The original idea was to take one each of every Rebel ship currently available and make a decent list...

...but I chickened out and let the B-wing out!

I think the end result looks promising...sort of...a variant of Rebel Aces I guess.

With only 4 over-priced squadrons I'm relying on upgrade cards to give me the most bang for my buck (Tallon, Haven, Raymus, Yavaris). I also have Leia/Tantive in there. It's a fast ship, expendable if need be - and the upgrades gives quite a bit of flexibility.

I think it could do well enough - if I play diligently. Ample room to screw up though, so not an easy list to play.

Well, I don't know that, since I haven't played it...so it's off to set up a game!

Maxing out on points. I think the chosen objectives reward me being 2nd well enough - or first, if my opponent hands me the initiative. Shouldn't matter too much.

I tested a similar list last night, and found it very effective. As you say, you have to play it very carefully...coordinating the fighters and GH can be tricky, especially after they get stuck in.

A few comments:

1) Not sure Adar Tallon is the right choice. Rather than have both the AF and Neb spamming squadron commands, you may want to free up the AF to issue engineering/CF/nav commands. The fighters still get GH's bonus, and Yavaris can command 3 squadrons....good enough, especially if the CR90 helps. Use Adar's points for upgrades and/or initiative bids.

2) Replace Luke with Keyan. It's worth it! 4 re-rolling black dice? Awesome. Just make sure he's out front during deployment. Then you get one of everything out there.

1. Good point. Ill consider some options.

2. I know, i know. That was the original setup...but like i said, i chickened out
