Let me know if this would be good to take for casual game night at my local shop

At my shop, people seem to often take a single strong ship (high point deci/falcon/B-wing) with some cheapie escorts. Thanks!

Sounds like three really good escorts for Whisper. IMO the Tie Advanced has become an excellent choice for cheap escorts. The Advancd will take a pretty good beating and can be totally defensive in your build. I really like it.

More HP than a miniswarm, shields extend longevity quite a bit and with the new title firepower is excellent.

Ignore the advanceds and late game they'll punish you for it, ignore whisper and she'll do the same.

Do you guys think it would be better to fly whisper by herself, or have whisper + 1 advanced, and 2 other advanced together?

I like the list. As an alternative to Whisper, you can also go with:

Darth Vader w/ the x1 title, Predator, Advanced Targeting Computer, and engine upgrade!

Well it'll not be easy to fly the advanced in a particularly tight formation with the phantom as they move so differently. Having said that some support (relatively) close by even for a phantom is no bad thing. If you are going to split your forces i wouldn't deploy them too far apart as they'll struggle to close back up to support each other if required mid-game. Splitting your forces is not usually a particularly profitable tactic...

I would flank Whisper and group the advanced. You opponent will have to pick his poison.

I run a list just like what you're describing, and it does well, may not be a tourney list, but it is fun to use... I have a few wins with it and only a couple losses.

you know, i actually like the whisper + 3 Adv better. like the variation in tools it gives. im gonna try this build. maybe time to get another advanced.

Another...??? I have 5 already... when I get the one from the raider I'll have 6... lol

Lol. I don't got the spending cash for that many. I have 1. With the raider it'll be two. Maybe I'll add a third and a fourth is in the very far future. Don't even have a firespray or falcon yet

I am fortunate.. I have had the good fortune to gain many of the large ships...
