Hi Guys,

A group of us are going to do a series of Tournaments the first on in a couple of weeks and each will also provide seeding for the later tournaments and I have narrowed my choice down to a couple of list and are wondering if any one can help with my choice and any recommendations would be welcome as we would normally play for fun except in Tournaments as we run quit a few through our local gaming club. Here are the lists:


Imp Aces


The Inquisitor - 25

Adaptability - 0

Tie/V1 - 1


Tomax Bren - 24

Crack Shot - 1

Extra Munitions - 2

Proton Torpedoes - 4

Concussion Missile- 4

Guidance Chips - 0


Maarek Stele - 35

Marksmanship - 3

Tie/x7 - -2


Total - 97 Points


Brobots


IG-88C - 36

Daredevil - 3

Accuracy Corrector - 3

Autoblaster - 5

Inertial Dampeners - 1

IG-2000 - 0


Autothrusters - 2

IG-88D - 36

Daredevil - 3

Accuracy Corrector - 3

Autoblaster - 5

Inertial Dampeners - 1

IG-2000 - 0

Autothrusters - 2


Total - 100 Points

In my opinion (which isn't worth much!) Push the Limit on the Inquisitor and Autothrusters on both Aggressors are the 'mandatory' changes you'd be looking to start with. What upgrades do you have? If you have a Heavy Laser Cannon that is golden on an IG, then swap out IG-88D for IG-88B. This will give you more 'punch' on at least one ship in case not every list you come up against is a Palp Ace's list.

Also on the first list that's a lot of ordnance on a six health ship. Maybe re-arm Tomax a little and that will free up some points to spend on the inquisitor. Without the ability to 'turtle' (take focus and evade tokens for defence) he'll go 'pop' pretty quickly too.

I'm not well-versed at Aces but I enjoy using Brobots. I think that even without HLC, you would still be better off using IG-88B instead of D if you're using the autoblasters.
