...and the only cure is More Tarkin!

Tarkin Time

Faction: Galactic Empire

[ flagship ] Victory II-Class Star Destroyer (85 points)

I think Tarkin needs more cow bell...

Strategy - Navigate with everyone while Tarkin tosses enough squadron tokens to activate everyone through Jendon.

Not flashy, but just dumb enough to work.

That title made me sad...

And so did the list. Man, Biggs, this just... I don't see it. Do you plan to turtle up and pseudo-rogue the squadrons around? I mean, you're kind of locked into doing that anyway, with an upgunned VSD in there. I dunno, I'd love to see how you envision this playing out on the table, cause I just don't see it.

I think that to utilize Tarkin at his best, you may want to add those Engine Techs. An example list that I tried recently and was pleasantly surprised with it's performance:

I used Tarkin to a similar effect with a 4 Glad list I used to run. With a nav token to trigger ET every round, you were free to throw cf or engineering as needed

How about Centicore instead of Jendon, and then intel officers with the savings?

Potentially better, depending on how he plans to run it. Though that does require Centicore to be in the thick of it--which may not be compatible with his ideas--whereas Jendon does not.
