I've been trying to hammer out a list for the Tournament in October. And almost everyone has caught onto my silly tricks during our recent Escalation League. So I need to figure out a few more.
So here I am, asking the internet for a little help.
I've got three running ideas for a Fleet List.
My first list is essentially my Normal Go-To strategy. Lots of Squadrons and an impressive amount of Ship firepower.
You posture through the first two turns of the game. And once you have the enemy ships where you want them, you set down the Swarm Tokens and Strike a single target with ideally all 6 available hull zones. From then on the game morphs into an exciting flying circus. And it tends to win quite often! Though not by much.
Fleet Total: 300 (I know. But my game group likes to bid for second player.)
Warship 1: 92 Pts
Assault Frigate Mk II B
-General Dodonna
Warship 2: 54 Pts
CR-90 A
-Janis Light
-Engine Tech
Warship 3: 54 Pts
CR-90 A
-Enhanced Armaments
2 X-Wing Squadrons (26)
3 Y-Wing Squadrons (30)
4 A-Wing Squadrons (44)
My Second Fleet Idea is based on a Naval Battle I once read about in High school. It was a major upset where a vastly outnumbered fleet was victorious through aggressive maneuvering. The point of this one is to charge right at the enemy and dive into the middle of their formation. Because once we've weathered the worst of the enemies firing arch's wrath, we have them!
Fleet Total: 299
Warship 1: 85 Pts
Assault Frigate MK II B (The Job of this guy is to tank, and spam Repair Commands)
-Raymus Antilles
-Advanced Projectors
Warship 2: 84 Pts
CR-90 A
-Enhanced Armaments
-Mon-Mothma
Warship 3: 54 Pts
CR-90 A
-Enhanced Armaments
Warship 4: 54 Pts
CR-90 A
-Enhanced Armaments
2 A-Wing Squadrons (22)
And the third one? Well It not quite my favorite. But it's well rounded and flexible. It's supposed to strafe the enemy and pick up objectives. It's one of those "Cover All bases" Fleets. Plus I'd have to buy a second Assault Frigate.
Warship 1: 85 Pts
Assault Frigate MK II B (Same as above)
-Raymus Antilles
-Advanced Projectors
Warship 2: 92 Pts
Assault Frigate MK II B
-General Dodonna
Warship 3:
CR-90 A
-Janis Light
-Engine Tech
3 X-Wing Squadrons (39)
3 Y-Wing Squadrons (30)
