Listbuilding: Rebel casual 600

I have a 600 point game scheduled for tomorrow. Against the same dude, I was going to play that 1000-pointer. That's still going to happen but we learned something from the CC All-out assault: games that big need to happen during weekends 😅

We agreed on 25% squads, standard ace limit (6 in this case), and 2 flotillas. I figured I'd try the rebels for once. Came up with a couple of ideas:

Leia Nebs & Agate Starhawk. 

I've been meaning to try out Leia in 1.5 and I do own 4 Nebulons. I also own a Starhawk but I've never put it on a table outside Vassal. And that's it really. No more to it. Gotta love casual fleetbuilding 😏 

Let's look at the lists, shall we:

Leia brings a bunch of shooty ships and a bunch of squads. A 4-ship Nebulon phalanx like that can dish out an insane amount of firepower when backed by a Pelta with IF! I went with Neb Escorts and LTT to boost my flak. My opponent enjoys squads as much as I do. They can also throw 3 squads using Leia if they have to but my primary carriers are the Pelta and the flotillas. 

Since I don't really want too many command tokens I figured I'd try out Jamming Field. Used to love that care back when you could run any number of flots. Kind of sad there is no room for it in normal lists. I avoided going heavy on the rogues since the other list has plenty. 

Objective choice leaning towards NOT using old objectives. But the ones I've picked suit this list fine: SA gives you 4 Nebs and squads to the face right away. AMF nets a lot of tokens. HM with that many ships is fun. Both the yellow and blue have whales. I like space whales.

The 2nd list is a combination of SH squad-entric and SH ship-centric. I've tried both in vassal and the former is the better one. But what if you have the points for BOTH? 2xTRC90 and a TRC30 provide accurate long-range fire that should wear down defense tokens pretty quickly. SH is the anvil. Objectives are again for funsies. I really hope we play Rift Ambush. I want to run my SH at speed 3!
