ACKBAR APPRECIATES AMIDSHIPS ANGER

By CenterPoint, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

I played this yesterday and realized what utter and destructive power it truly has.

5 red and a blue dice from one side with cf, with 4 out the other side

or 2 reds and a blue from both front and sides if i dual arc.

this list is actually really mean

It's a good swarm list, but take a look at Turbolaser Reroute Circuits instead of Enhanced Armaments.... they are much better for the CR-90 swarm and with the extra 15 points, plus the one spare you already had, you get another YT-2400 :-)

to be honest, i have run TRC's ad-nauseum in swarm lists.

they are fun, and they have their place...

but running these were a hoot. 1st turn I banked concentrate fire commands to have the token ready for rerolls and I did not see a painful number of blanks.

and 5 dice coming out of a ship worth 54 points made it hard for my opponent to pick what he wanted to shoot at.

I also took to shooting "through" my own ships throwing 4 reds with concentrate fire and obstruction. this led to 9 dice attacks (often to the same shield). my opponent was running a demsu list and this combo was putting his raiders down quick. My yt's also did a decent job of holding his firesprays at bay also

Put Intel officer on as many as you can and they become flotilla killers as well.

You are forgeting admiral Akbar restricts you to only your right and left arcs. Unless you chose to fly right down the middle splitting their force.

so I ran this list last night against a buddy running my Dodonna's Demons list. I have to say both lists preformed well, but this list was NUTS! i managed to kill the liberty in 2 turns with concentrated fire from 3 corvettes. 5 total attacks with 5 red dice each totally neutered the liberty of its defense tokens. and although it killed a corvette as a last ditch effort, it still died rather quickly.
