Hello!
After a couple games as Rebels I fell in love with the absurd maneuverability and speed of the smaller rebel ships. I've come up with two lists for Regionals, both full of little fun ships that pack a punch. Both lists revolve around 2x MC30 Torpedo Frigates with Proton Torpedoes and Ordinance Experts and 4x Corvettes with TRC. Mon Mothma is there to help take advantage of the fact that all of my ships have two evade tokens each, hopefully keeping my fragile little ships alive. However, i'm torn about what to do with the last 22 points in my list.

In the first list, I'm using 2x A-Wing fighters to help protect my ships from Bombers- they should be able to tie them up for a round or two while I concentrate on knocking out their capital ships. However, I'm not sure if it is totally necessary to bring fighter support. In the second list, I used the extra points to upgrade my MC30's with both titles & Lando, which should help them survive their initial attack run. I also put Jaina's Light on my Flagship, allowing me to screen it behind another CR90.

What is more important? Increasing the durability of my MC30's and Flagship, or getting some interceptors to keep the enemy bombers away?

In my opinion (and having used a veeery similar list to win a store champ), the titles are going to do WAY more for you in the way of fighter protection (and surviveability in general) than 2 A Wings. The extra deployment from the A Wings is more helpful, but you really can do without it.

However, you will probably want to find a way to drop down AT LEAST 10 points for a bid. I went two MC30s/three CR90s and YT2400s instead of A-Wings for the Rogue. Those lists like going first. I also think Fire Lanes (I've come around to it, Dras, its a good mission) would better suit you than Hyperspace Assault unless you have some sort of plan.

I agree that the MC30 titles will probably do more for you than 2 a-wings. More deployments are always useful, but less important when all of your ships are fast and maneuverable. If you want a 10 point bid like Caldias suggests, I would try dropping Admonition and Jaina's Light. Foresight is too good with Mon Mothma, and Lando by himself can make a huge difference- if you're lucky.

Alternatively, keep it all and take Rieekan instead of Mon Mothma. Enjoy second player advantage with zombie ships.

I was thinking about Rieekan instead of Mothma, after re-reading the ability it seems like a nice way to negate the fragility of the MC30's. Mothma is great for the CR90s, but the MC30's wouldn't get much use if they are charging into close range. It's a tough decision, but the more I think about it, the more I like Rieekan.

Foresight is great with MM, but for anything else I say trade it out for Lando.

I use Dodonna in my version of this archetype, which means I have to rely entirely on individual ship upgrades to keep my shrimp alive. I run Admonition on one and Lando on the other, and rarely lose either. The trick is playing them to their strengths: Admonition will survive way longer than she has any business doing against squadrons and other smaller attacks, and Lando can grin smarmily and weather one big shot that would kill any other small ship. If you use this to your advantage, any other defensive upgrade is really just gravy. Facing a mess of squadrons? Take Admonition directly at them to hit a carrier while skirting Lando around the flank for a follow-up shot. Two ISD's? No problem, flank with Admonition and then barrel in with Lando... Just make **** sure he doesn't take a second shot!

Your weakness will be getting out-deployed. It won't happen too often, but when it does, it will usually be a squadron list that does it, which means you'll have a hard time getting to the carrier fast. Figure out how to adjust your play to account for that.

It's not an easy fleet to fly, but it's very rewarding to watch an ISD or MC80 melt like butter under a well-executed MC30 firestorm. Good luck!

Definitely defense instead of the A-wings. A bid is always nice. It really depends upon your comfort level with going second. I find that I'm able to play second comfortably, so I don't like a huge big, but I also don't play exactly at 400. 394-396 is good.

I use both. Rieekan is CAPABLE of going 2nd, but that doesn't mean he doesn't also like going 1st. I'm coming at this from an all comers perspective, and black dice ship REALLY like going first against red/blue dice ships in my experience.

Thanks for all the advice on this list. I've taken your suggestions into account and came up with the list below. I swapped out Mothma with Rieekan, as I feel that his ability would be more useful when working with MC30's that would be attempting to get into close range with the enemy fleet. I upgraded the two MC30's to boost their defense, which should hopefully let them stay alive as they rush the enemy's capital ships. I also went for a 10 point bid, which is aggressive without really keeping me from getting any vital upgrades.

Very nice! I wish you well at your regional. One minor thing to mention is Opening Salvo nets half points to anyone who has a ship with one damage card on it, and 2/3 of your fleet has ships that are incapable of getting rid of a damage card without a token. I think Most Wanted is the objective for you, especially since you get to cherry-pick your opponent's big juicy target. More points for you. Anyway, worth thinking about.

I agree with Caldias, I'd go Most Wanted. Advanced Gunnery is also fun to stick in this list: a double side arc from a built-up MC30 will ruin anybody's day. And because you don't have an MC80 or ISD, some suckers will even pick it!

I'm not sold on your yellow either. You don't have a ton of red dice, and you rely on your maneuverability, which means your opponent can bum rush the objectives and make it pretty hard for you to hold it. I personally like Hyperspace Assault with the MC30, but there's definitely an art to playing it, so if you're not comfortable with it, Firing Lanes is probably the best you can do.

I am an advocate for Dodonna as well. You need to plan for first player a bit more but he works out well. . .I should try Lando out though. . . hmmmmm
