Hi Guys,

I am working on a 400 pt fleet. This fleet is all about using squadron support to hopefully take down opposing squadrons in 1 or 2 turns.

Assault Frigate Mark IIB
Paragon
General Dodonna
Adar Tallon
Enhanced Armament
Expanded Hanger Bay

Assault Frigate Mark IIB
Gallant Haven
Raymus Antilles
Flight Controllers
Enhanced Armament
Expanded Hanger Bay

Nebulon-B Escort Frigate
Yavaris


A-Wing x3
X-Wing x1
Y-Wing x1
Dutch
Tycho
Wedge

So Wedge, X-Wing, B-wings, and Dutch all go together to take advantage of the Dutch effect pairing great with Wedge. This squadron group will roll with the Yavaris to take advantage of that title.

The A-Wings and Tycho will roll up to screen squadrons.

Thoughts?

I think it's alright.

I'm a little surprised by your inclusion of General Dodonna, Paragon, Raymus Antilles, and Leia Organa, but I have a little bit of a different playstyle than you do. I tend to experiment more with maxing one aspect of a side rather than doing a more broad approach. For example, I would have either gotten rid of Raymus and Leia to fit in Luke Skywalker and something else to make Dodonna more efficient, or figured out some way to fit Garm Bel Iblis instead. (Though I'm also a bit stubborn/stupid in that I generally refuse to bring along Raymus, Leia, or Liasons.)

I ended up dropping Leia as I wanted to get the Escort Frigate. The support Frigate just wasn't cutting it. This fleet is all based around Squadron support and big capitals that can take some punishment (Assault Frigates). Skywalker would be nice but feel that Wedge is going to out perform him when it comes to squadron on squadron engagements which is where I find the majority of my squadrons spending their battles (as much as I wish otherwise)...
