I have been testing variants of this list for some time now, and I have found a lot of success with it. It seems to do fairly well against two ISD fleets which are exceedingly common in my area. Here’s the list:

Name: Untitled Fleet
Faction: Rebel
Commander: Garm Bel Iblis

Assault: Most Wanted
Defense: Jamming Barrier
Navigation: Solar Corona

MC80 Battle Cruiser (103)
• Garm Bel Iblis (25)
• Intel Officer (7)
• Caitken and Shollan (6)
• Heavy Ion Emplacements (9)
• Spinal Armament (9)
• XI7 Turbolasers (6)
• Liberty (3)
= 168 Points

Nebulon-B Escort Frigate (57)
• Yavaris (5)
= 62 Points

GR-75 Medium Transports (18)
• Ahsoka Tano (2)
= 20 Points

GR-75 Medium Transports (18)
• Toryn Farr (7)
• Bright Hope (2)
= 27 Points

Squadrons:
• Biggs Darklighter (19)
• Gold Squadron (12)
• Dutch Vander (16)
• Jan Ors (19)
• 2 x B-wing Squadron (28)
• 2 x X-wing Squadron (26)
= 120 Points

Total Points: 397

The bad matchup that I’ve gone up against is sloane, but my addition of Dutch May help to mitigate that. So what do you all think? Any comments or criticisms are welcome and appreciated.

thanks

With HIEs you may be better with a star cruiser for the extra blue dice and it saves you 7 points. HIEs spread damage around and your bombing efforts can be redirected so the XI7s aren't doing much here.

FCTs on the Neb will get the B Wings moving along nicely. Upgrading an XWing to Wedge will work well with Dutch. Or boost a BWing to Ten Numb.

Yeah, switch to the Star Cruiser for sure. Quad Batteries instead of spinals and XI7s. Drop Intel Officer for something else, maybe Bail, Strategic Advisor, Lando, whatever. You don’t need to kill the Brace as I assume you’re going to shoot and scoot in order to keep the Liberty alive.

Thank you both for the advice! I made some changes to my list based on it. I switched to a star cruiser, dropped X17, and intel officer. I decided to keep spinal as I am usually going just as fast if not faster than many of the fleets in my area. I did add bail to the liberty as well as lando and FCT to yavaris. Finally, I upgraded a bwing to ten numb. A couple more specific questions.

I have found C&S to be very useful on a liberty, but do you think gunnery teams would be better?

Also, at this point, do you think my squadron complement can stand up to sloane?

thanks!

Ten Numb is a good choice against Sloane in particular. You definitely have a fighting chance.

I really like the C&S/HIE combo. If you’re seeing a lot of MSU around, you may consider Gunnery Teams, but as is seems like a better choice to me.

C&S is better
