Fellow Rebels,

I made the following Reikan list with resilience in mind by handing out tokens, and getting a couple decent heals off by using two support ships (both with TLRC).

Thoughts and ideas are welcome.

I am also curious on what yellow & blue objectives would be the best fit?

Should I try to trade a few upgrades for a small squad and take Fire Lanes?

Please let me know what you guys think and thanks in advance!

Rieeken is lso about giving you main named squadrons power. This fleet is going to get spread out to attack the flanks so the redemption title is one of those that would be nice but reality will set in. The good neb titles are Yavaris and Slavation. You got the right build on the salvation...check. Well you have no squadrons and in the wave II meta that just isn't very viable anymore. If you listen to nothing else...since you have poor anti squadron capabilities, then at least make the AF the A type costing you 9 points extra I believe with point reroute defense 5. I don't normally recommend the pricy PDR but sinc you don't have squads you'll need it. Get those points from dropping Leia, Antilles and Tantive IV and redemption for 14 points for the ship upgrade and PRD and use the rest for initiative. Your going to need it--escaping enemy squadrons etc.

However, how about a better idea tiredly using the bones you got:

Put Wallex on the AF instead and lando on mc30 to get your brace back to protect your admiral. Of course, I would drop the corvette 61 points and Leia, redemption, TRC 61+18 79 and put Yavaris on it instead with Raymus 79-7-5= 67. Add wedge, Dutch combo attack with Dutch first and get 6 dice with wedge after the Dutch first strike which inactivate a prime squadron. 67-16-19 32 points left and need one more for Yavaris with Raymus on it. Raymus will give you tokens so your using 3 squadrons instead of two. Luke is 20 and another X wing would use your last 13. But I think ruthless strategists on the AF for 4 and instead of Luke and another X wing go with a Y wing to tag along with RS to take the hits and leaving you with 23. Get dash for 24 by dropping ACM to APT and you are at 399.

Much much better Rieekan build with three strong squadrons protected by an AF with two blue anti squdron dice, RS, and rerolls on the blue dice. When the 3 named squads don't move and are activate by Yav they hit like 6 squadrons. Dutch can help deactivate two ships and in turn wedge throws 6 dice at those two with RS adding hits by placing them on your generic Y wing aging along to takRS hits. The RS will pepper the injured squads on deaths edge. Once you win the squadron battle you have up to 4 quality ships to bomb ships.

So I tried my list out last night and it was a complete failure. I got flanked hard by Demolisher and it was all down hill from there. I don't have much experience with Reikan but I know he can do well and I am desperately trying to get a good list going with him so I can see it first hand!

AdmiralNelson, thank you for going through and adding your thoughts and many changes. I really like the idea of the Dutch, Wedge, Y trio with Yavaris and RS on the upgraded guppy. Id like to see how well just those 3 squad would do against a medium sized imperial squad.

At this point I think Im going to scratch this list completely and go back to the drawing board.

If anyone has a good Reikan list I can check out for ideas, or more Reikan strategies, id greatly appreciate it!

I played this last night and won:

AFA 81

Rieeken 30

Defense Liaison 3 (bank second token so you can use con fire most of the time) make sure that second token is engineering so you can repair 3 shields or cpget rid of two cards on the turn you actually are for sure you will need it.

ECM 7

TLR 7
