Hey all!

So I picked this game up about a week ago and my first two games besides my learning game were in a local tournament. The list I took wasn't great just something I threw together the night before.

It was

398/400 points

Comander

Darth Vader

Ships

Imperial II Class Star Destroyer x2

Gunnery Team

XI7 Turbo Lasers

Squadrons

Tie Fighter x10

Major Rhymer

Now I of course lost both of my games pretty miserably. However the thing that surprised me the most was how much work the tie fighters did. Everything I had read and all the advice friends had given me said fighters were bad. They were doing about 5-6 damage to a ship on turns I used squadron commands. In fact I think had I just squadron commanded every turn instead of nav commanding I might have won one of my games. In the second game they managed to score me 9 victory tokens from attacking the rears of ships pretty much the only points I got in that game. So this got me thinking if I built my list around supporting my fighters a bit maybe it would be a bit more solid. After a few hours on feet builder I came up with this.

396/400 points

Comander

Admeral Motti

Ships

Imperial II Class Star Destroyer x2

Boosted Comms

Leading Shots

XI7 Turbo Lasers

Squadrons

Tie Fighter x8

Jump Master x2

Major Rhymer

So Motti and leading shots gives me 6 more hull and pseudo vader for cheaper. The boosted comms ensures that I should be able to use my full four squadrons every command. and the Jump master should keep them from getting tied up for a few turns by other fighters allowing for them to keep attacking ships. I might switch the fighters to bombers but I feel that the fighters might be a bit more flexible. So any advice would be greatly appreciated.
