Hello all,
I have been struggling to come up with a list with a VSD and two Gladiators. I'd like it to be somewhat competitive and I just cannot figure it out. I'm guessing I want at least 4 activation but that leaves me with no room for squadrons (which I was hoping to command with a carrier VSD) and if I only do 3 I feel like I will be out activated. I'd like a Rhymer ball but I just don't know what to do. Can someone perhaps hash out a list or some sort of advice for me please?
You mean this list?
It can be tailored to taste, but that 12 pt bid is pretty decent, so you might want to keep it.
Possible tweaks:
- put Tua and RBD on Demo
- same, but on VSD and make possibly it your flagship (or take ECM instead of RBD)
- drop Jonus, but take Ciena instead
- Instigator
Many options. But this is a solid, 5-activation core to build from
Motti and his GSD buddies

All what you want:
- 1 VSD + 2 GSD
- 5 activations
- Rhymer ball
You have room to change the squadron configuration and the bid. You can feed the glads with navigation tokens to CF with them every round.
Sorry but I have the app in Spanish. I think it won't be a problem anyway. XD

So this list looks really cool, but I am curious as to why you take Motti over Screed? Also, why do you take any squadrons at all? I am really new and I am trying to understand the reasons behind certain choices.

Motti gives this list a lot of extra hull. But if you fancy screed, just swap.
Squads because jonus and gsd2. And valen can hide behind him. And yes, you will need a few squads, unless your have say 7 activations and some skills. So those 2 give both an offensive trick, and can be used to delay enemy squadrons.

Thank you for the explanation! If I was to swap out Jonus could I just make the II's I's? I could then make a small fighter screen.
This is what I got so far:

Quite like it - it's not strong vs squads, but with skillful play this list can do well enough.
Precision strike instead of most wanted? Why?
This is the 400pt version of my CC list. I'm not a usual imperial player, but I'm having a blast with a version of the following list.
It takes some patience to play because you rely on the Gladiators for AA to protect your Rhymerball, but anything coming close enough has to deal with either the Glad AA or the Glad's main (black dice) attacks with Jonus. The Raider with Flechettes is VERY fragile so he is hard to use, but it's REALLY effective if he's able to shoot at an enemy fighter ball. The objectives are hidden because I haven't shown those to our CC opponents yet.
It has no VSD, but the shuttle and Tarkin allow you to easily command the ball with the other ships. My CC version has another Glad and Screed for more consistent black dice.

I went ahead and fixed that! It was a misclick.
