You have initiative

You have activations

You have Isard and you can exploit it

You have 7 crits per round as minimum

You have antisquad batteries

You can reroll a lot to more crits or more damage to squadrons

You have speed and maneuverability

What else do you want?

Of course you can remove Montsferrat and add another ordnance expert but I like montferrat and give you a better chance to protect your flagship.

It can destroy every ship but imperial in one round! Vic a home one have 8 hull but the chance of getting structural damages with seven face up cards is easy.

That's....a lot of money. lol

Its a LOT of Hope, too... A Lot of Hope to get Close and not destroyed on the way... You'll get whittled down quickly...

But, as you say, it does have inherant advantages - Initiative, Activations...

but it has its disadvantages - being primarily close range, and not to mention, Carpark HELL to try to move everyone without playing Bumper Cars, and still be effective...

With the evade token and the speed 4, close range is not a problem. Of course, the raiders are weak, but i think he can survive a shot. You can't shoot all of them. And for the price...

The objectives must be dangerous territory, for avoid overlapping effects, ambush in order to divide the enemy and precission strike. The last could be really great as you can achieve 105 vp plus kills.

Lose the initiative could be a disaster. You don't want Advanced gunnery, or Minefields with this list.

How to move this is a problem anyway, but some games and you probably found the key.

Anyway it is not a realistic list. I'd never buy all these but the only thing that I'd put in front of this without feeling fear are 6 gladiator with proton torpedoes, hahahaha

Shoot-Then-Move is the Great Equaliser to Glass Cannons :D

You included Issard? I like this man...

I might suggest swapping out a few ships to add in Demolisher and Insidious. Those two GSD's each flanked by 2 raiders will be brutal, and very cool looking on the table.

Actually, it might only be 2 GSD's and 3 RSD's, but thats still cool. Still lots of black dice.

Might want to add the one 20 point admiral, so you can go at speed 4 to catch them in your raiders, then drop speed to two to stick on them, and speed back up to 4 if they try to double arc you.

3 RSD's,

LOL RSD.... Raider Star Destroyers.... Nice way to call them

Anyway, I'm rather disturbed that there is a lack of GSD Demolisher.

8 RSD under Screed.... Looks like a suicide flotilla

This was the extreme thematic idea (lots of crtis through the shields). Of course the next step would be make some change to optimize it. I haven't worked on it yet but... I'll do.

I like ozzel but I think admiral "Scrits" has more sense on this.

The new. Basically the same but adding demolisher and insidious (this one doesn't make me crazy but for 3 points...)

There are 6 ships. More than the most of the heavy ship list.

Sorry for the spanish names. I have a really cool app to build fleets and the wave 1 is already translated.

Demoledor, Insidioso, Clase Gladiador... that's hilarious :D

(I can hear Constantino Romero pronouncing those in my head)

God save Constantino Romero!!

I saw the Lion King musical in Madrid and Mufasa is not Mufasa without his great voice.
