Which 300 point Imperial build... Why?

By woosh87, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

Hello, I have a tournament soon and I cannot decide which of these two lists to play. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

VSD II - Screed, Chiraneau, Flight Controllers, Expanded Bays, XX-9, Corruptor

Glad I - ACM, Demolisher

Soontir Fel

Major Rhymer

Darth Vader

1x TIE Adv

2x TIE Bomber

Precision Strike, Hyperspace Assault, Superior Positions

-OR-

Glad 1 - ACM, Engine Techs

Glad 1 - ACM, Engine Techs, Demolisher

Glad 1 - ACM, Engine Techs, Insidious, Screed

Howlrunner

4x TIE Fighter

Opening Salvo, Fleet Ambush, Superior Positions

(I am tempted to drop engine techs from the non-titled Gladiator and grab an extra TIE, or possibly upgrade 2 TIEs to Advs)

Which: first one;

Why: more flexible, better starfighter wing

The engine techs on the glads are really nice to have especially when dealing with faster Rebel ships, I like your first list but I'd drop a unique squad and throw the techs on the glad. Just my personal opinion though, it depends on your play style. Overall I like the first list better.

I prefer the first one as well, reasons stated above.

I'd take the second, I just love Gladiators, plus the faster speed, I would move screed to the non titles Gladiator though, makes it a little harder choice on who they want to shoot.
