Four of us make up Saber Squadron using a BTL4 Y-wing, Torpedo Y-wing, Torpedo X-wing and another X-wing with barrel roll.

Firstly. we have made slight variations to HOTAC that really change the game. For example we do what we call an AI assist. Meaning when the AI does a redicoulus move that no sane player would make, we have the enemy ships do a manuver that actually makes sense. Another change we made was that we can give the general direction our own ships are going but we cant say the excact maneuver to our fellow squad mates. Seems like a more realistic battle that way. The two changes make it a very even playing field for both sides. The mistakes we made was firstly we had the imperials move and shoot first for the first half of the game. That was a big one. The second was that we were not taking enemy ships off the board fast enough and soon Saber Squadron was caught in a perfectly exicuted trap as enemy reinforcements arrived right behind us twice.

It was a back and forth battle as we took out some of their ships and they took out two X-wings. It is hard to survive when the X-wings were being focused down. In the end, the sabers lasted until turn ten with two Y-wings. The two X-wing pilots ejected safely and the cost of losing a Ion torpedo. Their next mission is to capture an Imperial officer.

Another mistake to watch out for, I had extra munitions and guidance chips on my y-wing. In HOTAC, extra munitions counts as a modification so you cant have both.
