Too many B's?

By Zero_Outcome, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

Hello everyone,

Although it can be hard to analyze fleet building in a vacuum, I wanted people's opinion of my bomber heavy list to see if it's a little too bomber heavy (i.e., needs more anti-fighter support). Here's the list:

Total: 395

MC80 Command Cruiser (106)

Garm Bel Iblis (25)

Walex Blissex (5)

Boosted Comms (4)

Electronic Countermeasures (7)

Independence (8)

Nebulon-B Escort Frigate (57)

Yavaris (5)

Nebulon-B Support Refit (51)

Salvation (7)

Keyan Farlander (20)

B-wing Squadron (14)

B-wing Squadron (14)

B-wing Squadron (14)

YT-1300 (13)

Scurrg H-6 (16)

Scurrg H-6 (16)

X-Wing Squadron (13)

Objectives: Precision Strike, Hyperspace Assault, & Superior Positions.

Other words of note: I'll use Garm to give the Independence and Yavaris squadron token on round 1. I usually stick both H-6s and the X-wing with the Yavaris and the B's and YT-1300 by the Independence. On round 1, I use the squadron command with token to slingshot all B's and the YT-1300 towards some ships with the idea that the YT-1300 should soak up most of the anti-fighter damage being directed towards my B swarm. In the same manner, I use the X-wing to guard my Scurrg H-6s.

I know I'm probably vulnerable to getting tied down to a few too many rounds and I've only play this set once against a no squadron build (which this list annihilated). Any thoughts or critiques would be appreciated.

You already said it: you're very easy to tie down. Jan is awesome. Find some room for Jan :)

I'd drop the Scruugs and X-wing, then add Tycho, Jan and An A-wing.

Id recommend trying to tie a turbolaser onto salvation. Maybe TLRC if you have it, otherwise i've found slaved turrets to carry potential, x17 is worth it and so on. Just something to complement the increased odds of rolling double hits on every die.
