Ok so I wish I could play as many lists as I create but this one I'm gonna try and make sure it sees the table top. This list focus is on using Cracker and Blount to boost and support 3 bandits vIA swarm tactics and squad leader. I picked cluster missles to help ensure I knock out or seriously cripple what I shoot at aND i rrally lover adv homingmissles. This is a swarm so I'm not to worried about swarms. I think I have covered my bases but what weaknesses do you guys see.

Z-95 Headhunter: · Lieutenant Blount

My only Swiss Rounds loss at Regionals this year was to a list similar to yours.

I recommend using Concussion Missiles instead of AHMs or Clusters to pair with Airen Cracken's Cluster Missiles.

In order for your list to succeed, your alpha strike is reliant on a very tight engagement range. Cluster Missiles range 1-2 with AHMs range 2 (behind, I'm assuming) is already pretty restricting. If you ran Concussion Missiles instead, you'd get significantly more overlap between the Clusters (1-2) and Conc (2-3 from behind). Not to mention you'll be dealing way more damage with Concussions. AHMs and Clusters are just too unreliable with only 3 reds and no special modifiers with exception to Blount.

Here's what I suggest which is similar to what you had in mind:

Airen Cracken

Swarm Tactics

Cluster Missiles

Hull Upgrade

Lieutenant Blount

Squad Leader

Advanced Homing Missiles

Tala Squadron x 2

Concussion Missiles

Bandit Squadron

Concussion Missiles

Hope that helps!

That's much more gooder! But I'm considering dropping squad leader in favor of VI since squad leader is an action.

I agree, VI might be better for Blount. You can use that extra point to upgrade the Bandit to a Tala too. Your other option is to downgrade all three to Bandits and give them Munition Failsafes, but I don't think it's necessary.

Well I was thinking of leaving the one point bid for int. Since cracken will be bringing the Bandit up to ps8 with swarm.

Ya good idea. That PS8 99-point bid might not win you initiative very often, but it could certainly be the difference against 100-pt VI Brobots or a 100-pt Corran list.
