Looking To Run Dual MC80 With Support

By SmurfWedge, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

Hi chaps

I've always wanted to field dual MC80's

Think with the loadout they have the firepower needed to hurt

Thoughts on the below list?

Pretty much not going to Conga line but try and Slash as much as possible....basically straight up the middle at a slight angle and then engine techs to manoeuvre where needed

Faction: Rebel Alliance
Points: 397/400

Commander: Admiral Ackbar

Assault Objective: Most Wanted
Defense Objective: Contested Outpost
Navigation Objective: Intel Sweep

CR90 Corvette B (39 points)
- Tantive IV ( 3 points)
- SW 7 Ion Batteries ( 5 points)

[ flagship ] MC80 Command Cruiser (106 points)
- Admiral Ackbar ( 38 points)
- Engine Techs ( 8 points)
- Electronic Countermeasures ( 7 points)
- XI7 Turbolasers ( 6 points)
- Leading Shots ( 4 points)

MC80 Command Cruiser (106 points)
- Defiance ( 5 points)
- Engine Techs ( 8 points)
- Electronic Countermeasures ( 7 points)
- XI7 Turbolasers ( 6 points)
- Leading Shots ( 4 points)

2 X-Wing Squadrons ( 26 points)
1 Wedge Antilles ( 19 points)

It is a list I have looked at long and hard.

One point I might suggest.

Drop Wedge down to a normal x-wing, he's not getting you much and add Raymus Antilles to the CR-90. This will allow you to pass two tokens a turn, one to each MC-80.

Hmmm didn't think of that.....I LIKE IT!!!

Cheers for that

Raymus taintive is amazing in this list. Those engineering and nav tokens.

Careful with Ackbar, you are going to want to shred fighters with the MC80's, and guess what, they hide in your front arcs.

I would drop Wedge for Jan and her braces personally.

Consider tractor beams.

Can just drop sw-7's for Raymus. What are you thinking sending Raymus into battle!

Great. Thanks for the advice.

I usually run Jan and 3 X-Wings and it works great. Maybe I should get her in then.

Haha. I wasn't going to send him in but the SW7s just give the option of doing some damage if he needed to get involved.....youre probably right though. Drop the SW7s to add a few more points to use

Based on the above advice.....new list time

I need mercs in this game :-)

I like the Empire list too....but I'm mainly a Reb player.

I do have 2 of each of the Empire ships though so could run the Imp list too. Love having big ships on the board

currently thinking of taking this to a store championship

The MC80's are rocking an Engineering of 6 before tokens 9 with that should help keep them alive

(the Neb holds back a bit to keep it alive)

Can someone explain to me please who Tantive/Rymus works ? Tantive says 1 ship gains a token so how can you pass a token to 2 ships per turn ?? what am i missing?

As far as I can tell this is how it works

Reveal Command Dial - lets say engineering

You don't spend the Dial yet as Raymus gives you a matching token for free without spending the dial

Get Raymus engineering token to the corvette but before adding it you....

Tantive the engineering token to another ship

Then you spend the command dial to add an engineering token to the corvette but before adding it you....

Tantive that engineering token to a 2nd ship

I don't think it is bad at all mate but like I mentioned in your thread I would drop Redundant Shields for ECM on both the MC80s
