Fairly new to Armada, so I'm looking for some feedback on a rebel list I'm looking to give a go

(298 of 300 pts)

Flagship: (135 pts)

• Assault Frigate Mark II A(81 pts)
• Mon Mothma (30 pts)
• Ray Antilles (7 pts)
• Paragon (5 pts)
• Electronic Counter Measures (7 pts)
• XX-9 Turbolasers (5 pts)

• Nebulon-B Support Refit(51 pts)
• Intel Officer (7 pts)
• XI7 Turbolasers (6 pts)
• Salvation (7 pts)

• CR90 Corvette B(39 pts)
• Intel Officer (7 pts)
• Overload Pulse (8 pts)

• 2x A-Wing Squadron (22 pts)
• 1x Tycho Celchu A-Wing Squadron (16 pts)

• Advanced Gunnery
• Fleet Ambush
• Minefields

My thoughts are to use the cr90 to get early shots in and snipe with the nebulon b. The assault frigate will hang with the neb b initially to protect it from an early gladiator rush but it's going to be the main brawler so the use of Mothma will help lessen the damage.

intel and OLP on the cr-90b overlap a bit in their role. You could roll one of them and the xx-9s into EA for the fattie.

personally would recommend dropping olp (never got it to really work well) and going for the cr-90A. the red dice aren't as powerful, but their more flexible range will work well with the other two ships in the fleet which stress stronger range (and the cr-90a is still plenty scary at medium range)

If you go with ficklegreendice's recommendation (which I think is a good idea) consider taking Jaina's Light...so you can hide and snipe without penalty.

Not convinced by putting Mon Mothma on the AF2. I started off my lists doing that, but since that's the main brawler in your list having it as your flagship makes it double the target.

I'd take this along with what ficklegreendice and Maturin have said; I've been running Mon Mothma on a CR90a with Jaina's Light and Leia. It can use the AF2 as a screen against incoming fire while shooting past it (thanks to Jaina's Light) and allows you to pick your dial every turn on the AF2 (thanks to Leia)

Salvation looks spot-on, and the AF2 should be able to do good damage. XX-9 isn't quite as awesome without Dodonna, but Mon Mothma's still the better leader at this stage and doing two crits is still pretty awesome even if you're not getting to choose them.

I'm not entirely sold on the objectives, but then that could be down to playstyle. I would recommend considering Most Wanted and Intel Sweep as other options if you make the changes to the CR90a though.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I actually really like that idea of the cr90a as another sniper with Mothma on it. Can still be used as a flanker and as the flag can make folks choose to try and chase fir the points or risk it getting aft and doing damage. Making the changes from the suggestions (cr90 to a, leia,light title, and Mothma aboard )give me a 7 point initiative bid.

I had thought about Intel sweep as my objective initially but I like the minefields to try and force my opponent into the front arc of salvation while potentially letting the cr navigate through them. Minefields does seem popular though so it could be that I'd get that one anyway.
