Lancer vs YT-2400 spam: anyone run 8 yet?

By DUR, in Star Wars: Armada

For those of you well funded Admirals, have you hit the table with 8 x lancer yet?

My thoughts are that they'd go pop too easily (outside of Ketsu's scatter)... and are even more vulnerable to squadron commanded TIE's and X's. Bomber is juicy, but marginal outside of BCC's relative to the YT-2400's black die and if you're counting on Norra enhancement, you might as well run non-rogues (at least, that's my thinking?) Or, perhaps it'd be a good idea to split the difference (4 YT's, 4 lancers?)

If you do 8 Lancers you could also squeeze in Rogue Squadron, so there's that. :)

I ran 6 Lancers and 2 Xwings with Bomber command vs someone who (unbeknownst to me) had decided to bring an all ship imperial list.

On the one hand, this means it's not a fair comparison with an anti-squadron YT2400 fleet.

On the other, I never saw a Demolisher die so fast :D

do as I did! 2 lancers, 1 rogue squadron, 2 X-Wing and Hera to make the 2 X-Wings rogue! I'll test the list soon.
