gearing up for the store champs, need to pick a list!

By psychoticmammal, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

Hey guys,

I have made a few lists that I want to run for the store events I'm going to. However, I have a limited amount of time so I'm going to have to knuckle down and pick one for rebels to practice. I would appreciate some advice on which to go for, and if there is anything glaring that needs to be changed.

Thanks guys.

The middle list looks the most balanced but other than that it is hard to tell.

I play imperials so not much of a rebel fleet builder. However, the first list looks the most menacing. Those assault frigates are vicious with ackbar. You should try and squeeze ECMs on them.

I like the first list with the whales/Mc80, most flexible by far.

IMO though I'd be using the ships to kill ships and focussing the squadrons purely as anti-squadron options and not worrying at all about bombing. Ideally I'd do rogues so you can focus ships on killing rather than squadron commands but in either case I'd not worry about Y-wings or Hwk. Just go for as much resilience as possible and ask yourself how you will kill a Rhymer ball.

Also have you considered defiance for the MC80? Just a free dice alot of the time IMO.

Great ideas though.

Ok, so if I'm going with the middle one, trying to fit in ECM and using the fighters as anti-fighters this is what its changed to, any better? Also, if I could swap out the x-wings for a-wings if thats better? it would give me 8 extra points to play with...

Deploy more Orca?!
