Rieken & Bombers

By Jamie P, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

Just having a go at a different variation on the Rieken aces:

Precision Strike

Hyperspace Assault

Dangerous Territory

MC80 Command Cruiser

General Rieeken

Independence

Adar Tallon

Boosted Comms

Electronic Countermeasures

Neb B Escort Frigate

Yavaris

Flight Commander

Fighter Coordination Team

GR-75 Transports

Bright Hope

Leia Organa

Bomber Command Centre

Jan Ors

Wedge Antillies

Dutch Vander

4x B-Wing

X-Wing

387

If you are going to go Rieekan why not tilt full on into aces? You have half your squadrons not using Rieekans ability. Why not:

Jan

Wedge

Dutch

Keyan

Nym

Dash

It's the exact same points, but gives you ace bomber power.

After some games I wanted flight controllers to burst past enemy squadrons faster and a 4th ship activation:

Precision Strike

Jamming Barrier

Dangerous Territory

Assault Frigate B

Rieekan

Adar Tallon

Flight Controllers

Boosted Comms

Electronic Countermeasures

Neb B Escort Frigate

Yavaris

Flight Commander

Fighter Coordination Team

Transports

Bright Hope

Toryn Farr

Bomber Command

Transports

Leia Organa

Comms Net

Wedge Antillies

Dutch Vander

Jan Ors

Luke Skywalker

2x X-Wing

2x Scurgg Bomber

387

I've played this "some of everything" aces build a bit and had fun with it

Nebulon-B Escort Frigate (57 points)

- Yavaris ( 5 points)

- Flight Commander ( 3 points)

- Fighter Coordination Team ( 3 points)

= 68 total ship cost

GR-75 Medium Transports (18 points)

- Bright Hope ( 2 points)

- Expanded Hangar Bay ( 5 points)

- Bomber Command Center ( 8 points)

= 33 total ship cost

Assault Frigate Mark II B (72 points)

[ flagship ] CR90 Corvette A (44 points)

- General Rieekan ( 30 points)

- Jainas Light ( 2 points)

- Turbolaser Reroute Circuits ( 7 points)

= 83 total ship cost

1 Luke Skywalker ( 20 points)

3 X-Wing Squadrons ( 39 points)

1 Keyan Farlander ( 20 points)

1 B-Wing Squadron ( 14 points)

1 Jan Ors ( 19 points)

1 Nym ( 21 points)

Objectives: Superior Positions versus Dangerous Territory. I'd think your squads would give you more mileage on Superior Positions.

Rieekan really doesn't need a huge initiative bid. One of his advantages is that you can build all the way out to 400 and be comfortable going first or second. That's a lot of points you could spend on adjusting a squad to an ace.

Gallant Haven is an absolutely wonderful title if you're going to be taking Assault Frigates with squadrons. In fact, you're likely to get a lot more mileage out of it than Flight Controllers. The look on an opponent's face when he rolls 2 damage and then you brace it to 1 and take no damage from the GH title is absolutely priceless.

Ive had good sucess with this list

Talism, consider dropping the plain X-wing for Adar Tallon and 3 points to bid or spend. The double activating bomber, wedge (kill), or dutch (toggle) flexibility depending on the battle situation is generally better than another X, unless you need that 7th squadron.
