So, this is an idea I had for a fun little contest. There is a tournament this Saturday at my local game shop and I will, naturally, be competing. I have done well at previous tournaments and even won my local Sullest event. So, I know how to play and I know how to build a fleet. Here's the thing, I have so many ideas floating around that I cant even get close to picking a fleet. So rather than me listing a few ideas and you guys critiquing them...we will hold a competition where my fleet will be built by you guys.
This is how it is going to work. Submit your best/favorite rebel fleet using the supplies I have. Follow the rules and construct a "real" fleet and I will consider it for my pick. Whichever fleet I pick will win the contest and I will field that fleet EXACTLY* as submitted in the tournament. I know its not the best prize in the world, but its fun; and admit it, you'd like a stranger to be forced to rep your fleet. Furthermore, you will get a detailed battle report on the fleets performance. So, you can use this as an opportunity to see how a fleet would perform that you might be timid to field yourself.
Restrictions & Rules:
1. Fleets must follow restrictions based on available cards and models. (I cant play what I don't have, AND IM NOT BUYING MORE, right now.)
2. Fleets must be Rebel, me and an imperial player share stuff together and he's imperial.
3. Fleets must be realistic. I wont even consider stuff like 1 juiced AF and one corvette.
4. Fleets must be 400 points or lower.
5. If two fleets are exactly identical or very similar, they will be considered the same and credit will go to the initial submitter. Don't just swap slaved turrets for TLRC and call it a new fleet.
6. Fleets must follow all standard rules and not include non-applicable upgrades.
7. The OP reserves the right to add, remove and change rules as necessary. (But will try not to.)
8. If less than 5 people submit fleets by Saturday at 0800 (U.S. East Coast); then it will be declared no contest and I will build my own fleet.
9. Judging will be done entirely by me and results will be posted on Saturday @ 0800. However, feel free to add reasons why you believe your fleet is strongest overall OR whether you enter or not, feel free to provide input towards your favorite (or least favorite) fleet. However, no negative comments. If you describe why one fleet is better than another, that's fine, but don't try to demean someone else's effort
To build I have:
Two core sets
3x gladiator expansion
1x victory class expansion
2x ISD expansions
1x Nebulon Expansion
1x corvette expansion
2x rebel squad expansion
2x Assault frigate expansion
1x Mc-80 expansion
2xMc-30 Expansion
4x Raider Expansion
2x Rouges and Villans
Please don't be afraid to post, its a free contest and its for fun more than anything. I'm just curious what everyone thinks is the best rebel play and where everyone is sitting right now. The winning pick will be based on meta game, practicality and big points for originality. Happy fleet building and may the force be with you.
*Since I do share upgrades with a Imperial player, cards will be changed on a needed basis. I don't want to change your fleet at all but if I must, I must. X17 turbolasers are in the shortest supply of used cards with only three between the two of us.
P.S. Objectives are optional but appreciated.
