Rebel Strike list

By Teloch, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

So, I don't normally play rebels but I came up with a list that I thought would be fun to try.

criticise away!

Rebel Strike

Faction: Rebel Alliance
Points: 399/400

Commander: General Rieekan

Assault Objective: Precision Strike
Defense Objective: Hyperspace Assault
Navigation Objective: Superior Positions

Nebulon-B Escort Frigate (57 points)
- Salvation ( 7 points)
= 64 total ship cost

Nebulon-B Escort Frigate (57 points)
- Yavaris ( 5 points)
= 62 total ship cost

[ flagship ] MC80 Battle Cruiser (103 points)
- General Rieekan ( 30 points)
- X17 Turbolasers ( 6 points)
- Overload Pulse ( 8 points)
= 147 total ship cost

1 Wedge Antilles ( 19 points)
2 X-Wing Squadrons ( 26 points)
1 Keyan Farlander ( 20 points)
2 B-Wing Squadrons ( 28 points)
3 A-Wing Squadrons ( 33 points)

Downgrade Salvation to a support frigate to free up points.

Buy fighter coordination team for Yavaris and either Veteran Captain, Ray or Flight Commander.

Swap some A wings/Keyan for Jan and 1-2 YT2400. You can't activate all the fighters so mixing in a little Rogue will help and you need intel to get the bombers to attack ships.

Mon Karren may be better on the big ship than XI7s. Gunnery teams will get you 2 shots out the front which I think is better than OL Pulse.

If you are going Rieeken, then you should go with more Aces instead of large Qty of squadrons (especially since you cannot activate all you have without tokens). (maybe something like: Wedge, Dutch, Keyan, Dash, X-wing, Tycho, Jan)

Include Jan; otherwise your bombers will get locked down easily and be worthless.

OP doesn't do you so much... Gunnery Teams and H9's will let you murder Flotillas if you think you are facing them. Lots of options on this ship... choose based upon what you plan to face.
