A-Wing MVP

By Glucose98, in Star Wars: Armada

There's so many options. And I think they're all viable. I love this game!

:)

Tie interceptor with dengar becone counter 3. With a reroll of 1 dice for swarm. Or jumpmaster with rhymer and bomber means your a wings locking him down are heavy and the bombers can fire at triple their normal range on your ships.

...and counter 4 with howl runner nearby as well.

I feel like at that point you've invested a huge pile of points into a squadron blob that just lurks around yelling "come at me, bro!" at which point the Rebel player can either choose to engage you or more likely ignore you as best he can. That super blob does not do very well against ships and so if your two fighter clouds go their separate ways, his will have the better end of the deal.

I'd much rather use something more cost-effective such as TIE Fighters+Howlrunner+Flight Controllers. That puts a dizzying number of dice on the table and while Counter will hurt, I've found it can generally get a pretty speedy resolution to the dog fight, particularly if you can spare a bit of anti-squadron firepower to help push 1 HP A-Wings over without having to attack them again with TIEs and suffer the Counter 2. Raiders will help here, as will ISDs with their better anti-squadron batteries.

Just add Flight Controllers to the interceptors, for 6 anti-squadron/counter 4! If you're gonna invest in the blob, invest all the way! :P

That said, I agree with Snip, Dengar + Howl + Interceptors is probably overkill against most lists (and still incredibly fragile). Dengar + Howl basically makes ordinary TIEs into Interceptors (just slightly reduced speed), for 3 points less, which adds up to quite a few more models (or less points for the same amount of punch, which leaves more for ships).

But if you want that blob of death, go for it. ;)

What does MVP stand for?

Either you are trolling or you honestly dont know...either way it stands for Most Valuable Player.

Since this info is not stored in human DNA and I havn't heared or read about it before whatsoever, no Im not trolling.

I think you picked up the opportunity to troll me for asking a question.

Haha, it blows my mind that someone doesn't know what MVP means in 2015. Sorry, but that's really surprising.

Why in the deepest pits of... would a non-USian&non-sportsfan this expression??? Sorry, but THAT'S really surprising. Blows my mind it does.

It's kinda used everywhere though. You see it in stocks and business, every sports has it, employees can get called mvps. Even grocery stores use it... Like mv_ for whatever you want to call most valuable, its as common as CEO or VP

It is used in a lot of places, but it is not universal.

I mean, take Australia where I grew up, to use your Examples:

every sports has it - No, Cricket has "Man of the Match". Australian Rules Football simply has Votes, and then the overall is the Brownlow Medal.

employees get called MVPs - again, Employee of the Month.

It is entirely possible to not be exposed to it.

I was not until I moved to Canada 5 years ago.

Indeed. It is very frequently used through business and by customer-orientated enterprises.

Cricket has mvps, least some of the leagues do. And I could've sworn Australian rugby had an mvp, might've been player of the year, they're synonymous in the US.

- they're synonymous in the US.

Which is the core of the issue being stated here. It is possible. Not likely, but it is possible - especially if you are outside of the US. :D

I'm no expert, but I think we just might be possibly off-topic. Maybe.

This kind of arrogance amuses me. But I'm not surprised.

Uh sir, its still literally about the topic :P

I will just interject that even here in the US, while most everyone knows what "MVP" stands for, there's not really any agreement as to what it actually means. Even when all-time greats are involved. Anyway, back to the other topic at hand...
