Hello all, looking for feedback on a rebel bomber list I've tossed together. I got smoked by an imperial rhymer list in our CC so I wanted to try a rebel version. Thanks!

I like everything except the Pelta. I've tried and tried to get this thing to work. It does its job, but does it at 40more pts than it should and can't really maneuver, can't take a shot, can't shoot back very well, it just is too unwieldy. I think you're better off grabbing an Assault Frigate for 95pts and using that to do the same thing.

Why one B wing? wouldnt another VCX make more sense? that way all your squadrons are the same speed

I agree with the Assault frigate, other than your bombers 1 cr90 is not alot of backup

cheers

I would actually ask "why only one B-Wing?". With Yavaris, quantity is more important than quality...mostly because it turns quality into quantity. They also combo well with Norra because the double dice give them a better shot at the criticals. Then again, I may be the only person who uses B-Wing, so grain of salt and all that.

EDIT: Also, put Raymus on Yavaris, 3 quadrons double tapping better than 2 and such
