Wave 3 speculation for VASSAL

By Green Knight, in Star Wars: Armada

I've got this urge to play around with new toys... so I might make a Wave 3 speculation extension for Vassal.

We have some images of ships and some cards, enough for me to make some rough mockups.

But there are obvious holes in the stat lines.

Does anyone care to help fill the holes with some qualified guesstimates?

Yeah we really don't know what point cost is yet...

I would guess 25ish

And they will have an officer slot

I think it is reasonable for them to be the most maneuverable ships in the game.

At speed 1 on both we have 2 ticks. If they are the most maneuverable, at speed 2 they'd have to have 2 ticks on both to match the Raider. It starts to get very speculative after speed 2, but at speed 3 maybe 2/1/2 and at speed 4(if they have speed 4) 1/2/1/2?

Less than 20pts and they would give deployment advantage better than squadrons. So must be more than 20pts.

More than 39pts and they are overpriced compared to CR90's. So less than 39pts.

25pts does sound about right.

4 of the 8 rebel upgrades are flotilla cards. At least 1 is an officer, and its possible the rest are title cards. So maybe they only have two upgrade slots.

Shield and weapon values shown on ship bases.

I'd agree somewhere around 20-25 points. They explicitly say they will be closer in points to squadrons than ships. 20-25 points feels about right for a ship that is about as thin as paper.

Kind of off topic, but I did play around with the idea of using DA's GR75 paired with rigged detonators, and just use them as disposable land mines... But it looks like that idea just took a swan dive out of a window :D

I have a first version out!

Contains ONLY the known upgrade cards*:

Agent Kallus

Toryn Farr

Bomber Command Center**

Comms Net**

Repair Crews**

Get it here!

Flotillas are right around the corner.

* I made these using the KDY builder. To be able to see text/icons, the cards are a bit larger than standard.

** Uses the Cargo icon from DA's Shipyard until the new Support category is available in KDY.

I am obviously interested too in any additional information we can get on the new stuff.
