X-wing: Summer Escalation League


Ok so this summer the Wyvern's Tale here in Asheville is running a summer Escalation League. The Starting force level is 60 points. Now, 60 points in X-wing doesn't buy a whole lot, unless you are running a crap ton (5 exactly) TIE fighters or a tricked out Chewie or Lando in the Falcon. 


Before diving into a list lets look at what I expect to see in other people's lists.



Imperials
Proto-Swarm - 5 x Academy TIEs

Firespray - Possibly Trellix with HLC and Gunner plus bombs missiles and munitions failsafe or a wingman Academy TIE

"Whisper" Phantom - I know Bobby is dying to fly this guy its just a matter of whether he is tricking him out or supporting him with Academy Dorks.

Shuttle with Gunner and APLs and Dark Curse / Backstabber as escorts.



Rebels
A Falcon of some sort

Double B-wings

Dynamic Duo of Luke an Wedge, salt to taste

an E-wing of some sort possibly with an A-wing escort

The choice for what list to run is what groundwork I want to lay for the rest of the league. Do I want to play a big tough ship/s on the rebel side or play swarmy-swarm for the Imps. I am leaning towards playing a tricked out Chewie and make him as tough as possible while making the most of the 360arc / 3 Attack dice of the YT-1300. I could run double Y-wings with Blaster Turrets or a Y-wing/Blaster with a Kyle Katarn focus factory. 



For the Imps I could run a tricked out Trellix with a TIE blocker or shuttle  with escorts myself. Still thinkin about it and I have till Saturday to figure it out.
