Hello Guys.
I plan to go to a store championship and thus far, I've created a list for this purpose. The original list looks like this:
Points: 398/400
Commander: General Dodonna
Defense Objective: Contested Outpost
Navigation Objective: Superior Positions
- General Dodonna ( 20 points)
- Flight Controllers ( 6 points)
- Boosted Comms ( 4 points)
- Electronic Countermeasures ( 7 points)
Assault Frigate Mark II B (72 points)
- Flight Controllers ( 6 points)
- Boosted Comms ( 4 points)
- Electronic Countermeasures ( 7 points)
Nebulon-B Escort Frigate (57 points)
- Yavaris ( 5 points)
- Wing Commander ( 6 points)
2 X-Wing Squadrons ( 26 points)
2 B-Wing Squadrons ( 28 points)
1 Wedge Antilles ( 19 points)
1 "Dutch" Vander ( 16 points)
1 Dash Rendar ( 24 points)
1 Jan Ors ( 19 points)
My plan is to to hang in the back with the frigates and wither the enemy from afar, while the squadrons go and kill enemy squadrons. B-wings with Yavaris go for enemy capital ships, especially for any gladiators/mc30 trying to close in.
The problem is that I can't fly the Neb-B very well in concert with the frigates. In my previous test games the Neb B usually ends up in the middle of the battlefield around turn 3 or 4 and is getting killed by the enemy capital ships (but not before Yavaris kicks in and let the b-wings kick someones ass). Fun to play, but the Neb-B is a guaranteed kill for my opponent.
Now I came up with a modified list to solve the problem of free points for my opponent. I dropped the Neb and both B-wings, instead I got me a mc30 with some upgrades. My plan is that the frigates still wither the enemy ships with red dice from afar, all while spamming squadron commands to gain space superiority with the squadrons. Meanwhile, mc30s flanks the enemy and tries to get shots into the rear.
