Ugly as sin but let's admit it 4 AFII + Ackbar must pack a serious punch.

Assault Frigate Swarm

[ REBEL FLEET (394 points)]
1 • Assault Frigate Mark II B - Admiral Ackbar - Intel Officer - Electronic Countermeasures - XI7 Turbolasers (130)
2 • Assault Frigate Mark II B - Intel Officer - Electronic Countermeasures - XI7 Turbolasers (92)
3 • Assault Frigate Mark II B - Gunnery Team - Electronic Countermeasures (86)
4 • Assault Frigate Mark II B - Gunnery Team - Electronic Countermeasures (86)

What do you think? Can you come with something nastier?

Bòooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooring

100% agree... hence the Tournament in the title. I would never bring this for casual play.

Boring but effective and I am interested with what people will come up as alternative when what matters is winning... and not making friends

I have ran 4 whales before with Akbar. The only way it won't get crushed is to go with 4 mark A's and Gunnery Teams and your flag ship gets ECM Akabar Gunnery Team 397/400.

You need the Mark A's or your whales are lunch for Rhymer and Friends

This. Your four blue AF dice will do nothing against a Rhymerball, which can be launched at you from outside of Red range by Boosted Comms. Two or three rounds of that, then the enemy fleet comes in to finish off what's left.
