What up pilots!
Just wanted to let you know there is an X-wing tournament up at Quarterstaff games in Burlington VT this Saturday. It'd be great if we had some Black Moon Squadron Aces up there to represent!

Gah. I have a wedding I'm going to. I'd much rather be playing spaceship games.
Blow up some starfighters for me.

Copy that gold leader. I'm thinking of running this:
100 Points
25 points
Syndicate Thug #1 Y-Wing
Autoblaster Turret, Unhinged Astromech, BTL-A4 Y-Wing, Engine Upgrade
25 points
Syndicate Thug #2 Y-Wing
Autoblaster Turret, Unhinged Astromech, BTL-A4 Y-Wing, Engine Upgrade
25 points
Syndicate Thug #3 Y-Wing
Autoblaster Turret, Unhinged Astromech, BTL-A4 Y-Wing, Engine Upgrade
25 points
Syndicate Thug #4 Y-Wing
Autoblaster Turret, Unhinged Astromech, BTL-A4 Y-Wing, Engine Upgrade
Thoughts? A variant on the increasingly popular 'Thuggery' List. Instead of ion cannons we have autoblasters+engine upgrades so the Y-wings are much faster. That's 8 attacks a turn at range band 1. I think it could take on big ship/fat Han lists, though arc doggers might give it trouble, but thats when they break formation.

I'm curious about the first build. I've always loved the auto blaster, but the range limitation always bothered me. pretty darned awesome in theory, though.

I've used the autoblaster Y's list to chase large ships to good effect; the engine upgrades and unhinged astromechs help them stay in range band 1 of Fat Han and the autoblaster shots help bypass C3P0 but I've yet to run that list against phantoms or interceptors; I'd imagine it'd take some expert flying in order to win the day vs Soontir Fel and the gang.

With the first list I'd think about dropping the A4 title. You will lose the double shots against things that can't dodge well, but against the arc dodgy things (which can include big ships like Han or Dash) the 360 turret will be useful.
Overall, I'd probably go with the second list. Your usage of the bombs combined with the control of the ions could be deadly. Plus, the Unhinged Astros will let you be unpredictable coming out of your K-Turns.

So... what list did you end up taking? Who won?
