Rainy Day Game Summary

By Stasy, in Star Wars: Armada

So, got together with my pal for some dinner and Armada. One 2hr game then the power went out... At least we finished!

Imp Team- VSD 1 w/ Overload, Defense Liaison, and Enhanced Armament (He forgot Tarkin and I didn't catch it), 2 TIEs, 2 T/B, T/A Vader, T/A, 2x T/I

Reb Team- CR90 w/Dodonna, Escort Neb B, Luke, 2x X Wing, Dutch, Y Wing

Reb had initiation, selected to go first, picked Intel Sweep

Goal was to build 200pt fleets since we don't have many ships past the core and fighter packs. We stayed to the 3'x3' play field given the lack of points involved.

Most photos at end of turn.

Uneventful first turn. I think he was realizing his screw-up with fighter placements. Rammed his own T/I's because of it.

Second turn was more of the same. Slow and steady on both sides. I held back my fighters hoping to let him engage so I could lay down some anti squadron fire.

Turn three wasn't much better, but at least it was fighter time. My plan worked well in softening up his ships with the Corvette. He really wanted to flank with the T/I's.

Turn Four my plan started to come to fruit... but that's scary watching a VSD come front arc right at the side of your ship.

Turn Five is when we realized the game was going to come to the numbers and not see much action. I rolled hot on the squad dice, and his ship attacks were underwhelming. I was just short of another objective token...

End of Game... I don't think he bothered to move some of the fighters, but wouldn't have made a difference.

Final score 52-43 in the Rebels favor.

My only regret is not having all the squads painted. I'll have to re-double my efforts!!! Enjoy!

Nice! Yes sadly most early games involving the core ends up over fighters and objectives. It's a thing that gets better with more ships.

Can't wait to play you guys at Guardian or something

No I don't have an extra CR90 in the game duffel bag and a GSD expected to deliver on Monday...

It should make the next matches a little more exciting. Not to mention I think my pal pre ordered one of everything Wave 2. He's foaming at the mouth to unleash an ISD.
