predator is deadly vs low PS
ships, which are still around. Plus, even just a single re-roll is nothing to
complain about. Luke is the real secret weapon though. His build is nothing
new, but it is still deadly. If you only take pot shots at him, you are wasting
your time. He will just regen shields or dodge extra attacks using his special
ability.
Some people argue that it isn’t necessary to have
PS10/PS10/PS9. However, I believe it is. Sure, the highest phantom is PS9 (with
vet instincts), but that doesn’t matter. For 2 points, I want to be shooting
first with at least two of my ships (sometimes Wedge might have to vs the
opposite of himself) as to make sure the simultaneous attack rule doesn’t
apply.
I’m anxiously awaiting rebel aces now, I want to try out the
new proton rockets!
And you can yell, Release the Cracken!
