Put adar talon on a ship thats not Yavaris. This way you can activate a squadron in the rear move in, shoot, deactivate, activate with Yavaris, shoot twice more, drink enemy tears.

Plop a Raymus Antilles onto Yavaris so you get a squadron token when you reveal a squadron command dial which now lets you activate 3 squadrons instead of 2, who can now all shoot twice.

agreed with Iroken 100% on Talon + Yavaris combo

 

though I don't agree with putting Raymus with Yavaris. Raymus should go on salvation because **** fishing for crits without that re-roll.

[orangesmurf321 3]

ill have to try both, tho if just by looking at it.  i would say to add him to the Yavaris just because i can then at least gurentee his useage, rather than fishing. but both seem to be viable options

ooh didnt see salvation there, sorry Raymus would be better there unless you want to win the fighter battle for some reason. In addition i think XI7s over XX-9s would be better value too

[orangesmurf321 3]

what do you guys think about B- Wings? i think i have pretty good against fighters with the ships and the A-wings, but i was thinking about adding a little more punch.

Personal opinion is "never fly yavaris without bwings"

Every game I've won with 3 NEB's (naked escort, yavaris escort, salvation support) was through bwings kicking vast amounts of ass

They'll shred a motto vsd down in one turn with little issue, letting the NEB's armaments finish it off with little to no problem

They're slow, though, so you really have to predict where the enemy is going and keep them covered from interceptors (which escort NEB's just shred). They are thus far the only rebel counter to imperial close range superiority and demolisher apart from RUNAWAY!!
