The ultimate expression of a "extreme"

By Jondavies72, in Star Wars: Armada

Now we all know extreme anything tends to be a bit "iffy" but extreme and well focused can be quite close bed fellows. So I was just wondering if there are any extreme lists out their that anyone could see being played well and win well.

Now the one that springs to mind is the high activation, high bid list. So when does the need to go last and first get out weighed by the list just becoming too extreme to function, or is no list to extreme if played well, any thoughts ?

Example: Crazy Demo

Bid 28

activations 7

Flag ship, 88 point demolisher, Ozzel

6 bare bones raider ones.

Or: Drop the ball Doddona

bid: 25

activations 8

flag ship yavaris with Doddona

7 CR90 Bs

2 Y wings

I'm not sure that Yavaris is worth having for 2 Y Wings. Most builds probably won't be very scared of only 2 Ys, even with Yavaris.

8 CR90B's, all with SW-7, under Rieekan. ;)

Never again Ard.

I suppose a triple ISD list would be an extreme. ISD-Is with Motti and upgrades, or ISD-IIs with Motti and. . .uh, like two upgrades?

That list would also be interesting with Ozzel. More points to spend elsewhere, also ISDs going from One to Three.

8 CR90B's, all with SW-7, under Rieekan. ;)

That's extreme, have you played it at all ?

Lol, many times. Have taken it to two store championships and placed both times (i never, ever win tournaments, because I'm bad or something :) ). It's a lot of fun to play, but it's definitely a... unique way of playing the game. The best part is plopping it down across from somebody who has no idea how to handle it.

Ard, I think you get the prize for " extreme builds can be cool and work", you also get the " how much money on the same plastic space ships" prize. Because you own 8 examples of one armada ship and If you are married you can also have a choice of " most not under the thumb" or "Balls of Steel" prize.

It almost makes me want to buy five more CR90s, almost........but my wife would kill me........

Lol... I got all but three of them when they were $5/@ on Amazon a few months back. "$25 for five toy spaceships" doesn't sound nearly so bad in the context of "$50 for one toy spaceship..." ;)

And I traded for all the SW-7's.

Try mon mothma and a cr90b with Engine techs.

333 pt bid, go 2nd with all neutral nil points objectives.

Run away around all game trolling for the draw but really a technical win because you're 2nd lol

good effort Siizon, although I have to say the inclusion of a scout frigate smacks of a balanced build. if you replace it with another MC30 torpedoe with OE and ACM, you have two spare to upgrade the last MC 30 to ACMs as well. That's five identical ships.......

Great, now I have to try this build also! Haha you are right though
