4 activations, 6 deployments, ok objectives. My only gripe is to maybe move Garm onto another ship, but he should be well protected when flown right, even if my opponent flies well (flying behind AFs, obstructed for majority of game, evades, redundant shields, Redemption)
The name of the game is "Tokens" and slow rolling. Lots of red dice, but it is an attempt to bring both Garm and Redemption into viability. Multiple rerolls from CF tokens gained by Garm and Vet. Captains should help out the AFs (3 free rerolls, if they make it to the 5th round!).
Engineering tokens on the AFs (guaranteed on 1st and 5th rounds) get 3 points with Redemption anywhere in a 2' diameter. Vet. Captains give flexibility to choose either CF or Engineering tokens based on situation.
The Flagship stays mostly in the background, acting as a medic and potentially saving ships with Leia's ability. Redundant Shields and Redemption's extra point keeps the medic ability viable. (Props to whomever posted the "Tortoise and Hare" fleet for the medic idea)
Flying Redmption between the 2 AFs should give it that side arc protection.
Squadron selection is versatile for greatly hindering enemy wings and threatening ships. Should be suitable. (Props to Vergilius for those squadrons)
