List I'm messin about with...

By Gottmituns205, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

I'm taking part in a friendly comp where the Rebels have to make due with less fleet points than the empire.

Whatcha boys think of this?

Faction: Rebel Alliance
Points: 300/300
Commander: General Dodonna
Assault Objective: Advanced Gunnery
Defense Objective: Contested Outpost
Navigation Objective: Superior Positions
[ flagship ] Assault Frigate Mark II B (72 points)
- General Dodonna ( 20 points)
- Gallant Haven ( 8 points)
- Raymus Antilles ( 7 points)
- Flight Controllers ( 6 points)
- Expanded Hangar Bay ( 5 points)
- H9 Turbolasers ( 8 points)
= 126 total ship cost
Nebulon-B Escort Frigate (57 points)
- Salvation ( 7 points)
- Intel Officer ( 7 points)
- Turbolaser Reroute Circuits ( 7 points)
= 78 total ship cost
GR-75 Medium Transports (18 points)
- Bright Hope ( 2 points)
- Toryn Farr ( 7 points)
- Repair Crews ( 4 points)
= 31 total ship cost
5 X-Wing Squadrons ( 65 points)

I think trc corvette spam is in order

Reduce the Escort Frigate to a support refit. I don't think those Xs will need flight controllers when you have Toryn Far. With only 2 damage dealing ships (and unreliable damage at that), I think a bomber command center would be better for your Xwings sake than repair crews for your fleet over all. .

If the Assault Frigate goes down as currently equipped, you're screwed. It needs ECM more than it needs H9s. You could replace Raymus with Intel Officer to take care of the Flotilla scatter (and to better synergize with Salvations IO). And honestly, Salvation will probably get more utility out of Raymus than Gallant Haven. Salvation benefits more from rerolls with a CF command/token.

You might be better off with Dodonna on Bright Hope. Your fleet won't suffer if Dodonna is lost, but it will suffer if it loses a gigantic flagship that makes up half the fleet cost total. So spreading out the points could help. There are a few more suggestions I'd make, but this is a start.

And TRC spam can only do so well in a game where the rebels are down on points. Fewer targets, so the firepower will be more concentrated. And losing 1 out of 4 ships is more damaging than losing 1 out of 6 (300 vs 400 point standard). You also wouldn't be able to mass as much firepower on a single ship, so it would take longer to bring down an ISD. Diminishing returns as the rounds go by.

Please suggest away.

11 points left over. I'd want to fit Jan in there somehow. Needs 8 more points.

My problem is that you are choosing to be outdeployed AND outactivated.

Good point. You could replace the Assault Frigate with Yavaaris and another flotilla. Yavaaris gets a 3 red attack, same as the AF broadside. More narrow, more fragile, but it's a trade off for that activation/deployment advantage

Or 5 trc90s with mothma.

But who has 5 MC30 and 4 CR90s expansions? He's asking for something practical. I guess he could borrow, as this is not Vassal. I was making suggestions based on what I know he has (from the list he gave) or is likely to have.

..... well now, that might be the area i indulged in

Weeeeelllllll.....<sheepishly raises hand>

BUT, in my defense, I had A LOT of magic cards I converted into store credit at coolstuffinc.com so I'm definitely not the norm....

You're like addicts, the whole lot of you

(whispers) I was actually planning to buy two more Corvettes....
