I'm TOing an event this weekend for a belated 40th Anniversary Celebration. The squad building rules have been restricted to reflect Original Trilogy ships only [Click Here for Squad Building Rules].

What would you bring?

I'm toying with throwing down 4x Tempest Squadron Pilots, Cluster Missiles, TIE/x1 Title, Fire Control System, & Guidance Chips for giggles. Back during the Assault on Imdaar Alpha event I placed second (first if they'd scored correctly rather than used house rules, totally not still bitter over this...) with 4x Tempest Squadron Pilots & Cluster Missiles. That was it. That was my list (remember: Pre-Wave 4) and I figured this could only be better...

wow that's limiting... so you couldn't even run a squad of 5 Snap/Crack A-Wings...

I'm a rebel player so I'd do a Fat Han and Luke.... oh wait thats exactly what I did! I even debated putting Leia in (RIP) as tribute.

Luke, Wedge, Biggs.

Rageswarm. Hands down. Smoke all those fools.

Whipped this up pretty quickly, coming in at 99 points. The plan is for Wes to strip tokens off the enemy, Garven to spend his focus which in turn passes it to Nera, who then pumps what should be a 5-damage torpedo into a tokenless target.

Is there a reason you can't take accuracy correctors instead of fire control?

That way you can evade and get 2 hits automatically, and you get very nice reliability with the missiles.

Accuracy Correctors do not come in any of the allowed expansion packs - thus they are banned...I had accuracy correctors first, then I realized I banned them and would've been bringing an illegal list to my own event

You could do 5 Scimitar Bombers with unguided rockets and LWF or 4 Gamma with Unguided, LWF and 2 Pts for an EPT or Seismic (i.e. trickshot and Seismic) if you want to have a higher PS.

Rage only comes in the Punishing One - JumpMaster 5000 expansion pack and is thus banned from this event.

Crackshot comes in the Imperial Veterans pack so you can run Crackshot, however Snap Shot comes in Hero's of the Resistance...which is banned. So you can get halfway there...

Nera Dantels, Deadeye, Flechette Torpedoes, Flechette Torpedoes, Fire Control System, Munitions Failsafe

Make Push the Limit an obsolete card!

Incase no one had noticed yet, this is going to be a headache to police... (What have I done to myself?!?!)

Long live Horton and Dutch!

Plasma torpedoes are only available in the K-Wing, TIE Punisher, and Punishing One Expansion packs which are all banned, thus no plasma torpedoes are allowed in squadron lists for this event.

Since bombs might not be so common or other munitions for that matter, what about some good ol' imperial aces? Unfortunately autothrusters is banned...

Yeah probably the easiest way to govern list building is to draw the line at "ships from OT only". Your ban list is going to be way too restrictive and make your life hard for no reason. Trust me, I've done this before for each individual OT film and as all three combined. Just stick to a simple ban list.

Plus then you can run Rageswarm and smoke fools.

Blue Squadron (22)
Adv. Sensors (3)

x2

Chewbacca (42)
Millenium Falcon (1)
C-3PO (3)
Leia Organa (4)

Your B-Wings are your tough old blockers/flankers. Chewie is a damage sponge, and once per game you may find a chance to action and K-turn your B-Wings stress free!

Pretty sure fat han/jake dominates this format.

Half your participants are gonna get DQ'ed

I think I would just play it safe from fear of being DQ'ed.

Fire-Control System (2)
Flechette Torpedoes (2)

Only issue we had with the event was one attempt to equip a Recon Specialist - but it was caught before the first round and otherwise we were all set. No DQ's - besides, fly casual! This was a casual event.
