Looking for constructive input here. Goal is to get in close with Star Destroyer and hit their fighters hard with my Hanger, plus get in close with Demolisher while they are distracted...

1 • Victory I-class Star Destroyer - Admiral Screed - Admiral Chiraneau - Flight Controllers - Expanded Hangar Bay - XX-9 Turbolasers (125)
2 • Gladiator II-class Star Destroyer - Wulff Yularen - Engine Techs - Assault Concussion Missiles - Demolisher (94)
3 • TIE Advanced Squadron (12)
4 • TIE Advanced Squadron (12)
5 • Mauler'' Mithel TIE Fighter Squadron (15)
6 • Soontir Fel TIE Interceptor Squadron (18)
7 • TIE Fighter Squadron (8)
8 • TIE Fighter Squadron (8)
9 • TIE Fighter Squadron (8)

Another alternative would be to drop the admiral, and upgrade a tie to howlrunner....

not a fan of GSD-2s and I don't think you'll find much use for it there

with so many points already chucked into fighters and interceptors, including characters, I don't see the 2 anti-squadron being particularly necessary. The one red die is a suspect addition at best, so really it just seems like 6 points that could find a home elsewhere.

you chuck that and the xx-9 turbolasers (very meh), and you could find a home for a whole nother interceptor

though, after that, I'd really recommend getting rhymer in there somewhere.

What is funny about this list is that I have been told I rely too much on Rhymer so I wanted to see what it would look like without him...I have a 2x glad list with 4bomber 4advance (one of bomber is rhymer).....I love running it

As to your posted list... Running 292/290 or did I get the math wrong? You aiming for objectives or going first.

I'd try to squeeze in the VSD2 over the 1, but I've told myself to try the VSD1 to see how it does so /shrug.

As for the the GSD2 vs 1, depends on the list. If you are shorting your fighters a tad and you have multiple auto damage like Mithel, Warlord, etc or multiple GSD2s. The GSD2 can help make up for the smaller fighter wing but won't make a big difference by itself and will restrict its movements potentially if you are running it in an AA role. Or if you run sensor teams to pull accuracies, but they do best when you can add extra black die, expanded armament, opening salvo, etc.

you know what I find funny?

the GSD has a weapon's team slot

weapon's team slot means it can take Flight Controllers
