3 Imperial Lists for Sullust

By chrisrivers, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

I have 3 lists I have been mulling over. I am only going to get at most 2 games in before the tournament. Any input?

2vics 2glads (298/300)

=====================

Victory I-class Star Destroyer (73 + 26)

+ Admiral Screed (26)

+ Assault Concussion Missiles (7)

Gladiator I-class Star Destroyer (56 + 7)

+ Assault Concussion Missiles (7)

Advanced Gunnery

Contested Outpost

Dangerous Territory or Superior Positions (Not sure which one)

Might switch out ACM on one of the gladiators to get a larger bid.

I also would like advice on which list would be best. I anticipate my tournament being somewhat small and mostly Imperial.

I've come round to the idea of how important extra activations are for wave 1, which helps the first list. I also like the way those objectives work with your fleet better (I'd definitely take Dangerous Territory over Superior Positions there, your Gladiators are fast enough to race around and pick up your opponents objectives if needed, otherwise they're taking damage to prevent that). It's a shame there's no space to upgrade on Gladiator to the Demolisher is my only complaint.

If you're expecting most of your opponents to be Imperial then list 1 could have several extra activations (as your list 3 shows there's plenty of scope for 2-ship Imperial lists), and the Gladiators should have no trouble tracking down any VSDs. Demolisher could be a pain to pin down, but that's regardless of what fleet you build. If your opponent takes one and races it at you then you could try boxing it in with all your ships and forcing it to ram and stay in arc.

Here is another 3 ship list I thought of.
