Ive played Fo for a long time now

i have flown Major ever since he came out. Paired him with 2 sfs, Muse and scorch. it was fun

The backarc rly meses things upp for the opponet.

But wanna try something els

So here goes

i feel like the 3 evades makes the Fo more resilient than the 2 more shileds that the sf has.

And when they loose the shilde, they get more use out of fanatical, and the inative 3 can help to kill of generics.

Sorcsch is just being awsome , and Major von reg is gona take it easy on the flanks.

My fav ship in fo is the Omega Squad expert with Fanatical and adv optics, but thats 40 points, so i cant rly fitt them in

what are your toughts?

No bad pilots, no bad upgrades, no overly fiddly synergies, and an appropriate amount of bid.

Checks out, should be fine.

For tweaks and adjustments, the only thing I'd think about is maybe bringing Holo with Proud Tradition. In a 5-ship list, he ought to have no trouble finding someone safe to offload a bad token to, so Holo can leverage his red moves and ship ability. On top of that, being able to pass a Focus token to someone who did a K-Turn or missed their action is a nice trick that can improve the consistency of the rest of the squad. Vonreg is solid, don't get me wrong. Just that Holo is also nice. I couldn't say which is better, but both have their advantages.

I do want to add that the TIE/sf is, mathematically speaking, a bit tankier. Presuming the focus is saved for offense, against 3-dice focused attacks, it'll take 4.3 attacks to die, compared to 3.7 from a TIE/fo, or against 2-dice focused attacks, it'll take 7.4 attacks to die compared to 6.9 attacks to die for the TIE/fo.

However, the price of the TIE/fo means you can take four of them , instead of three SFs, since Vonreg won't fit with four SFs with Optics or Fanatical. That's almost surely a worthwhile tradeoff.

Thanks 😃

Well the dream would be if they droped the sf another 2 points.

then my list would be , major, sorch and 3 zetas with adv optics no questions asked

Tie F/Os are also more predictable than S/Fs that can turn any which way and still get shots. The S/Fs also always keep that arc turned backwards for any flanking threats. The S/Fs are just better all around.

Have you tried just Omegas FOs with just proud tradition? 30pt little menaces. Would free up points to change scorch to like backdraft or Lehuse with gunner title.

You can get three Zetas with optics, naked scorch and vonreg.

Anyways, just about any combo is gonna be super efficient, I just prefer S/F over FOs.

Squad Leader Muse can be fun too in place of Scorch.

what are your toughts?

..... is a good casual squad...

personally i would remove optics from scorch,

once you lose 1 shield you will target lock a lot instead of focusing..

to me fanatical is the only upgrade needed by scorch.

this give you 4 points to play...

and i would probably change 2 tie/fo with 2 sf with optics

I've really enjoyed Proud Tradition over Fanatical on non-Scorch/Midnight FO's. Its active earlier and I've never seen anyone pay the penalty to flip a copy of it.

Also who doesn't like pretending to be a Defender?
