Flotillas shopping list

By Polda, in Star Wars: Armada

NOOOOO! Anyone have Rebellion TIE's? Do they work?

MEL! WE NEED YOU!

Rebellion TIEs are easily 33% larger than Armada TIEs.

....

Repeat. Armada TIEs are already smaller than Rebellion TIEs.

I ended up buying 2 additional Gozanti sets because of he red dice armed variant. Its amazing how much damage can be done with a single red attack die when your opponent doesn't want to or can't spend defense tokens on it.

I always bouy only one of everything, see what they can do. If I'm satisfied, then I may buy more later.

For gameplay I would imagine one of each would be good to test the waters. As someone who enjoys the model and wants to build accurate looking fleets I feel two of each at minimum is necessary. The Rebels had a ridiculous amount of the Gallofree transports in their fleet.

I purchased 2 of each, but can see where 3 or 4 could be used. I'm still not convinced flotillas will see any play outside of adding cheap ship activations, but I'm hoping to be wrong. I'm finding it extremely difficult to justify spending 50+ points for something that barely does any damage. Having used them, I found them most useful as extra activations and shims to get in the way of enemy vessels, forcing the enemy to waste an entire attack round to deal with them.

You can easily go with one of each and play around with them. I'm expecting there to be competitive fleets with 3 or more naked flotillas, for both activations and tiny carriers.

Gameboard stream, or vassel? Linky?
So my 2 measly GR75 Slicer Beam Flotilla's were the ultimate cause for my victory I think. . .

My tractor beams did nothing but that is fine, they are the in case they can be used card, but Slicer Tools. . . OH BABY! That stopped HERO's Assault Frigate from escaping AND his MC80! If I had not messed up I might of gotten the whale as well!

The fact that Slicer Tools don't come in Transportillas* makes me want to punch many things.

Ah well, what can you do?

I'll have to get two Gozantillas* as well.

(*Curse you IFF)

Make a cool terrain piece out of the Gozantillas!

Nah, I might actually want to use them at some point. Now TIE fighter squadrons... that's a different story. I could turn some into a debris cloud :D

See if you can fit the TIEs to the bottom of the Zanti's!

Just checked if it can be done. The TIE fighters are too big for the Gozanti models and the flotilla stand gets in the way as well >.<

Are those able to fit on a Gozanti? are the wings too big for the tiny Pegs?

No Gozantis here. I will post a comparison pic with other ships later and with the Gozanti once it arrives to bolster my fleet.
