hey guys and gals, not a real batrap to be honest but i would like to share some pics from the epic game we played last night.. it was a blast, we had a raider proxy and its like playing a different game..

most importantly imperials won but the rebels get the plowed over more spaceships medal

It's a stealth ship!

Or just a sd with a applied basecoat.. looks like I photoshopped it, but it's a modelkit

Oh, I figured that. I just thought it looked funny as a stealth ship.

I want to get some Epic games going, but I'm trying to prep for regionals.

That second picture is exactly how I see Huge ship battles going down, i.e. the Raider wants to point straight at the CR-90 (or slightly skewed to overlap both arcs), but the CR-90 wants to show its broadside to bring all weapons to bear on the opposing capital ship. The problem is that the Raider is in an excellent position to Reinforce the fore section, while the CR-90 is in the unenviable position of choosing a section to Reinforce, but then having the other section targeted. It's a conundrum I've been pondering for some time.

My best thought so far to get around that situation for the Rebels is to run the GR-75 between the two warships, and include Dash crew on the CR-90, allowing it to benefit from cover, while ignoring the opposing Raider's obstacle-granted agility bonus.

Another option is to put two Single Turbolasers on the fore section of the CR-90, and none on the aft, relying on fighters to protect the aft. With proper orientation, you should be able to shield the aft section from the Raider's shots (using that blue line in the middle) and still get all your shots off at the Raider. This allows you to Reinforce the fore section, but has the side effect of every enemy ship focusing on the fore section, and even with Reinforce I'm not sure how long it would last.

I'm glad I'm primarily Imperial now, because I think the Raider is superior. However, the puzzle of how to tackle that beast using Rebels is a fun one.

It was a really fun game, didnt even scratch the gr 75 but it's unbelievable how fast fighters go down..

All in all a game well be having again soon I think.. Have to make a proper base for the sd though as it kept banking on the flight stand and is very wobbly.

There are also some cards that haven't spoilered yet but I guess you want a turbo laser in the front to shoot at the incoming big ships, and maybe batteries or ions in the aft when you get closer
