Tarkin Gives CF tokens every turn but turn 1. Then Sovereign uses the token for Intensify Firepower! while the Arquitens flip them for Nav. The Gozanti flips for Squadron while needed.

All the Objectives keep obsticals close which is why I have Brunson. If I am second player I will go Speed 1 for QBT on Sovereign and the Arquitens. The Arquitens use the Nav tokens for Engine Techs.

The Arquitens run CF dials from turn 2 on, with QBT they should be able to throw 3 Red and 2 blue at long range against most ships and if my opponent wants to go speed 1 to avoid QBT then I have a bunch of Red dice to pepper then with while they creep in.

Squads are just a defensive screen or for going after Relay squads if my opponent is trying to control squads at long range.

The things I go back and forth on are...

1. The Gozanti, I could switch it to the cheaper version with Comms net and DCaps but I just can't see either being necessary.

2. Then the obvious switching Brunson out for Strategic Advisor but I want to see how effective Brunson will be.

I was thinking Tarkin/Sovereign and a comms net Gozanti to allow the Gozanti to pass a token while also allowing it to dial in a CF or squad. That’d be some pretty decent token efficiency for the higher-Command ships.

This was exactly where my mind went.

2 assaults with coms passing tokens to the ISD while spamming cf or nav make a prettt nifty little bundle. Not sure its worth the ccost though.
