The 4 Rebel x-wing build has a good chance of beating the 8 Tie swarm. The rebels will get to shoot first and blow away a few fighters with any luck. Then it's just a battle of attrition. Who's dice rolls are going to get lucky.I'd still give the edge to the tie swarm, but only by a little bit.
I agree with another post on here that the 6 tie swarm can probably take down the 8 tie swarm. The 6 swarm allows you to use all the named pilots and maintain a first strike attack action. The named pilots have some great offensive and defensive abilities that I think would give them the edge.
The only problem is the 6 tie swarm is weaker against more balanced builds, and I think the 6 tie swarm would really suffer against the 4 rebel build. And against a solid 3-xwing build, the Imps only have a slight favor.
