It looks like a of a Charge of the Light Brigade, but with that many activations...

I'd change Salvation to Redemption, lose Engineering team altogether. Run 6 Nebs in a line or V formation with Flag ship behind/in middle to protect Rieekan. Fleet Value 395.

Not sure fleet would work but definitely surprise opponent.

Like to know how it works out if you do this

They will die just fine, and as rapidly as usual....it'll just be at the end of the turn. Good firepower though, and would certainly be entertaining!

I find this very interesting

Did you seriously buy 7 Neb-B expansions?

You can call your fleet Dead By Neb....or The Walking Neb

But I reckon it could do some damage....will be a slaughter both ways.

Dead Neb Walking ;)

They still die, just at the end of the turn. So come second round if three go boom. Then come turn 3 you have 4 ships.

So if the ship hull point are meet with dmg even if you pull a repair token they still go boom.

Red Neb Redemption.

That's my favourite but it would be even better if you actually had Redemption as a Title

In X Wing I have a theory always by enough of the 1 ship type to fill a 100pt list that is why I have 3 Defenders and 3 E Wings I never use

will I do the same with Armada :unsure:

Ill will swap Salvation to Redemption don't know why I didn't see that before

I have 3 Nebs at the moment if I can get my hands on 4 more ill do this film it and put it on youtube

I think it could take a lot of people by surprise and if im 2nd player I think I could win with the objectives I would hope my opponent would pick Opening Salvo

I am running a similar list in the 400 point Vassal tourney (has AF+A-wing+5 nebs+Garm ). It's very much a glass cannon list so far - wins big or loses big. It's still vulnerable to being flanked by Glads, for instance - learned that the hard way.

No sane opponent will choose Opening Salvo.

Only have 6 Nebs

Fleet Cost - 393

4 x (58 pts)
Nebulon-B Support Refit(51 pts)
Turbolaser Reroute Circuits (7 pts)

Adding Salvation back into the mix and give them all Turbolaser Reroute Circuits to turn those blanks gives them a world of pain

Alternately, have Slaved Turrets, leaves you 13 points to play with, but I prefer TRCs

I would chose as objectives

Opening Salvo - big first punch

Fleet Ambush - split them and charge

Dangerous Territory - damage themselves for points while you take none for them. It also gives you cover to advance

What about RebNeb Rampage as a fleet title?
