Is there anything viable going on here? Just hard-neuter your attack dice, and keep chipping away?

The entire squad's purpose is to pour on the Deplete tokens, denying your opponents' offensive capabilities as long as possible. Vennie is particularly good at this, because he'll probably be getting a free focus result every attack (that he can spend with Suppressive Gunner) THIS SENTENCE WAS WRONG . Sure, they're attacking at very low initiative, but it forces your maneuvers to be blue, or just accept the lower attack; and if i can put 2+ tokens on a ship, it doesn't matter what you do, you're still firing at lowered efficiency. The extra four points could go into more ATPs, or a Hull Upgrade for Vennie, FCS or Passive Sensors... your thoughts?

At least as good as reinforcing lol

Will depletes really matter at low Init though? Though I have thought long and hard about combining VTG and Suppressive Gunner on Paige. Deplete them BEFORE they shoot you. I mean honestly, forcing most ships to do blues isn't that bad a nerf vs. the flying bricks.

I essentially went for the same idea but on Paige. Suppressive Gunner isn't likely to serve you at low initiative.

Where is Vennie getting these free focus results from? The pilot ability only works on defence.

Yeah, that was a mistake I made in list building.
