Alpha-Strike lists are potent.
5-ship lists are also potent, and the closest that the Rebels can get to a swarm.
Has anyone had luck with 5 Scimitar Bombers, each with a Proton Torpedo or Concussion Missile? Seems like it would be able to handle things quite well...

5 Gamma Squadrons with Seismic Charges has worked really well. Haven't tried 6 Scimitars with 2 Seismics yet. They potent little craft.

5 Gammas with seismic charge. went against HSF list. Brought Han to 3 hull, and both x-wings were 1 and 2 hull. Could not stick it to the x wings later in the game due to really good evade rolls. Could not get off 1 of the seismic and misplayed 2 seismic charges but the list was holding its own.
I happened to play against 5 scimitars + bombs a couple months ago, as rebels. I didn't lose a single ship, but my opponent was new and was basically just messing around - so not really helpful info.
I should point out that I ran 4x Scimitar Squadron + Seismic Charges and Turr Phennir with a Stealth Device a few times.
The full battle report of my first fight with that list:

Friday I ran the list again vs. Bloody Daggers and just utterly destroyed the list due to a maneuvering mistake by my opponent, excellent flying on my part, and a huge dose of luck. The first engagement saw the death of a B-Wing and an X-Wing while I took 2 damage to a single bomber. And I hadn't dropped the bombs yet. The opponent conceded shortly after.
I have run a 4x Scimitar + Seismics with an Omicron Shuttle + Adv Sensors + Engine upgrade with success. The bombers go in firstat weirs angles and the shuttle clogs the most likely hole for the enemy to avoid seismics. 4 bombers with seismics is no joke, and its hard to kill a shuttle when half your ships are damaged/destroyed by bombs.
However, back to topic. I would say the 5 Scimitar list loaded with Proton torps/clusters, maybe no clusters and concussions instead, would be pretty nice. No Jonus so you can fly loose formations and save missiles for opportune times. I really want to try this one out now.
