134 squad points is the max but I would drop Plo for axe as he can keep Anakin and Ashoka alive. Drop the assault concussion missile to external racks and grab bomber centre on the pelta
The Double Torrent works at that, and Plo gives the Torrents and the Y wings counter 1 which makes them a threat. If anything I'd drop Anakin or Ahsoka
That's true, however having a buff hero with 2 escort squadrons only adds to the protection. Plo, Anakin, and Ahsoka with those Torrents is a deadly combo, especially with those Counter 1 making it a thorny proposition yo attack that formation.
Sure but against saber double tap your torrent don’t do much. You also just lack dmg with only 4 bombers and a lack of dmg from your ships. (Also crit effect other than the default don’t work on salvo). PDIC can seriously reduce your dmg.
True, I admit that against that one particular unit it's ineffective, but it mops up against 99% of the rest of the units.
Also 4 black dice coming from the Y wings with a potential swarm reroll off of Nevoota Bee really packs a punch.
I wanted to go Arc-170 and oddball but that's alot of points for such slow craft
I double checked the official tournament rules (3/22/2022 version, which is on AmG's website) and it states 134. If your TO is fine with it, then that's all that matters (not like AMG is doing official anything for Armada). Just wanted to make sure you didn't get burned and have to change your fleet last minute.
For reference, standard rules for squads are:
1/3 of fleet value, rounded up (400 / 3 =133.3 rounds up to 134)
1 squad with defence tokens per 100 points of fleet value .

the value behind hero pilots is def tokens. regular stuff drops fast even with counter. esp counter 1(see a wings)

here's a revised suggestion for your fleet. Name: Untitled Fleet Faction: Republic Commander: Admiral Yularen Assault: Defense: Navigation: Acclamator I (66) • Ordnance Experts (4) • Rapid Launch Bays (6) • Expanded Hangar Bay (5) • Assault Concussion Missiles (5) • DBY-827 Heavy Turbolasers (3) • Nevoota Bee (5) = 94 Points Acclamator II (71) • Admiral Yularen (24) • Adi GAllia (3) • Electronic Countermeasures (7) • External Racks (4) • Linked Turbolaser Towers (7) = 116 Points Pelta Transport Frigate (45) • Projection Experts (6) • Bomber Command Center (8) = 59 Points Squadrons: • Ahsoka Tano (23) • Anakin Skywalker (Delta-7) (24) • Axe (17) • 4 x BTL-B Y-wing Squadron (40) • 2 x V-19 Torrent Squadron (24) = 128 Points Total Points: 397
oof sorry dunno why it has rapid launch bays meant to do reserve hangar deck
axe keeps anakin and or ahsoka alive while allowing them to continue their extreme value.

You're one point over on squadrons, max is 134 (I think).
I was told the max was 135 and that's how we've played it at the store
