Fun write up!

Minor edit. Your fleets are 400, not 3. I was like "that's a lot at 300!"

Love the reports!

Wish there was more information on what happened each turn.

I have been waiting for someone to come up with this. . . Might want to try this with a Nebulon-B list.

As a tactical comment,

I think a counter to the "Pistons of death", is a far deployment and squadron screen, then a boost to full speed. At least two turns of squad shooting before "impact" should whittle the corvettes down. Then the boost to full speed passes the corvettes.

It can be tough but I think it's a one trick passing gimmick pony.

Oops, it is 400, you're right!

I also think the Cruise Missile list is a bit of a one trick pony. Has its counters for sure! BUT it will be out there.

My version!

I'm not sure how I feel about the MC80 in the cruise missile list vs. just 3 more cruise missiles. It's worth testing, certainly.

The Ackbar gunline seems like the logical counter, but if you focus on spamming corvettes, do they have enough to stop you before you devastate them? Current testing is inconclusive.

However, if you are going to play this list, do we not have to call it the Riekamikazes? And given that rebels are white and red already, I'm sure someone could come up with a nice Rising Sun paint scheme...

The MC80 definitely didn't do anything for me, but I only own 5 'Vettes! Thought about adding in 2 Nebs. They're as cruise-missile-y as they come, second to the 'vette of course.

I'd love to have seen a video of this battle! Looks like a fun list to run. I only have 4 Vettes (

More video to come! Streaming tonight around 6:30 EST. http://www.twitch.tv/wwpdsteven

My "iRican" list is, in my opinion, the list I have been trying to counter-peer list to. So far I've been dabbling down a heavy squadron Raider list.

Ya! I said it! A heavy squadron list manipulated by Raiders! Possibly to finesse-y for me. Knife list doesn't match well with my hammer mind.

I hope this thing is just a gimmick list that proves to yield too many points to field in competetive play.

I think that's exactly the drawback. Bleeds points like crazy.

Agreed! I love getting AARs on games, but more round to round details would be awesome.

It's a fine line between producing reports people will actually read and giving them all the meat they could want.

This RieekRAM option is very cool and a welcome addition, if you ask me, to the "what I need to consider while making a list" environment.
