ok, so i am playing in my first tournament this saturday.

i plan on running the following:

Vader

engine upgrade

PTL

Soontir

Stealth

PTL

the other tie interceptor pilot who can perform a boost or barrel roll after shooting

stealth

PTL

i have used it with my friends and won both times. i took no damage in the first game and minimal damage in the second

the second game was against an imperial swarm (6 ties)

is this a list i can have fun with at a tournament?

This list is called 911, or its a variant of it. engine upgrade on vader is gas.

Yes u will have fun. Good luck.

Dude's name is "Turr Phennir"
Good luck!
Vader's going to be your tank, for the most part.

Vader will need to be at Range 1, while your Interceptors are equally comfortable there (if you danced out of firing arcs with their maneuvers and abilities) and at Range 3.

Remember to concentrate your fire!

You're going to have a blast with that set up. Go forth and kick butt!

Yep, its a good list. I like to drop PTL on Vader for adrenaline rush and drop PTL on Turr for veterine instincts. This frees up 4 points to give Vader a concussion missile or cluster missile since he has less offense than the other two ships.

Oh, and if one of your interceptors gets one-shot, shake it off, it's happened to a lot of us before. It's just one of the risks of the list. But a very fun list at that.

PTL on Turr is incredible, as he can trigger it off of his ability rather than the normal attack round, and will therefore be able to shoot at R1 and kite to safety every single time.

PTL on Vader is...lackluster, as it only gives you a 50% increase in actions. Two is plenty.

I'd consider Daredevil on him, giving you a HUGE amount of mobility.

i liked PTL on vader because it allowed me to, several times, boost, then barrel roll then target lock to get badly needed rerolls due to his poor attack of 2

but i do see how dare devil would make him a mannuevering monster = 1 turn, then use boost to bank 1, then dare devil for another speed 1 turn. or if i needed to substitute a barrel roll.

the other guy really has no idea where the hell vader is going to end up. i like it
