6 A-Wing Squadrons ( 66 points)

2 YT-2400s ( 32 points)

Never tried playing a corvette swarm before, but after my recent tournaments they are really my favourite ships to fly. Here's a first attempt at a list, would really appreciate any advice from swarm admirals! Tantive & Jaina's Light would tend to hang back and let the bare TRC90s take the fire.

How many fighters is a good amount? I can't decide if I have too many here (I can't field much more since I only have one rogues & villains pack and 2 rebel fighter packs atm).

I'm not convinced about the Raymus/Tantive combo at all, it just looks pretty fun. Regen a shield then send it elsewhere. It's a lot of points for not really that much effectiveness. Tempted to take them off, take away a fighter or 2, potentially add another CR90.

Spending Christmas coming up with new lists since I'm away from home and my regular opponent. Removing one CR90 (since currently I only have 4), removing some squads and adding an MC30.

5 A-Wing Squadrons ( 55 points)

1 Tycho Celchu ( 16 points)

I would say drop Tycho (your fighters are just a screen anyway, swap out the H9's for a title, maybe drop Lando also, and try to fit in a repair crew transport.

Try 2 MC30T, 2TRC90, 2 flotillas, cracken and squadrons to flavour (Jan ball, A's or now Z's). Spread out and don't let Gunnery team ISD's fork multiple ships
