the low # of activation will bite you in the ass unfortunately. Plus, both cruisers don't have a very good synergy together.

I played against a similar list with a 5 activation list and I could just wait for both cruisers to come in the firing arcs of my MC30s, Mon Karren got literally one-shotted at turn 2. And, 5-6 A-Wings are enough to counter your squadrons for the most part.

So, I know big ships are cool, but you might overdo it a little here. You might want to focus on using one and adding more activation to your list

Mon Karren got literally one-shotted

You'd need 11 damage with XI7 AND to shut down both braces to do this, AND an egregious amount of damage output, AND for him to give you a shot into the side/rear off the bat.

XI7, double accuracy, RR, CF, max damage on every black AND structural would barely do it. Is... is that what happened...?

I would love to see how this played out.

2 MC30s (torpedo variant) with double arc and APTs, and got a structural dmg on the first hit. I think I rolled 6 double hits in these 4 rolls (which means 4 ATP crits). The guy realized his mistake after he used engine tech and put himself STRAIGHT between the 2 MC30s..

I had no X17, the side shields were gone after the first 2 salvos.

How About this?

I need help because I really want to use both of my MC80s in the same list.

do you really want Ackbar? Rieekan might be better and would allow you to pick a XI-7 for Defiance.

I'm not sold on 2 Overload pulse. I would only get 1 on Mon Karren to set-up for Defiance. Plus, Gunnery Teams mean you can get the effect twice from the same arc. With the saved points, get Intel Officer on Defiance!

If you ever play that list, please tell us how it went, I'm curious as to how such a list would fare against 4 and + activations!
