Also thinking early in the frame, since they always send a squad or two to draw some of our fighters into an early scrap... Let's do what they hope for, but in overwhelming force. First we spot their early fighter cap, we position our fighter squads in an umbrella shape around them at max altitude, then come in on them from three directions, kill all their early scrappers in an as unfair fight as possible and rearm, then climb back to intercept the buffs. This could very well work since their buffs must strike deep into our territory, and we should have time to rearm after the big scrap and get back up.
