Looking at 2 variations for getting virtually speed 5 B wings. The idea is to get a single activation flinging as many Bs as possible into the enemy. Yavaaris looses utility with the AFFM fleet command because...well because you'd have to move them to get the effect and thus lose the double tap. But an FCT move plus a speed 3 activation (assuming flight commander) gets close to speed 5 with a BCC, Toryn Far-ed, 2-dice bomber.
First variation gets the most squadrons in a single activation (MC80), second variation gets multiple fleet commands and almost as high a squadron activation in a single go. First suffers in activations, second in fragility. But honestly, speed 5 Bs. Something is going to die. Assuming they're not engaged. And the objectives play very well into making up for weaknesses. Thoughts?
Also, as an aside, while developing this, I saw potential synergy between Sato and the Close Range Intel Scan objective. Trade out for blues. Toryn Far fish for the accuracy. Free points for you
