Scimitar Squadron Pilot

2x Adv Proton Torp

Ship 3

Scimitar Squadron Pilot

2x Adv Proton Torp

1x Homing Misslie

With this list, I'd say you're going to have a lot of unused weapons. Do you expect to get both APT's off from each ship? If you reduce each ship down to 1 APT, there's 18 points right there that can be used for something.

You're going to want a support ship, like Colonel Jendon, if you want to get those Advanced Proton Torps off with both TL and Focus.

If you want to run this squad, knock yourself out. I think with the TIE Bombers, you're going to see players finding a balance between how many weapons to run and how many ships to run. There will be a learning curve with that for sure.

I think hothie has a good point. The way I was looking at these when they were first announced, the best strategy seemed to decide to field them as either torp or missile platforms, doubling up on those and diregarding the other. I could see fielding three ships that way, and depending on remaining points, fielding one or two ties or Tie-Ints to run interference. It's an interesting idea I do want to try.
