Here's a Rebel list I've been tinkering with lately. I think it might be what I'll bring with me to the tournament. Looking for some additional thoughts and ideas.

Assault Frigate Mark II B:

- General Dodonna

- Gunnery Teams (should I bring Intel Officers instead?)

- Advanced Projectors

- Enhanced Armament

- Defense Liasons

As said above, I'm thinking of bringing in Intel Officers instead of Gunnery Teams. And, Advanced Projectors is seeming less useful than I was thinking with Intel Officers and XI7s all over the place. I also have an alternate list which includes a Corvette with stripped down frigates. The activation flexibility would be great, but I'm not a huge fan of corvettes.

Remember Adv.Projectors allows you to redirect 3 damage from an XI7 attack - as long as they are all to different hull zones.

Well the biggest issue that Rebels have is that they don't have a dedicated punch like the Imperials have. Being able to hit 2 targets with one arc helps mitigate this and let's you weaken the enemy ships before getting knocked out.

It's one of the reasons I'm excited for Home One/whateverthenameis. That thing has the dice to put out some serious damage. I am starting to think Imperials have an edge strictly in tournament play just because they can win by large margins, I think Rebels have a much harder time at that. Winning they can certainly do, but a full table wipe is unlikely I think.

Gunnery Team is the way to go I would say. Otherwise I like it!
