Assuming you have 25 TIE Fighters and dials?

I dunno. I fear they'd be chewed up pretty quick by the opponent's ships. Higher-attack power foes (3+ dice) with good agility will eat them very quickly while not fearing the TIE's 2 attack dice. And at 300 points, it's likely the foe will invest in some radius attacks like bombs or assault missiles.

That said, you have a crap-ton of blockers, so you could regularly deny your opponents their actions, and you could gamble on low defense rolls letting you eventually overwhelm enemy defenses and HP with focus-firing. Heaven help them if they've poured too many points into expensive, vulneable ships; in Epic those tend to get blown away to easily. I'm told generic ships really come into their own in Epic games, while named pilots are less useful.

Maybe someone with lots Epic experience can tell you how they'd do. However, it will be an incredibly slow match, I'll predict that. When I say they'll die quickly, I don't mean in real time. ;)
