Rebel Fleet: AF2(B), 2x MC30s, B-wings + Rogues

I tried out a fleet last night with an AF2(B) as a carrier and then two MC30s along with some Rogues.

This was mainly as I'd just gotten my second MC30 and wanted to see how the titles worked out :)

I played an Imperial Fleet with an ISD (Avenger), Demolisher, 2x Raiders with overload pulses and 2x Firesprays

The game ultimately went to the Imperials, but I found that the MC30s both worked really well at speed 3. I think I just spammed Nav orders on them that made them quite nimble and allowed me to set up decent broadsides on the ISD and Demolisher.

The AF2 and it's flock-o-bombers went toe to toe with the ISD and nearly pulled it off - I got two rounds of shooting with the bombers, but it's raw firepower carried it through..

We both found that the Rogues really came into their own late in the game - where the Imperial Firesprays hunted down Admonition over Turns 4-6 and Han + my YT-2400 finished off the ISD.

I had the AF2 maxed out to give my 5 squadron activations - think I'll cut this back to 4 and maybe swap the B-wings for Scurggs so I can maneuver at speed 3. Have to test it though.

I'm tempted to maybe swap Han for a second YT-2400 too and take Ordnance experts on the MC30s to make the most of the shots they get.

I deliberately left an ECM off the AF2 as a test. Had it been there, it may have lasted longer, but maybe not that much longer. Will try it in future. Maybe :)
