I'm trying to branch out and work some synergy into my lists. What do you Aces and Veterans think of this list?

TIE Adv. Alozen (x/1, VI, ATC)
TIE Fighter Acad Pilot
TIE Fighter Acad Pilot
TIE Fighter Acad Pilot
TIE Fighter Youngster (Expose)
TIE Fighter Howlrunner

Are TIE Swarm lists too passe these days? Is there someone I should run instead of Alozen?

Colzet is better than Alozon and throw in Wampa for an Academy - nothing makes your opponent more nervous than completely ignoring his shields and giving them a damage card - especially when Colzet can turn it into a crit.

I ran a Tie swarm in both local store championships and went 3 and 1 in both. Might be one of the best ways to combat the triple jumpmaster lists.

I was thinking more Crackswarm, something along the lines of:

Howlrunner, Crack Shot, Stealth Device
Wampa, Stealth Device
4x Black Sq. Pilot, Crack Shot

Like Azeroth said, Wampa does his thing, the rest of the list is straightforward on the formation joust.

I should have mentioned: I only have 5 TIEs.

Ok, how about:
Vader, Engine Upgrade, Veteran instincts, Title, Advanced Targeting Computer
Howlrunner, Crack Shot
3x Black Squadron pilot, Crack Shot

Thanks for all the input. Not to start trying them out.
