So I've had some games and my list (so far) has done me proud.

Corran Horn (E Wing) + FCS.

Etahn (E Wing).

Ten Numb (B Wing).

It's got some manoeuvrability in the E Wings and Survivability in the B Wing.

It's working well vs other elite wings as the Crits are quite reliable and they tend to stick too.

Corral is a beast, but he isn't actually my MVP. Etahn is what makes this list tick. If a target ship is in his arc, the other ships tend to get at least one crit per shooting. So far it's ended up being one dead ship on the second round and then another usually around turn 4. It's great vs imps, but I'm yet to test it vs other Rebels or a Swarm list.

Nice. Etahn is the closest thing to a Howlrunner the Rebels have so far. To that end I like to kit him out to stupid points defensively and pair him with four Bandit Squad pilots and see what happens. Generally works out well.

If I fire a HLC and then turn all the crits to regular hits, can I then use Etahn's ability to turn one hit into a crit?

I'm not a fan of this list. Naked e-wings aren't very good, and you're one bad round of green dice away from losing a 30-40 point ship. And of course your crit abilities do nothing against shields or if you'd kill your target anyway with normal damage, so you've got a lot of points invested in a fairly inconsistent special ability. Once you try this list against a 4+ ship rebel list or TIE swarm you'll probably never use it again.

Yes. Immediately after rolling the dice you turn all {crit} symbols to {hit} symbols. After that, anything that produces new {crit} symbols will work as usual since the "all crits become hits" rule has already been applied. Note that this includes any {crit} symbols generated by re-rolling dice, as the rule only applies to the initial roll, not any re-rolls.

I think I'm lucky that there is only one TIE Swarm player locally and he never turns up to the club anymore.

I'm one of only three Rebel players out of about 15 players in total and I've only ever been paired up against Imps so far.

I'm considering a different list involving Y Wings, but I need to look into it more.

As for the list, I want to abuse Etahn more.
