I was the chief judge and organizer of the first Armada tournament in Oklahoma City today. Though this fleet's player came in second in a squeaker of a tournament it was in my humble opinion the best performing fleet. If the dice had been a bit kinder this fleet would have won the tournament.

VSD-I (126-points)

Corrupter

Admiral Screed

Engineering Team

Flight Controlers

Expanded Hanger Bays

GSD-II (79-points)

Demolisher

Assault Concussion Missiles

Squadrons (95-points)

Major Rhymer

Soontir Fel

TIE Advanced x2

TIE Interceptor

TIE Fighter x3

Objectives

Advanced Gunnery

Dangerous Territory

Hyperspace Assault

Hmmmmmm depending on the tactics used, one could split the squadrons as needed or keep them together for a Rhymer ball. . . Hmmmm

Using the VSD 1 as a scare tactic and using it to corner engagements could work.

Did this player go second more often or forced to be first due to being at 300?

In the game he dismantled me in he went first. Can't say about the others. Of course my first salvo with Salvation and Concentrated Firepower (5 red dice) rolled 2 hits. My second salvo with the same set up rolled 3 hits.

enginnering team how?

that's the dude in the hat slot, same as engine techs, which the VSD lacks

anyway, carrier VSD + demolisher is a very common, effective permutation of imperial lists apparently

Eep! you are right. I am sure it was an honest mistake. I didn't notice it at the time (or when I typed up this report) and it was that player's first actual games. As it was that had no real effect since he never used a Repair command in the game I played against him. Don't know about the others though...

That Imp List looks very squish to 4/5 Rebel ship builds. Ignore the fighters and just smash the Ships to victory.

I run this atm as Rebels. It chews through VSD's and barely bat's an eyelid at Glads unless there are 4 of them. Neb's weaken up the front/one side hullzone then the Frigate pounds it. A-wing's because I like A-wing's and they can be used to delay enemy fighter/bomber swarm.

Neb B support with X17 Turbolasers and Salvation.
