Hi all, first post, very new to Armada but very enthusiastic.

Am interested to try out the cheap and cheerful Y-Wing in a Zerg Rush format, using Assault Frigates with Expanded Hangar Bays to full effect.

Could be fun?

++ Rebel Fleet (Standard) (298pts) ++

Assault Frigate Mark IIB (120pts) [Electronic Countermeasures, Expanded Hangar Bay, X17 Turbolasers, •Mon Mothma]
Assault Frigate Mark IIB (98pts) [Electronic Countermeasures, Expanded Hangar Bay, X17 Turbolasers, •Gallant Haven]

8x Y-Wing Squadron (80pts)

8 Y-Wings will take a lot of killing before the go down, though watch out for large groups of TIE fighters. The TIEs are cheaper, get the Swarm advantage, and since your Ys are Heavy the TIEs can escape once damaged.

Any thoughts on objectives? With all those bombers Precision Strikes could be useful, as could Superior Positions as the fighters are mobile enough to get into the rear arc. Not sure what you'd want for your final objective, probably Contested Outpost or Fire Lanes to control their movement.
