Madness? THIS. IS. SQUADRONS!

What do you guys think of this list? Its pretty maxed on squadrons and squadron support.

SHIPS Squadrons

Assault Frigate MKII B: (72) Jan Ors Moldy Crow (19)

Paragon (5) (X3) X-Wings (39)

Turbolaser Reroute circuits (7) Wedge Antilles (19)

Luke Skywalker (20)

Nebulon-B Escort: (57) Dutch Vander (16)

Yavaris (5) Y-Wing Squadron (10)

Nebulon-B Support/Refit: (51)

Redemption (8)

Projection Experts (6)

CR90B: (39)

Dodonna's Pride (6)

Ship Total: 278 Squadron Total: 123

Fleet Total: 399

Support Refit Neb acts as a pocket medic. It can use its red dice but also hand out shields to a ship that needs them. Whale does long range damage while Squadrons + Yavaris + Dodonna's Pride go for the hits/crits on ships. Whaddaya think?

Who is your admiral? Dodonna? Also, adding up the ships and upgrades, I get 256 for your ships, not 278?

Otherwise, out of the gate, I would suggest losing the Paragon title in favor of ECMs for the AF. Paragon is difficult to trigger without careful maneuvering. On the other hand, ECMs are always useful to help keep your carrier alive and continuing to order your squadrons around.

Just my two cents :-)

Has potential, but I've been underwhelmed by the Redemption/Projection Experts combo in the past few games when I've used it. Part of the problem is the high number of dice flying across the table - 2 shields just doesn't seem like very much. Ships blow up quickly in the face of ISD- and Ackbar- level firepower, 2 extra shields or not. It might work if you continually pump Yavaris...

Your squadron setup looks set to win, though I'd be tempted to upgrade the Y-wing to another X-wing. Perhaps drop Paragon to do that and get a slightly higher initiative?

Who's your Commander?

Whoops! It's Dodonna! He's included in that point total, I just forgot to add him to the post. I figure with all those bombers I'll be looking for crits, and at only 20 points he helps me fit in more bangs and whistles.

Definitely see your point about the Redemption ... It's REAL expensive for something thats just going to keep Yavaris around. I might drop that and the Y-wing to try and fit in an MC30 of some variety
