I'm debating adding maybe a Torpedo of some sort into Miranda for Build #1, and an Ion Bomb to Miranda in Build #2 just to make it a little stronger of a threat and to fill out the points. Eh, I dunno.

I really think your second Nym would be improved by Autoblaster Turret, not TLT. The rest of that second build I love, though I think I'd make sure they both have alpha strike ordnance. Less bombs wouldn't be bad.

Interesting thought! If I go Auto, that gives me 6 points to spare, though. I'll definitely have to find something else to fill in the points for sure.

One thing to consider is that accuracy corrected TLT smashes the Nym mirror if you play it right.

Those 6 points can be enough ordnance to give both of them an alpha strike.

You will also have to consider that by taking Accuracy Corrector instead of Advanced Sensors you are making the list a lot weaker in most other matchups. Even without AC, a TLT has a very good chance of doing 2 damage to Nym each turn.

I found Autoblaster on Nym with strong ordnance quite hard if I have to mirror a Nym with TLT. You always have to get very close for Autoblaster, risking bomb damage on you, while TLT Nym can stay on a safe distance and outside your bomb range.

This was Paul Heavers list in US nationals, similar to yours and you have 3 points to play with.
