this looks pretty strong on paper. common theory suggest the Cartels need a cannon of some type but in this list they can operate as blockers and give opportunity fire at close range (or thats the theory). no bid. 200pts. 4x initiative 1 ships plus Fenn. Block. Make a kill box. Flank with Fenn and make sure he gets to the end game nomatter what.

thoughts?

Cartel Spacer at 25 is a nearly identical ship to the TIE/fo, which is pretty solid. I'm personally going to be more into Fenn + 3 Zealous Recruits, but 2 spacers is going to be solid enough, if that's the kind of ship you'd rather fly.

I've been running a similar build, but mine bumps up the Zealots to Skulls and uses Genesis Red with a tractor beam.

I've got one less ship, but they're all I4 or higher.

I'll give yours a try, though.

this may actually be a supereior squad. fenn gets outmanuever and ur cartels morph into mining guild rock hoppers.

what do you think @theBitterFig?

Probably all about the same, whatever feels better is right for you.
