I've done this before with a shuttle instead of a Squint and it worked ok, but I was wishing I had something better than a shuttle.

Also I had a missle and a torp on each bomber instead of a missile and a bomb. Which comes in handy when I ALWAYS get the munitions failure crit. What seems better, prox mines? Or swap them for a 2nd missile or torpedo (points can be shifted a bit.)

My alternative is 4 scimitars with prox mines and two academy pilots.

I have done very well recently with 3 scimitar and Jones with two ordinance each. With the upcoming extra munitions card, these guys could move to my tournament list.

I really like the Proximity Mines, especially with Jonus and Squad Leader. I like how you have a TIE interceptor in there for some different battle tactics. Looks fun!

But when Extra Munitions comes out, I'd trade the TIE interceptor out for an Omicron Group Pilot with 1 or 2 upgrades (26 points), and use the other 4 points for Extra Munitions on your bombers.

This list is going to get quite the facelift once the punisher comes out. ;)

I would suggest changing squad leader on Jonus for Determination and the concussion missile for ion torpedoes. Even if there is no swarm, it still does the damage.
