Opponent has MC80+Dual Assault Frigates in a conga line? Counter it with Konstantine! Decrease the speed of the lead one, and INCREASE the speed of the rear two. Ram damage for EVERYONE!
Use G8s on the lead ship for even more ramming shenanigans...
The possibilities for this guy are endless.

ahah, that's some 3 Stooges shenanigans right there. I'll have to keep that in mind in my next game but fortunately I don't run conga-lines.
Really, wave 3/4 should just have been called Shenanigans.

I admit, that made me chuckle.
"It's a trap!"
"Well, yeah, I mean duh! What do they teach you guys at Fish Academy anyway?"
Rookie Armada player here. What is a "Conga Line"? I know the term from other war games, just not Armada.
Exactly as it sounds.
Some Rebel ships are all broadside based, which leads to them lining up side-facing the enemy at the start of the game, and effectively following themselves as they navigate around you, trying to keep you in that side.
Ah, got it. Using naval tactics. Makes sense I guess. Thought. Not sure this would work, due to the heavy firepower the Imps ahve up front, but, would crossing the T work while using Reb hvy cruisers? I don't think it would, so, just wondering

It was absolutely huge in Wave 2... What with Ackbar adding extra Red dice, effectively, to every attack at that point... And depending on ships, you moved fast enough to be crossing out of those huge front arcs all the time... Keeping the battle at Range meant you were at an advantage.
But many things in the game have evolved recently, so its not as prevelant as it once was.
Yeah, using a squadron of cruisers to cross the T on a couple Imp Star IIs would leave a cruiser dead in front of the Imp Stars which would leave the cruiser dead.
Thing is, on the Face of it, it worked. Really Well.
I mean, Toss "Ackbar" into the Search engine and look at all of the people who firmly believed, to this day, that Ackbar is "OP" because of how well it worked.
Until people started to ignore the "toilet bowl", and instead, jam a Raider, or Demolisher, into the nose of the lead ship.
The bowl was made famous with triple AFMK-IIs, for the most part.. Since each of them could be throwing 5-6 Reds at 2 Enemy Ships, thanks to Gunnery... Then Evaded the long-range counter-fire.
Ok, now I know how the newbies in Flames of War or WH40K felt when they joined the forums there, (IINO, Zerg Rush, Rhino Rush, T-Dump, etc). Sorry, Toilet bowl and AFMK-IIs? I've been playing for about a week. Couple games with teh core set and new to the Armada forums, (but pretty big in Rebellion and IA, so, not a total newb.... yay me)

AFMK-II - Assault Frigate.
Imagine the Circle that Assault Frigates do as they run around you.
Congratulations. You're in the Toilet Bowl that they're circling... So what does that make you?

Got it and... oh....
Thanks
Yeah, it really is that crass. But hey, that's lingo... So in regards for that, this should help:

The old naval term would be Battle Line or Line Astern.
