I plan to attend a store championship this saturday (if my family permits) and i just can't decide which list to take... i have 2 rebel and 2 imperial builds to choose from... so maybe some one of you will give me a hand... from what i gather all kind of Rhymer/Fire Ball's are main theme in my area also there are some people playing Ackbar.

First List to choose from is a Rebel Mon Mothma MSU (remeber i only use the cards i have) with high initiative bid if i would have more TRC i would drop slaved turrets and intel officer from Salvation and add a TRC there and one TRC to one of the frigates i also think about changing one of those frigates to Torpedo Variant:

Thats it for the rebels i will post the empire lists later... im really curious how those list would fare against fire/rhymer ball?

The line goes like this:

Rhymer Ball beats Max Ship Ackbar which beats Max Ship non Ackbar....

Add a few X's with Jan, or some YT2400's to your lists and its a whole different story. Currently in your meta, your making your life difficult for yourself. Of course if you fly well you will still win anyway.

As an aside, I prefer Walex with Admonition and Lando with Foresight.

Thanks for the feedback but is Rhymer so bad for the Mon Mothma list??? my enemy will have just 2 capital ships and when they are dead rhymer also dies... i just discovered that if i would be able to get more TRC its like 10 damage from all of my ships... a turn with use of just one red die per ship!!!!

If you can kill the rhymer capital ships fast then you can win. To make it easier, tie their squadrons up with a token fighter wing! A third TRC on the Salvation would not go amiss to be sure.

Best way is to try it and see.

Yes well thats the only store i may attempt to visit so i need to be in TOP 8 the 5 ship rebel list is different and looks fun to play im a bit worried about damage output but i did some changes basing on the cards i will have Im not sure of those intel officers and X17's on MC 30's

I ran a similar setup in my Store Champ. but ran torpedo mc30's with TRC's instead of xi7's and came in fourth. The other difference was that I didn't take intel officer and fit in some token A wings for blocking. Names on the MC30's will help them live a lot longer as well, at least Foresight.

Ahhh yes im dumb the fleet builder deleted the titles... well the near final version of the roster... i will not get a 4th TRC:( so will just use 3

Faction: Rebel Alliance

I also think about swaping the intel officers on the corvettes for X17's on the Frigates to block my opponent redirects... also wonder how this list works against Ackbar

Ok im after the turnament... took the following list:

Faction: Rebel Alliance
Points: 380/400

Commander: Mon Mothma

Assault Objective: Opening Salvo
Defense Objective: Hyperspace Assault
Navigation Objective: Minefields

[ flagship ] CR90 Corvette A (44 points)
- Mon Mothma ( 30 points)
- Jainas Light ( 2 points)
- Turbolaser Reroute Circuits ( 7 points)

CR90 Corvette A (44 points)
- Turbolaser Reroute Circuits ( 7 points)

CR90 Corvette A (44 points)
- Turbolaser Reroute Circuits ( 7 points)

MC30c Scout Frigate (69 points)
- Foresight ( 8 points)
- Intel Officer ( 7 points)
- Ordnance Experts ( 4 points)
- Turbolaser Reroute Circuits ( 7 points)
- Assault Proton Torpedoes ( 5 points)

MC30c Torpedo Frigate (63 points)
- Admonition ( 8 points)
- Intel Officer ( 7 points)
- Ordnance Experts ( 4 points)
- Expanded Launchers ( 13 points)

Eventualy landed at 3rd place with games:

- 8:2 against Ackbar MC80, AFMKIIB, CR90 with some casual fighters

- 2:8 against a nasty imperial build ISD II, 2x Raider I 4 or 5 Firesprays Boba and Bossk... i was really unlucky killed on Raider and Adamonition died from a ISD II and squadron attacks... needed just one less damage to survive

- 9:1 against Imperials ISD I 2 Gladiators and Raider...

The list has a great potential... but when i encounter bombers i can just cry:(
