Hi guys.

I'm finding it quite hard to figure out what squadrons to go with in my imperial lists. I'm looking for general input and thoughts on what squadrons to choose. Sloane aces and squads have been covered plenty, so my focus is whatever non-Sloane fighter lists goes. I want to take a smallish complement of squadrons mainly as a screen to tie up my opponents squadrons, but would also be nice if the squadrons could actually do something on the side if need be. Thinking of spending 50-80 points to stille keep the focus of the fleet on the ships for hitting power.

I like the idea of going really spartan with Valen and Cienna only. Common TIE's or Interceptor's with Howlrunner is also up for considderation. I know the rebels can make due with Shara and Tycho on their own, or just 4 A-wings - or that kinda stuff.

What are your thought and what are you guys running atm?

Personally, when I want to go cheap, I run the combo wombo, Jumpmaster / Soontir / Mauler / Zetrik (courtesy of Cannotgetyourshipout.blogspot.com) especially if I run ISD, so I can activate them once - twice and after that they either dead or don't need to control so i can give other commands.

Anyway I'd check that blogs squadron articles, it's a real treasure island!

I like the "psychological escort" version consisting of Dengar, Soontir, Howlrunner, Mauler.

In this version, you make them attack soontir and eat counter 4 while stacking up auto damage if they dont comply.

From there you can add Valen, Ciena, Saber or generic ties or interceptors. If you go over 100pts adding in flight controllers becomes an option.

I run Dengar and Howlrunner every time. From there I add Soontir, Cienna, Mauler, then Valen. As an Imp you really need to take advantage of those cheap swarm aces.

Dengar-Howl-Ties. If youll include a quasar, then squall with fc, valen-3 yv666.
