I need advice on this anti-B-wing list:

===========
99 Problems
===========
"But a B ain't one of them"
99 points
Pilots
------
Mauler Mithel (24)
TIE Fighter (17), Push the Limit (3), Engine Upgrade (4)
Carnor Jax (26)
Academy Pilot (12)
Academy Pilot (12)
Tempest Squadron Pilot (25)
TIE Advanced (21), Cluster Missiles (4)
------
I like the canor jax/ Mithel combination. I think one of the main problems I run into is that both of them are "glass cannons" if you cant get close enough quick enough. And I've found cluster missiles on an advanced pretty fair against a B.

That's to much for Mauler. I'd rather have Turr for one more point. Ptl on him and he is more expensive, but so much better than a tie

I agree. Upgrading that Mauler to Turr with nothing is a great use for that 1 point

I really don't like that use of Mauler unless you've got nothing else to use.

Admittedly it would cost 3 points of PS but Saber + PtL gives you more firepower and maneuverability. For a point more you get the Royal + PtL which only costs you 1 point of PS for 3 dice at all ranges and more green on the dial. You may need to 'work' a little hard but a the naked Turr also gets you that second action. When you throw the Engine Upgrade on Mauler he's so much like an Interceptor that you are probably better off playing the Interceptor.
