400pt Rebels Fun, Wave 1

By Drasnighta, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

Well, its time to have some fun stuff, before diving back to 300 for our Sullust Redux.

So, in the meantime... a 400pt list, using only what I have in Wave 1 (1 of each expansion, 2x of the Squadron boxes)...

Design Principal - 134 of 134 in Squadrons.

Beyond that, let's just stack on some upgrades to my notoriously upgrade-light Fleet and go!

[ REBEL FLEET (393 points)
1 • Assault Frigate Mark II B - Garm Bel Iblis - Intel Officer - Gunnery Team - Electronic Countermeasures (118)
2 • Nebulon-B Escort Frigate - Raymus Antilles - Nav Team - Yavaris (73)
3 • Nebulon-B Support Refit - Nav Team - XI7 Turbolasers - Salvation (68)
4 • B-wing Squadron (14)
5 • B-wing Squadron (14)
6 • B-wing Squadron (14)
7 • Keyan Farlander B-wing Squadron (20)
8 • Y-wing Squadron (10)
9 • Y-wing Squadron (10)
10 • Y-wing Squadron (10)
11 • Luke Skywalker X-wing Squadron (20)
12 • A-wing Squadron (11)
13 • A-wing Squadron (11)
14 • Objectives - Precision Strike - Hyperspace Assault - Minefields (0)

Madness! I'm going to have to pace my activations well... I am likely to be in a good position due to the Squadron Deployments during Deployment, but really, that's where the advantages end ...

Hyperspace Assault I might simply replace with Contested Outpost, too - I like it when Imperials roll towards me.

Nice! By my count, that's exactly 134 points of squadrons, so good job there. :D

I agree, contested outpost seems like a great mission for a bomber cluster like this. Hyperspace Assault could be good, too, obviously, but no imperial army is going to enjoy flying towards/into/through that cloud of anti-ship squadrons.

At least not until Raiders hit... and even then, maybe not. :P

I was apparently drunk on the fact I got to play, and in doing so, completely botched everything up....

Played against a 5x Corvette, 1x AF list, with a trio of A-Wings and Tycho for support...

My mistakes were legion, so I shall be repentant.

I shall not Split my Fleet on Deployment.

I shall not offer Salvation as a Sacrifice.
I shall not protect my Assault Frigate by leaving it out of Battle.
I shall not space out my Fighters and leave gaps for Corvettes to drive through unmolested.

I shall not split my Fire to damage but not kill anything.

I shall not have dice running so cold... (All blanks on Salvation's opening Shot, 4x Black Die Yavaris Y's all blanks)
