Travel as a small pack and try and get out of the the front firing arc as soon as possible keep the xwings close and as soon as the tie fighters are close enough use the Corvette to do a squadron command (Which leia will also give the nebulon b) with hopes that we can apply the xwings to the star destroyer once the tie's are dealt with. And if I'm lucky enough to get into medium range unload with Dodonna's Pride. The entire time keeping the ships within 5 of each other to benefit from Redemption which Leia can give repair commands at any time to both ships.

I figure that most rebels are never really going to get close enough, so I will spend most of my time at long range firing side bombardments, with the above I can fire at both his ships and keep the tie fighters close to the star destroyer. Tarkin will spam give repair tokens probably until they are into long range then will start with concentrate fire to re-roll the 2 red dice (Hard to say)
I will probably do command: Navigate(Tarkin gives a navigate token), Concentrate fire (tarkin gives a repair token), Squadron (Tarkin gives whatever is required)

Or something similiar basically keep the Tie Fighters constantly at distance one until they are xwings are close enough, keep a screen around the VSD so that the rebel player has no choice but to engage the Tie's if he uses a squadron token.

I guess now that I'm thinking about it does the Dominator allow you to add blue dice to the dice pool if there no blue dice?

I mean I like the idea of adding blue dice when I need it, and using Tarkin to give repair tokens to replenish the 1 shield I'm using each round... But if not then I can change the VSD-1 to a VSD-2.

Pretty sure it does yes. That's how we've been playing it anyway.

Well that's good otherwise it's useless for me with the VSDI
