List I'm running in my local Regionals:

The Force Awakens (99 points total)

Rey (45 points), with VI (1 point), Finn (5 points), Jyn Erso (2 points), Smuggling Compartments (0 points), Inertial Dampeners (1 point), Countermeasures (3 points), and Millenium Falcon [HOR] (1 point). Ship total - 58 points

Poe Dameron [PS 9] (33 points), with PTL (3 points), BB-8 (2 points), Sensor Cluster (2 points), Integrated Astromech (0 points), and Black One (1 point). Ship total - 41 points

My general plan is to arc dodge with Poe and get shots in on those with lower or equal PS. With BB-8 shenanigans, he is very capable of either closing to Range 1, having a focus+TL, or both. Rey is the heavy-hitter, smashing through defense dice, or at the very least stripping an opponent of their defensive tokens, leaving Poe open for a shot. The question I've most gotten in my local X-Wing group is, "Why not use Kanan Jarrus instead of Jyn Erso?" My main answer is the initiative bid. Additionally, when I catch multiple ships in arc, I can grant Rey up to 3 focus tokens, which helps to reduce incoming focus fire. Please, any questions, comments, or tips are greatly appreciated
