Do the Rebels need a Demolisher?

By SmogLord, in Star Wars: Armada

@snapfist. Yes is pointless, but "no" means something much more. The simple answer is, it is a leadership tactic in business meant to tell the other person in public or private that they wasted your time and to carefully consider Wasting your time in the future before really thinking about it.

This is not a good leadership tactic. You do this to an employee and they will stop respecting you pretty darn quick.

Rebel demolisher:

- Take Monmothma and at least three CR90Bs

- Add two MC30 Torpedo frigates loaded for bear.

- Leave a good 25 point bid.

@easternking

For rebs, I prefer to run squadron heavy and have access to:

8 x-wings

4 a-wings

4 b-wings

8 y-wings

8 YT-2400's

6 H6's

2 YT-1300's

2 HWK's

I have two MC80's, 3 MC30C's, 6 CR90's, 5 neb-b's. I usually like to use neb-b's as carriers with Garm OR I run carrier mc80's with anyone but MM. I have pretty much all upgrades and multiples of the juicy ones (xi7's and TRC's).

When I run MC30c heavy, I go with lots of the YT's or a token 2XJan brick with Yavvy.

All that being said, the first ship I usually add to my list tends to be TRC-salvation support refit. Cause, you know, it's like a space big bertha and that's just awesome.

For imps, I have

3 x ISD

1 x VSD

2 x GSD

1 x RDR

10(?) tie bombers

8 tie fighters

5 firesprays

2 of everything else

I have a fondness for I1,I1,I1,R1 build with motti or screed. Or, I'll go I1,I1,I1 + tie fighters and at most ordnance experts for the I1's where they fit. I'm also quite fond of I1,I1,Clonisher,R1 builds (with screed, of course).

Thanks Dur, I'm going to play around with some builds while I'm working and I'll get back to you with my suggestions.

...

So the answer to the OP. The imperials get a Demolisher because they can say, "No" whenever they darn well like to whoever they darn well like under them. The rebels waste time with their volunteers by petting their self-esteem. Rebel Scum. So you killed the the Starkiller Base..."What have you done lately." :-)

When it posted it was so long I laughed out loud. What a windbag.

Never learned so much about an ex-golf guy and his wife while searching for the single sentence tangling the topic .. considered inserting the too long didnt read gif but finally hesitated as it would have been a platant lie.

I mean if we're dreaming up Demolisher counters, I think it wouldn't be too difficult...

Something Something Tractor Beam (or Something Something Gravity Well Projector, whatever)

Offensive Retrofit (I could see the argument for Defensive Retrofit)

You may exhaust Something Something Tractor Beam when an opponent announces his decision to activate a ship within range 1-3 that is the same size or smaller than the ship Something Something Tractor Beam is equipped to. Your opponent must activate another ship instead if possible.

Interesting. My own approach was:SS Tractor Beam (offensive retrofit)

Before an opponent's ship enters its maneuver phase, you may discard this card to place a small ship base within distance 1-5 of you. If this ship is overlapped, do not deal a damage card to the overlapping ship. At the end of the turn, remove the base from the play area.

Basically, the ability to stop an approaching ship in its tracks without slowing it to zero, still allows range limitation without being able to jump from outside long range to inside close to avoid it, and mitigates the first/last thing. Added bonus: works against conga lines too.

In fact, now that I've written it out... I've basically just described a differently-implemented flotilla. Man, I can't wait for those little guys...

Instead of a base why not move a debris or asteroid?

Intrigued by "Doggy Dog" comment embedded deep on the waffle though!

That's one position...

I would like to have a MC30 named ship that could attack after it mores :D or 4 of them ;)

It's fair to say that the Demolisher is killing Imperial list design.

The Rebs don't need a Demo, the Imps need a slight nerf.
