So today I was going to be playing against my normal opponent unfortunately we ran out of time building fleets to play (I usually have several premade fleets and we choose one to use each) this time we each made our own fleets afterward he asked me my opinion on his fleet

due to potential conflict of interest I now put both fleets forward for review

(I did make a small change to his fleet adding an extra A-Wing and X-Wing to his fleet)

Now for fairness sake my own fleet

Edit: Thanks Viperous I see where I made the mistake with my list. See below

Hmm... I have absolutely no idea what a good 500 point list would look like (only have played as far as 400) so I'm no help on that front.

However, there is actually a Fleet Builds sub forum and I think that is where this ought to belong.

A few things though. Why all the GSD 2s? For the extra AA die? And that Demolisher could to with Engine techs as well as with an initiative bid. You could easily downgrade them all to GSD1s and have an Inititative bid too.

+ you haven't got anything suitable to be a carrier so you may want to reconsider some of those squadrons. Or get Firesprays for Rogue instead.

With the Rebels I feel that TRC + Mothma is a bad idea as you want to spend the evade for TRC but then Mothma becomes pretty useless for the AFS, so it's one or the other for me. If you had Walex on one with TRC then maybe that would work.

You don't really need the YT, so I would consider another Scurrg.

With so many squads I would consider dropping the AFA to a B and adding Boosted comms over Hangar bay

I'm not sure about Cluster Bombs either, so Advanced Projectors maybe.

Drop Rapid Reload for ACM/APT.
