That gives me 20 points, but for what?

Those two guys are going to be messing around dealing a whole lot of damage to themselves and opponents so is there a 20 point Imperial tank that can survive while these two yahoo's kill themselves?

Too bad you can't clone Vader and put him in a TIE Shuttle as well!

20 points is a difficult area for the empire. I have an option for you that isn't a tank, but a ship that pushes early nonsense to an even further limit: A Concussion MIssile LRS Scimitar Squadron Pilot. Could also go with a regular boring TIE Advanced generic, but I wouldn't expect it to do much.

20 points is Zeta Leader territory

I feel like of you're really going for insane damage, you need Gunner on the Decimator. Doesn't really leave any space for a 3rd ship. With that 20 points, I'd think about Howlrunner.

Howlrunner, Adaptability = 18

Patrol Leader, Gunner, Vader = 48

Quickdraw, PTL, Electronic Baffles, Mk2 Engines = 34

Patrol Leader can generate 2 attacks with a re-roll on each + Vader. Quickdraw can get re-rolls on all her attacks and still be pretty effective in non-suicide mode. Howl can be a PS9 TIE and support the others.

Oicunn is necessary because I am a bumpahokic.

Wampa??
