The Corellian Conflict Squadrons

By tenchi2a, in Star Wars: Armada

Ok here are two question about this box

Which sqadrons are in it. we already know 6 what are the other 10

Rebels

1. Shara Bey: A-Wing

2. Biggs Darklighter: X-Wing

3. Rogue Squadron: X-Wing

4. Dagger Squadron: B-Wing

5.

6.

7.

8.

Imperials

1. Ciena Ree: TIE Interceptor

2. Black Squadron: TIE/LN

2nd question are there 16 new tokens or 8 two-sided one in the box.

the first would be great, but the second would mean have to buy to boxes to use them all which I would not be to happy about.

anyhow thoughts or guesses

Hopefully there will be 16 squadron discs (might as well make them double sided like they are in the starter set).

The pricing point of the campaign set doesn't seem too excessive since there is no plastic included. I may have to get a second set but only if there is a particular combo I need in a fleet including say Black Squadron and the new Tie Fighter character.

My guess is that it will be one squadron disk per unique squadron, with the other side being a standard base. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to fly, say, Biggs and Rogue squadron at the same time.

I know FFG like taking our money, but that would still be harsh. ;)

My first guess for A-wings will be Pheonix squadron from SW:Rebels. Maybe they will have Escort or Grit.

B-wing could be Ten Numb. Something like crits can cound as an extra Accuracy (kinda like in X-wing you can't cancel one of his crits)

Y-wing, either Norra Wexley or Horton Salm, no idea on what they'll do.

TIE/sa (bomber), Gamma squad, thinking Grit (still with bomber and heavy) with a 2 dice anti-squadron

There havent been any of the new wave 5 keywords hinted at in the corellian campaign....

Assuming we aren't getting sniping tie interceptors etc...

I'd love a Rogue/non escort Tie advanced and Tie Advanced character (would actually be cool if it was Darth again).

Tie Bomber - I would guess it would be something that doesnt immediately synergise with rhymer.... Grits probly a good suggestion.

I remember reading somewhere that phoenix squadron was confirmed by FFG but I cant remember where so.....

The box contains said 16 squad bases.

The A-wing squadron from Rebels is also a good bet I think, as is gold squadron for Y-wings.

you mean Phoenix squadron ^_^

Awing=Phoenix (gains Escort, now 13 points)

Bwing=Dagger (swarm, now 15 points)

Xwing=Rogue (lost escort, gained rogue, 14)

Ywing=Gold (lose heavy, gain 3rd anti-squad die, 12 points)

Fighter=Black (suicidal squad)

Interceptor=Royal Guard (gains escort, 13 points)

Bomber=Scimitar (grit, 10 points)

Advanced=Tempest (lose escort, gain grit/counter2, still 12)

I'd love to see a version of Vader with Grit or even Rogue instead of Escort

Pheonix squadron

is it really that hard to write phoenix correctly? I never noticed.

I can't spell to save my life on a good day. Be impressed that I only mixed up the "e" and the "o". :P

At least you didn't spell it with an "F" ;)

I jist realized that I hope they inexplicably include a second Awing Ace in this box so I can get Arvel Crynyd. I want his text to be something about "If you can fire on an unshielded hull zone of an enemy ship, you may remove Arvel Crynyd from play to deal 3 face up damage cards to that ship.

Remember when everyone was talking about Rouge and how important it was to the game?

I put some on once and it didn't help one bit. Distracted my foe a bit, maybe.

Anyways, I bet the interceptor squadron will be the 181st, not royal guard. Maybe the unique pilot will be carnor jax, but the squadron itself is much more iconic.

Awing=Phoenix (gains Escort, now 13 points)

Man, I hope not. Love me some A-wings, but I love them because they're cheap, quick, and flexible. What I don't want is to pay 2 more for escort on a ship with 4 hull.

It works for Black Squadron because the squadron is so cheap already and you're only paying 1 for the escort. It's a throwaway to shut down 1 attack to buy you time to get the advanced into position, while still saving a few points on Dengar escorts.

A 13-point A-wing would fill the same role, but cost over 50% more. I like counter 2, but it's not worth that much.

Green Squadron with bomber with the base black?

Is 181st in the new canon? I honestly don't know. If they are, I would think they would be the unique squadron. Royal Guard just seemed like something more interesting than "Saber Squadron"

We don't know yet.

But the Rebels Season 3 Release trailer shows not only Interceptors, but Interceptors with Bloodstripes... So one must consider the Possibility that they will be very canon, very soon.... Occam's Razor and all...
