I have run a dual HLC list before and munitions failure can nerf that list something terrible.

What about this:

Rexler Brath (37)

Push the Limit (3)

Heavy Laser Cannon (7)

Assault Missiles (5)

Engine Upgrade (4)

Darth Vader (29)

Wingman (2)

Assault Missiles (5)

Engine Upgrade (4)

Total: 96

View in Yet Another Squad Builder

Again, I know it's unorthodox and a bit silly.

The idea here is that Vader and Rexler can take 2 actions every turn. Rexler can also take red 2's with Vader with out being stuck with the stress afterwards. This gives Rexler the ability to fly around in constant close formation with Vader having the ability to take focus + locked shots consistently.

This list will die quickly. Once you lose Rexlar you'll only be able to throw 2 or 3 dice at your opponent. Why have HLC and an Assault Missile? Its just over kill. PTL on Defender's isn't a very good combo. The Defender can only shred stress by going straight. So it kind of limits your maneuvers and gives your opponent an easier time blocking you. Two ship builds with small base ships is just not a good idea. You don't have the hitpoints to survive more than 3 rounds.

Try:

Brath + Predator

Vader + Squad Leader + EU

Academey X 2

= 99 points.

Now you have the Two Academies to jam up your opponents squad and they can put out decent damage up close. Vader can pass a TL or Barrel Roll action to Brath so he can Focus and keep it for his ability. Predator is just an insurance policy in case Vader dies or he gets out of range. Perhaps Outmaneuver might be a better option or drop Pred and EU on Vader for a HLC on Brath.

Proton Rockets on Vader can be a nice option too, once those are available.
