Idea for new/modified rebel commander

Updated wording:

When a friendly squadron with the bomber keyword is attacking a ship, it may rotate one die to any facing with a hit icon. The squadron must have moved at least distance one during its activation prior to making its attack.

This removes this commander entirely from the squadron game and also focuses the commander more narrowly on just bombing. I started thinking through some of the things it would affect otherwise, such as counter and Z-95s (holy crap would that have been nuts). By limiting it to the bomber keyword and make it just attacking squadrons, it tones down the ability to a fair degree. Thoughts on the update?

Intrigued, a little scared of b-wings under AFFM, but you can also run mass y's too. So, I like it.

Soon as I see someone run it, sure. I'd personally rather Y wing spam under it. Speed 4, combine them with Flight Controllers? I've got a combination TIE fighter/bomber for 10 points. Course, now I've got both a Pelta and (assumedly) an Assault Frigate or two for Flight Controllers, but man, that could be fun.

Don’t AFit, MC75it.

youd af it with Ys simply to have all the squad activations you need...

with Bs being basically half as expensive again, there is less of them and you can get away with the far superior armoured cruiser with hangar bay and flight controllers.

Hmm, quite true. Lemme build that Pelta-mc75 (assumedly Dodonna, what points do I HAVE?)

I’m Garming at the moment with a pair of hammerheads and a flotilla for ships, and a full 134 in buzzards.

Cutting some stingers and consolidating the ships gets youbthat Pelta - just don’t expect everything at once ?
