Hi Everyone!

My strategy is simple. The AFII and flottila commanded squadrons. AF II alpha strike ( drop the B wings after move on turn 2 or 3) X wings and HWK supported the Bwings. HHs shooting with 2 black dice in red range thereafter turn 2 (with concentrted firepower command)

If i will a second player change the HWK to Jan Ors, and take the Draven to flagship HH.

Does anyone have an idea of what to cahnge?

Swapping those x wings out for a wings will be far better for a sato list, preferably tycho. hammerheads are also quite fragile so maybe move sato to the frigate

You really are going to want disposable capacitors on those HH. Without them your obstructed long range shots will be totally blocked. Also I think an MC30 would be better than the AF2. Then you can really double down on the ATPs. Maybe fit in a flotilla with the extra points?

I've ran Sato APT Hammerheads in several games and while their their ~50 point cost might hold them back from being top-level competitive they are still a ton of fun.

I find that targets with evade neuter their crit ability pretty badly but they are excellent when shooting against ships like ISD that lack evade.

If you can get double black crits you can APT even evade-equipped ships from way downtown. Impossible you say? Well not with double rerolls. If you equip Ordnance experts AND Task Force Organa and reroll every non-crit each black die has a greater than 50% chance of landing on crit at the end. 3 TFO titles will drastically increase your chance of landing crits for a mere 3 points so I would really try to squeeze that in somehow.

If you find you like playing Sato long range APT's I'd recommend you try the Ordnance MC75 as well - in my opinion it's one of the best Sato ships currently.

Thank you for your advice!

I've created a new list that try on the table.

Ginkapo!

Thanks for the link!

Based on the idea in this article, I've put together a list. I'll try it out next time.

Admonition and the EWS is very tough. But it's a good way to take the EWS from admonition and apply the Foresight to the other MC30.

I do not know which one is the right solution.
