@geek19 - I know you ran something similar recently

I did! I was trying to make this list work up until two days before MI. The crappy sad answer is take the TRCR90 out and play the 2+3. Right now, without strategic adviser, 4 ships isn't gonna work as well as you want, especially against MSU or 5-6 ship ISDs.

Putting Adar (with boosted comms in my case) and the BCC on 2 other flotillas lets you delay slightly before the better bigger activations happen and shoot your ships down.

As for squads, Ten, Luke, B-wings, Gold, are all good. Dunno if you need a HWK and Jan, or both YT1300S (especially as neither prevents Luke from getting shot). Maybe an X-wing or 2 to take advantage of Dodonna?

Also, thanks to @GiledPallaeon for telling me and @Roquax for initially using it, but Adar Tallon and Corran Horn are EVIL together. If you CAN squeeze him in....

Hey Geek, were you trying to make the CR90 work over the 2 transports?

Yeah, currently data suggests 2+3 is going to work better.

Good stuff, thanks for your impressions and suggestions.

I really don't want to descend to the 2+3 but I might have to

I just love TRC-90s.

As to squads, when I ran this list variation last year, I had a lot of good success with 2x HWK, 2x YT1300, and 4x Bees.

Was trying to stick to a similar vein of 4 decent bombers, 2 tanky escorts, and 2 sources of Intel.

Curse Escort on Luke.

i was, yeah. The issue that I kept running into was that I was testing against a fair number of MSU, which a 4 ship without a Large isn't really great at facing down. I had Dodonna on the Jaina's Light, but I still wasn't doing that great as it got predictable where it was going (and really can't help in the squadron push, so GH HAS to push more often than it really wants to be pushing them).
