Playing in my first Escallation match on saturday. Was hoping I could get some notes and tips on a list I'm thinking of running:

60 Point List: 60/60

Bounty Hunter (33)

Omicron Group Pilot with EU and FCS (27)

90 Point List: 84/90

Bounty Hunter (33) + Recon Specialist (3)

Omicron Group Pilot with EU and FCS (27) + Gunner (5)

Backstabber (16)

120 Point List: 119/120

Bounty Hunter with Recon Specialist (36)

Omicron Group Pilot with EU and FCS and Gunner (32)

Backstabber (16)

Major Rhymer with VI, Assault Missiles, Fletchette Torpedoes, and Munitions Failsafes (35)

150 Point Squad List 149/150

Bounty Hunter with Recon Specialist (36)

Omicron Group Pilot with EU and FCS and Gunner (32)

Backstabber (16)

Major Rhymer with VI, Assault Missiles, Fletchette Torpedoes, and Munitions Failsafes (35)

Soontir with PTL (30)

Please tear this list apart. Tell me what you like and what might not work and why it probably won't.

Thanks all!

1. I'd drop EU and go with Rebel Captive on either of the two, probably the BH. Rebel Captive is harsh at the 60 point level, and provides an effective counter to both Falcons and Phantoms.

BH+Rebel Captive

OMG+Vader

Now your opponent has two bad options: Shoot the BH first and take a Stress, or shoot shuttle to reduce crits. Both are good against Phantoms and Hans, the chief threats at the 60 point level.

2. It's time to add some real threat to the list.

Soontir Fel+PTL

is a good choice, as this will be the point where people will be introducing supporting ships (2x Z, B-Wing HLC, possibly 3x TIE)

or alternatively OMG FCS+Engine 27, leaving you 3 points for

3. + BH

2 BH and 2 Shuttle should be enough to give any squadron pause at 120, with a whopping total of 40 hp.

4. + Soontir (if not taken earlier) or + Shuttle (if Soontir was taken earlier)

I think it looks pretty solid. My only suggestion is rhymer's loadout, give him ptl and advanced torpedo instead of what he has currently.

Both solid advice.

Darth: I only have 1 firespray and 1 shuttle
