The TIEx1 and Advanced Targeting Computer cards will come with the Imperial Raider. I wish you didn't have to shell out big bucks just to get the cards.

I think Raider MSRP is $99, but saw on Cool Stuff Inc. you can pre-order for $69.

I wish they would come out with a new 2-ship Imperial pack - like a Tie Advanced/Tie Bomber pack with Pilots to fill in the Pilot Skill cards with some new options

Advanced (PS1,3,6,8) and Bomber (PS1,3,5,8,9) are missing pilots that could make them more interesting to field more often.

It would be eas enough to put in the TIEX1 and ATC cards along with some interesting upgrades for the Bombers.

Heck - even the Phantom could use some new cards (PS4,8,9) since the rules are a little different. It would be fun to see new abilities tied to the cloak.

I believe that the squad would be extremely fun. The issue I run up against is time\damage output. It seems like every time I fly an interceptor\advanced squad I can either do one of two things: Fly around and play the chase game to wait for the occasional chance to shoot while outside of the opponents arc OR take the chance and apply offensive pressure and HOPE that the green dice don't hate me that day.

The dice are statistically geared for slightly more damage vs defense. So having an entire squad with only 10 hit points and 2-of-10 shields make you VERY susceptible to crits. Specifically the 2-damage card.

That all being said, it is a LOT of fun flying these glass-canon aces lists! I do it from time to time just to work on maneuvering practice.

Give it a try and let us know how it goes!!

p.s. To point re-iterate what USCGrade90 said, the TIEx1 and ATC cards aren't out until the Imperial Raider hits. So you could only run the list in casual.
