I dont always run Double VSD, but when I do I prefer (FAKE) Thrawn for the rebels.

This is my second version of this list. The previous version can be found here with a small battle report. I only took 3 pictures since the game was practically over at turn 3 for this matchup. I want to see if this can be a thing and also a move outside of well known territories.

Would be happy for input on Shiploadout, Commander and squadron selection

Name: Jag garm V2

Total Points: 399

For a bomber list it lacks bomber power I'd drop Biggs, the VCX (relay I find you don't need as much on the rebel side as the squadrons are slower) and Wedge in favor of more B wings and Nora Wexley. If you just gotta have Wedge add Dutch. I run something kinda similar and two YT-1300 work great as an escort.

Good points that i need to reconsider. The previous list had a total of 3 B-wings including Ten Numb but those melted faster than butter on a car hood in the sydney summer. And that was after the escorts had melted away the round before.

The VCX are for the objectives. Had superior positions as my blue objective but that dont work good with b-wings as they can't jump large ships very well.

Agreed on not reflexively taking Superior Positions. You have to decide whether trying to win the squadron game is worth it for you, if you lose the B-Wings eventually but take out an ISD worth three times their point cost they've more than done their job.
