Which group in a 100 point game will be better?
(2) Scimitar PS2 with Cluster Missile
(1) Captain Jonus with Squad Leader
or
(2) Gamma PS4 with Cluster Missile
(1) Captain Jonus with Swarm Tactics.
I am flip flopping on the merits of each. Any thoughts, or experience.
5 Gammas with Seismic Charges.
I like your second build more. Higher PS and I've never found Sqd Leader to be very effective.
I prefer the latter; one of my current tournament squads looks like this :
Captain Jonus (22)
Swarm Tactics (2)
Homing Missiles (5)
Gamma Squadron Pilot (18)
Proton Torpedoes (4)
Cluster Missiles (4)
Gamma Squadron Pilot (18)
Proton Torpedoes (4)
Cluster Missiles (4)
Alpha Squadron Pilot (18)
Total: 99
Go with the Gamma's. And yeah Squad Leader isn't all that helpful since you are already getting free re-rolls with Jonus. I'd even consider slapping Determination on Jonus instead of Swarm Tactics. I've had Jonus take a crit that canceled out his pilot ability before my Gamma's even had a chance to fire their missiles.

The point of squad leader isn't to give the focus for someone who already has a TL, it's to give a target lock to a ship that couldn't TL on its activation because the target wasn't in range until after it moved.
I just feel like I really want a 4th ship for more damage output and hull
The fourth ship is Turr with PTL and SU. The total points with Turr is 100. I can use Gammas or Scimitars in this list. The above are all helpful comments. Thanks

I remember that game. Good little A-Wing.
I agree. You want higher PS for ordnance bombers. Getting that target lock the first turn is important. Throw a couple Academy Pilots in to block your opponent and you're golden.
Consider trying to put Proton Bombs on Jonus. Why? Because it makes your enemy very, very hesitant to try and K-Turn behind you.
