ok i think i get it - you do the advanced sensors action to re-position before dropping the bomblet - both of which are on reveal dial.

I thought you would only advanced sensors to drop an action bomb before moving which you couldn't do if you took the bomblet generator. But I suppose that could be another way to run it. Anyone try that or are infinite bombs just that much more useful?

Infinite bombs are that much more useful.

And significantly cheaper.

And have better range.

And at PS10 are functionally almost identical.

Maybe this:

Captain Nym (Veteran Instincst, Twin Laser Turret, Sabine Wren, Bomblet Generator, Proximity Mines)

Rey (Veteran Instincts, Finn, Kanan Jarrus, Millenium Falcon [S-Loop])

100 points

I feel like Genius and Advanced Sensors are just better than more damage from Sabine. The flexibility of where you can put bombs goes so far up that I think that'd be more damage in the long run than Sabine procs. I'd run 98 points at the list above, but with Havok, Advanced Sensors, and Genius instead of Sabine and Proximity Mines. Maybe also consider swapping TLT for Autoblaster Turret and Engine Upgrade. I know the VI/Genius/AdvS/[Engine] build is kinda uncreative, but there's a reason so many folks fly it.

Even without EU, it's crazy good. Throw EU in there so Rebel Nym has the option to Genius bomb drop, then boost out of range of the blast and, well...yeah.

Sabine is not a must take if Bomblet Generator is your only bomb - I would only take Sabine if you were running Miranda and keep it on Miranda - Havoc title combined with EPT and native PS8 is a killer cocktail for Nym, many good combinations, TLT, ICT, AB added to Accuracy Corrector or Advanced Sensors.

Solid Norra build, solid Nym build. I don't know that an A-Wing accomplishes much. I'd be more inclined to toss in Captain Rex. I've heard of folks running Sabine's Masterpiece and Rey on him. That'd allow the old man to get a stack of focus early game while slow-rolling his way into the fight, and he can be Focus-Evade once he's into the thick. I'd try to use him as a flanker. Then your opponent either has to commit to attacking Rex, opening position for your other ships, or let Rex remove their attack dice.

At least to me, I think that probably contributes about as much as an A-Wing would. I don't put too much stock in naked A-Wings. However, an A-Wing is probably not that much worse, and the principal ships are certainly solid builds.
