Nebulon Archer list

By Mad Cat, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

I thought this may be a good answer to big hitting Ackbar lists and double ISDs. The double brace of the Neb-B and lack of any redirects makes enemy XI7s useless and intel officers less effective. Home one accuracies also loose their potency unless you get a second one.

Rebel Fleet 400/400

Neb-B Support Frigate, Salvation, Slaved Turrets. 64

Neb-B Support Frigate, Mon Mothma. 81

Neb-B Support Frigate. 51

Neb-B Support Frigate. 51

Neb-B Escort Frigate, Yavaris, Antilles. 69

B-Wing. 14

B-Wing. 14

B-Wing. 14

Millennium Falcon. 26

Dutch Vander. 16

I was thinking of swapping the Falcon for 2 X-wings but then squadron activations are mostly limited to 3 (Yavaris with Ray). YT-2400 could replace Dutch to keep my anti fighter squadrons all rogue but Dutch/Falcon/Yavaris double tap can win me a large dogfight if the B-wings get caught.

Tactics are 4 Nebs with focus fire plod forwards with their double braces reducing incoming fire. Yavaris joins them with fighters close by to discourage flank runs by Demolishers/MC-30s or frontal charges by ISDs.

Do I need an initiative bid such as Wedge replacing the Falcon?

Any Idea on Missions? I was thinking:

Most wanted or Opening Salvo

Contested Outpost or Hyperspace Assault

Dangerous Territory or Minefields

one of the probs of 5 to 7 red die coming at you is that an accuracy is not unlikely. Then comes the intel officer for the other brace. I guess you want to keep those 5 frigates at about the same place relative to the enemy? Well, in my case that would be chaotic manouvering :)
