Navigation Objective: Superior Positions

[ flagship ] Modified Pelta-class Command Ship (60 points)
- General Dodonna ( 20 points)
- Boosted Comms ( 4 points)
- All Fighters, Follow Me! ( 5 points)
= 89 total ship cost

MC30c Torpedo Frigate (63 points)
- Admonition ( 8 points)
- Walex Blissex ( 5 points)
- Ordnance Experts ( 4 points)
- H9 Turbolasers ( 8 points)

GR-75 Medium Transports (18 points)

GR-75 Medium Transports (18 points)
- Leia Organa ( 3 points)
- Comms Net ( 2 points)

6 B-Wing Squadrons ( 84 points)
2 YT-1300s ( 26 points)
2 HWK-290s ( 24 points)

Here is a bomber list I have been toying with that has:

-"All Fighters, Follow Me!" to give a speed boost to the B-wings when needed.

-BCC and Toryn Farr to give ridiculous rerolls.

-Admonition as flanker that can push crits through.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

The only thing I would consider is trying to get a Fight Coordination Teams on the Pelta. That can really help those B-Wings get to where they need to be. Then I feel you'd get more benefit out of Expanded Hangars rather than Boosted Comms. So my recommendations would likely be this:

Drop Walex and Boosted Comms
Add Fighter Coordination Teams and Expanded Hangars to the Pelta. Nets you 1 Point

If you really want that beautiful Alpha strike with 4 B Wings, Switch out Leia for a Fight Commander on the Pelta. Then your B-Wings are moving Speed 4+ (1+3) when you activate the Pelta with AFFM.

Then put Skilled First Officer on the MC30.

Takes care of not having Leia, since you're probably always pushing squads on the Pelta anyway

Solid list. I've flown one that was similar, and you will likely love how those BWings cut through ships like buttah.

How about swapping 2 B-wings for Norra and a generic Y-wing?
