Wave 3 Fleet idea

By nermal, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

Below is my first attempt at using Wave 3 flotillas and cards.

044 CR 90-A

002 * Jaina's Light

007 * Turbolaser Reroute Circuits

030 * General Reikken
057 Nebulon B - Escort
005 * Yavaris
007 * Raymus Antilles

051 Nebulon B - Support

007 * Salvation

007 * Turbolaser Reroute Circuits (or Slaved Turrets???)

007 * Toryn Farr

018 GR-75 Transport

002 * Bright Hope

008 * Bomber Command

005 * Expanded Hanger Bays

010 * Adar Talon

020 Luke Skywalker

019 Wedge

016 Dutch Vander

021 Nym

020 Keyan Farlander

016 Tycho Celchu

019 Jan Orrs

Total = 398

Missions: Precision Strike, Contested Outpost, Intel Sweep

The idea is to use Luke and Nym along with Bomber Command, Adar, Yavaris and Toryn to do direct damage and strip defence tokens.

Any suggestions for changes are welcome.

This isn't far off what Ginkapo has in mind, if I'm not mistaken...

Although I think his plan is to take Cracken.

Slaved turrets allows you to use the evade for defensive purposes, TRC has higher overall damage.

Why run Intel Sweep over strategic positions when you have so many squadrons?

I was thinking of having an MC80 with some squadrons and the GR75s constantly repairing the MC80.

Why Intel Sweep over Strategic Positions? I've found that slow squadrons (under speed 4) tend to have trouble getting that rear shot. And, I wanted to try something different. But, you are probably right in that Strategic Positions would be a better mission option.

I take it you mean Superior Positions.

This and Precision Strike are very bad for Rieekan lists as the ships hand around too long.

Ask Green Knight or check out 2:44:00 of this battle to see why

They are good objectives to counter a Rieekan list if you have decent fighter coverage

I'll confess I hadn't considered that players could use reikan against you. Wouldn't think it would be an issue though given that you should be safely winning the squadron war
