Quad Turbolaser Cannons + H9 Turbolasers?

By Cuthawolf, in Star Wars: Armada

Does this combo work together? Once the dice have been rolled does switching a damage to an accuracy suddenly grant you an additional accuracy? And could you then use Veteran Gunners to reroll the whole thing with your new extra die?

So many questions.

Yes.

This is by virtue of the fact that all of your dice modification is done in one part of the turn, and you can choose the order of it.

There are a couple of threads in the Rules Sub-Forum that explore this concept further :)

Personally I would use sensor teams

But that means no gunnery teams... of course there's only one ship that can take double turbolasers anyway at the moment!

I think we are going to see a lot of Targeting Scrambler in Imperial list's....which makes me sad as I'm a Rebel player primarily.

Oh you have a great reroll with Veteran Gunners...how about you reroll that reroll and see if you can get lucky again

Yeah but scrambler only works at close range.

I think H9 + Quad is a bit too expensive myself. I think using them in a Home One list might work though. Would provide two accuracies which in most (ex ECM) cases will mean all your damage is going to hit. Probably an assault frigate thing with Ackbar.

Had the same idea, but not sure how effectively that combo will play out. Home one works on other friendly ships only, so to capitalize on it the most you need a couple of red-dice heavy ships. However, you dont have any "trade-back" mechanic for those rolls with abundant ACCs rolled, other than rerolling all dice after spending the needed ACCs - which is fickle with red dice.

With the typical Ackbar+AFIIs setup, I think home one plus XI-7s/HTTs still has an edge against SDs over the Quads.

Oh yeah...that's right.

Well that's a bit better then.
