So, I've played the quick game with my girlfriend and to help my get some experience I've entered a 64 player charity event on Saturday. First disaster being that I can't use my tie defender as it has no real cards. (I bought it with the box set not knowing the absence of cards was an issue). I thus have the 2 ties from the core set, a tie interceptor, imperial aces and assuming it arrives in time a tie advanced. The event is hanger format so I need two lists. This is my first, it comes in at 99pts.

Boontime Fel (30pts)

Royal Tie

Push the limit

Saber Squadron (23pts)

Swarm Tactics

Alpha Squadron (18pts)

Black Squadron (15pts) x 2

Any suggestions? My second list will basically probably be the same but with the tie advanced, unless someone can give me some advice on a better use of my resources!

Hmm, tough one with the limited expansions:

Soontir Fel (35)
TIE Interceptor (27), Royal Guard TIE (0), Push the Limit (3), Targeting Computer (2), Hull Upgrade (3)

Carnor Jax (31)
TIE Interceptor (26), Push the Limit (3), Royal Guard TIE (0), Targeting Computer (2)

“Mauler Mithel” (21)
TIE Fighter (17), Opportunist (4)

Academy Pilot (12)

So, you now have PTL soontir and jax who are both offensive with the targeting computer. Soontir with a hull upgrade. The academy is your blocker, your life saver, your MVP. Put him where you DONT want your opponent. Mauler is a range 1 beast. He gets 5 dice at range 1 if the enemy does not have a focus or evade token (also known as get behind a party bus and rip it to shreds). You have two ships firing before him, plus a blocker. So he can do it! Plus, they cant take a focus or evade if they are range 1 of carnor. Plus if they assume Carnor is PTL into range 1, they take a TL instead of focus or evade. Lots of opportunities for...opportunist.

You have no stealth or autothrusters, so pray you dont go up against a bunch of turrets

Thank for this, yeah my resources are limited because of the haphzard way I have been buying things off ebay!

If you like the interceptor and plan on playing in tournaments then I would get a starviper asap for the auto thrusters. And the tie adv wants the title, eBay sells the pair for around $10 or $15. Then you could be running trip aces.

Sadly in the UK the autothruster is £7 on ebay, which I'm not paying for a card, I probably will just have to suck it up and buy the starviper

Assuming my local store has one in stock I'm going to get a Star Viper tonight, what should I change out to accommodate the auththrusters?

Personally, I would take Targeting off both interceptors for autothrusters (I think there are two in the starviper). If I'm wrong put it on Fel.

Definitely two autothrusters in there

personaly i like running fel with PTL, autothrusters, and targeting computer, bit pricy at 34 pts but it's what works best for me
