I always run my HWK as follows:
Kyle Katarn
moldy crow
blaster turret
recon specialist

If i can spare the points I'll add a shield upgrade. The crow can actually handle itself pretty well & is a focus factory. Run it with Garven & the pair are extremely useful & hard to kill & if played right they don't miss often.

"Dutch" Vander/Y-Wing + R5-K6 + Ion Cannon Turret + Shield Upgrade
Garven Dreis/X-Wing + R5-P9 + Shield Upgrade
Kyle Katarn/HWK-290 + Elusiveness + Blaster Turret + Recon Specialist + Moldy Crow

Kyle decides to take a Focus, which gives him one to hand to Dutch and one to spend on blasting some poor sod with his turret.

Dutch gets a target lock and gives one to Kyle to help with his blaster turret.

Garven takes a Focus.

Dutch shoots at someone and uses his TL+F. He rolls and has a chance to reacquire a TL and then hand it up to Garven.

Garven fires and uses his TL as does Kyle.

If Garven takes some damage, he goes ahead and uses his Focus to heal his shields and then gives a Focus to Kyle to put in the Moldy Crow’s Bank.

Wash, rinse, and repeat.

Finally, because everyone is PS 6, you decide who acts and moves first to better put your Focus tokens to good use. However, almost everyone should be TL+F shooting.

If you slow it down your first turn or two & just do a straight 1 with everyone since Kyle doesn't lose unused focus at the end of his turn it allows you to have up to 6 focus on Kyle to burn as he sees fit by the start of combat turn 3.
