400 Rebels - Making the Best of Wave 1

By Drasnighta, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

So, we're getting to the point that Wave 2 is coming upon us, and when it does hit, if I havn't won anything at Sullust when it reconvenes at our local for their second kit - then I'll be stick with Wave 1 only until well into the new year.


So, that being said, I'm trying to make the best of Wave 1 Right now.

[ REBEL FLEET (400 points)
1 • Assault Frigate Mark II B - Garm Bel Iblis - Gunnery Team - Advanced Projectors (110)
2 • Assault Frigate Mark II B - Gunnery Team - Electronic Countermeasures (86)
3 • Nebulon-B Support Refit - Intel Officer - XI7 Turbolasers - Salvation (71)
4 • Nebulon-B Escort Frigate - Raymus Antilles - Yavaris (69)
5 • B-wing Squadron (14)
6 • B-wing Squadron (14)

I've got 1 each of Wave 1 to work with, with 2 Squadron packs, and with a second AFMK-II that is Ship Only (no attendant cards, otherwise I'd be doubling up Advanced Projectors)

Thoughts on it? Its basically an evolution of my standard 300 which took 5th of 12 at the last Sullust, but I'm already trying not to feel horrendously outmatched with Wave 2 on the Horizon.

I like it

I'm running a similar list tonight in a 400 point Wave 1 game against 2VSD and 2 GSD plus some squadrons I'm assuming.

Here is my list

REBEL FLEET (406 points)

1 • Assault Frigate Mark II B - Mon Mothma - Gunnery Team - Advanced Projectors – Xi7 Turbolasers (121)

2 • Assault Frigate Mark II B - Gunnery Team - Advanced Projectors – Xi7 Turbolasers (91)

3 • Nebulon-B Support Refit - XI7 Turbolasers - Salvation (64)

4 • Nebulon-B Escort Frigate - Raymus Antilles - Yavaris (69)

5 • B-wing Squadron (14)

6 • B-wing Squadron (14)

7 • X-wing Squadron (13)

8 • Luke Skywalker (20)

Just got to drop 6 points somewhere....thinking of probably dropping one of the Xi7s on one AFB

On your List, I'd keep the XI-7s and drop Luke down to an X-Wing. I'd keep him if he was Scatter-Brace, but with Brace-Brace, I'm just not a fan of him... The X-s are to pin down fighters while the B-Wings do the Double Tap.

But that's for me, and how I'd tweak yours for my own use :)

I agree luke would be used more if his brace was a scatter. But list looks good. And i love x17 with intell officer. Yhey use brace and it gone, but can only redirect 1 shield unless the have apt

Thanks for the advice chaps.

I've never used Luke before but was just thinking that a double tap Luke could seriously hurt something.

I love Xi7 and Intel Officer together but that means dropping somethings else. Couldn't really decide what to lose to include 2 or 3 Intel Officers as that's 21 points from somewhere.

Knowing what you have for ships Dras, here's a variation on a list of mine. ( I have a one more AFII than you).

AFIIB w/Gen D,GT,ecm,EA

AFIIB w/GT,AP

Neb support w/salvation,XI7

CR90a w/Jaina

CR90b w/dodonna p,Leia

2 x Awing

397

I love Yavaris and 'B's too....this list is fun though... :)

AFIIb w/Gen D,intel,GT,AP,EA

Neb escort w/Raymus,Yavaris

Neb supp w/intel,XI7,Salvation

Neb supp w/nav T
