Hi guys here is a challenge for you, how about selecting a 400 point force without upgrades, without character cards, but with capital ships and fighters, and both sides fleet commander is the lowly veteran captain. Now the question is who is the best leader? Since there is no advantage via the cards etc, now it comes down to playing with what you have and making up your own strategy. No awesome one shot kill shots, no nasty skill sets etc, just a bare bones fleet and getting the best out of it you can

Ironically this is how i build my tourny fleets. Minus the captain thing of course.

I tend to keep my lists low on upgrades here is a list that I have ran twice and it has left the both Rebel Fleets as space debris.

Victory Star Destroyer Class II 85pts

Admiral Motti 24pts

Victory Star Destroyer Class II 85pts

Gladiator Star Destroyer Class II 62pts

Gladiator Star Destroyer Class II 62pts

10 TIE Fighter 80pts

Total 398pts.

Here is a list that I want to try out soon, you could easily drop the Gunnery Teams and add some Fighters.

Victory Star Destroyer Class I 73pts

Gunnery Team 7pts

Admiral Motti 24pts

Victory Star Destroyer Class I 73pts

Gunnery Team 7pts

Gladiator Star Destroyer Class II 62pts

Gladiator Star Destroyer Class II 62pts

Raider Corvette Class I 44pts

Raider Corvette Class I 44pts

Total 396pts.

More points spent on dice and hull points is better than points spent on some gimmick in my opinion.

Yup.........funny thing.... many ships and as many fighters you can squeeze in = many more shots= and a lot of targets for your opponent..........as they say quantity is a quality all its own If you have 6-8 ships + a lot of cheap fighters = a hell of a lot of shots.........Math is simple you shoot out 8 shots yes you may kill a ship but if you get 20 shots back then I hope you have good shields and hulls...

How about this list.

Flag Ship.

• Imperial Class 1 Star Destroyer. 110pts.
• Admiral Motti 24pts.

Total 134pts.

Fleet Ship 1.

• Imperial Class 1 Star Destroyer. 110pts.

A good list now pull up an alliance so we can compare then go at it.

Currently I'm an Imperial only player. However I am toying with the idea of getting a Rebel Alliance Fleet in the New Year.

Not easy for rebels, but I am fairly new and I don't like Nebulons....

MC80 Assault Cruiser

Jan Dodonna

Assault Frigate MKIIA

Nebulon B Support Frigate

Corvette A

Jania's Light

Corvetta A

Dodonas Pride

Leading Shots

4 A-Wings

Had extra points that I couldn't use for anything else... Nebulon B and 12 pts of upgrades, could have gotten me a MC30c Torpedo Frigate...
