Just wondering if 4 of these would be effective or not. Basically mini interceptors.

Baron of the Empire 19

Title 1

PTL 3

Autothrusters 2

They might have more bite with juke instead of PTL, but I thought that the lower PS might require the evade token to be spent before it could attack.

Juke. Otherwise you have too much trouble cutting through an ace's defense with only 2 dice on the attack. Even if one or two have to spend their evade tokens, the others should still have it and can use it.

That being said, I dunno about the list. It feels a bit... underwhelming. Yes, it's a surprisingly defensive squad, but lacks offensive punch.

I thought about this for a minute as well except maybe with TIE Mk.II instead of AT. Just for a minute though. I think a five TAP swarm with Prockets, title and Guidence Chips would be better.

Gonna guess no

2 dice really isn't viable as a list cornerstone without at least five

And I mean five with extra antidice tech like Omega L, Zeta L, crackshots or prockets

2 dice are simply too much of a gamble v 3 agility, never mind aces

And juke won't see you through either with soonts/poe not giving a ****. You're going to need the magnificent omega L for that

I agree with everything you said ficklegreendice, except for poe not caring. Even with autothrusters and a shield regened a turn, if four juking ties (of any variety) turned in on him.. I'm almost certain he dies.definetly at range one. Range 2 if dice behave he's dead. Range 3 it would get iffy.

It's two duce on two dice, juke essentially worthless unless he rolls natural focus

He will be fine unless at range 1

You can only have a MAX of 4 juke omegas (+1 academy). Not great odds that you'll be able to focus them all on poe at a range shorter than 3 (at which he doesn't care)

hmmmmmm you can almost fit 3 juke barons with jax. Well you can, but you'd have to drop 3 points somewhere

You CAN just fit 3 juke omegas with jax

Doesn't make it easier to flyv though. Jax's fragile and low PS, makes range 1 a dangerous game

Actually brought carnor and 3 juke omegas to a store champ. Placed 4th. Lost at top 4 to scum junk. 2 ship lists stood no chance. Most rebel lists were not at all happy, since they typically had 2 possibly 1 natural evade. All said went 3 and 2 that day. One game loss at top 4 and one before the cut. Before the cut dice really misbehaved on the loss. It's a good list as long as you can reliably keep all 3 omegas pointed at the same target, and come to terms that Jax will die.
