Would flying a TIE-Fighter/Bomber swarm of the following do well in a timed, 60 minute rounds, event:

4x Scimitar Squad (TIE-Bomber) 64 pts

3x Academy Pilot (TIE-Fighter) 36 pts

Total: 100 pts

Would this list just offer too many easy points for short rounds?

Let me know.

Depends on your local meta. For my neck of the woods, EVERYONE is flying big ships. So, a Tie Swarm isn't a bad idea.

I'm looking at the My Name is Jonus list that Darkhorse wrote about in his article.

Jonus w/ Homing Missile, Hull Upgrade, and Seismic Charge

2 x Scimitar w/ Assault Missile and Seismic Charge

Scimitar w/ Proton Torpedo and Seismic Charge

It's all geared towards the big ships. Blast them ASAP and try to take them down.

I considered dropping a TIE-Fighter to upgrade the other ships & maybe include a bomb or two, but not sure if it would be that beneficial. Will see after a little play testing tonight.

The best ships to fly in short timed rounds are fat mobile big ships like Fat Han or Engine Chiraneau, ships that can disengage effectively once they get low on health to deny opponents MOV points. Every 3 damage a TIE swarm suffers means -12 MOV points, whereas every 3 damage a Falcon or Decimator suffers is -0 MOV until they kill it, which you can prevent by using the huge mobility granted by Engine.

Run Chiraneau and Whisper, these ships deal a lot of damage, are hard to kill and are very mobile which allows them to easily disengage when they've taken too much damage and deny the opponent MOV points.
