So this saturday I'm hosting a small epic tournament (I'm trying to get more of the locals to play more epic, as it's EPIC!), but so far we are at 5 players, so it may just be some cozy afternoon games.

In case we find a sixth player, we fly 300 points and my list is as follows:

I like to split my epic fleets into wings and supporting roles and plan a similar tactic for all battles.

Transport with support:

GR-75 Rebel Transport - Automated Protocols, Toryn Farr, Tibanna Gas Supplies and Bright Hope

Poe Dameron - PTL, BB-8, Autothrusters, Primed Thrusters and Black One

Ahsoka Tano - Veteran Instinct, Captured TIE, Sabine's Masterpiece and Rey

Ezra Bridger - Rage, TLT and Inspiring Recruit

These ships are supposed to disrupt the enemies offensive and defensive capabilities by removing tokens from them. Ahsoka hangs around to help Poe remove a target lock from a huge ship and Ezra can easily put a couple of damage into a huge ship and hopefully survive some fire. The transport is super annoying for my opponent, but with Bright Hope, it's a difficult target to choose, as firing upon it will less effective, so it usually survives for quite long.

Devastator Squadron:

Lieutenant Blount - XX-23 S-Thread Tracers and Veteran Instincts

3x Tala Squadron Pilot - Assault Missiles and Guidance Chips

So basically deal a lot o damage before dying. After delivering their payload, they will function as blockers and general nuisance.

Blue Squadron:

"Snap" Wexley - Adaptability, R2 Astromech, Integrated Astromech and Primed Thrusters

"Blue Ace" -    R2 Astromech ,  Integrated Astromech  and  Primed Thrusters

Jess Pava - R2-D6, Veteran Instincts, Integrated Astromech  and  Primed Thrusters

These are my fast-movers and will function as flankers and focus fire on enemy ships. They will have the same PS for simplicity.

If we go casual and play 400 points, I will add the following:

2x Blue Squadron Pilot - FCS

Bodhi Rook - Sensor Jammer, Pivot Wing, Hera Syndulla, Chewbacca and Countermeasures

The b-wings are just extra firepower, which will slow-roll it until they die. Bodhi have the option of hovering in a corner forever and help his allies aquire target locks from far away. I think it may work great with Ahsoka. He should also have a lot of survivability with Chewie and Sensor jammer.

I will update you on how it turns out.
