I need to bash together a Rebel Fleet for an upcoming 400pt tournament. The problem is that I mostly prefer to play Imperial... so any help from my new found friend on the Alliance Side is welcomed...

I am thinking of going for a MC80 + 2 Assault Frigates because as an Imperial player I fear those ships.

Here what I came up with:

[ REBEL FLEET (398 points)]

1 • MC80 Command Cruiser - Admiral Ackbar - Electronic Countermeasures - Leading Shots - XI7 Turbolasers - Home One (168)
2 • Assault Frigate Mark II B - Gunnery Team - Electronic Countermeasures - H9 Turbolasers - Paragon (99)
3 • Assault Frigate Mark II B - Gunnery Team - Boosted Comms - Electronic Countermeasures - H9 Turbolasers (98)
4 • A-wing Squadron (11)
5 • A-wing Squadron (11)
6 • A-wing Squadron (11)

Do you think it is viable? Should I swap one of the AF for a CR90 or a Nebulon-B? What would you do differently?

Why H9? because the idea is to use them + Home One to by-pass any ECM.

Any help would be breatly appreciated.

Drop the H9s from the frigates as home makes them redundant, paragon is also unlikely to see use with ackbar and gunnery teams, so I would loose that as well. Stick your boosted comms on home one.

With your 2 point initiative bid you now have an extra 23 points for some more fighters, you have a lot of fighter activations in this list so use them....

I would think about lossing the xi7 as this list is focusing on damage output and getting engine techs on home one, for ensuring it can stay with the frigates and giving extra movement to get the side arc on.....

So add 2 awings and engine tech, lose h9s, xi7 and paragon.

This is the fleet I used to win a store championship. I only used nav and engineering commands to keep my targets in arc and keep the shield up on my mc80. Jan and the xwings using her braces are just enough to keep enemy squads tied up for a few rounds ( as long as they have no Intel)
