Bumped linking thread for Strategy sub forum, community supported.

By Blail Blerg, in Star Wars: Armada

Armada Strategy Thread Aggregator

This thread is intended to be an ever front-2pages aggregate of links to other forum posts/videos on strategic topics that allow new players and existing players to search for content with ease.

To make use of crowd responsibility and to alleviate putting the responsibility on one person, the first 2 pages will contain posts that are edited and updated to have links to other threads and posts.

Please make a post in the first two pages, with this format, updating as you see fit.

Please include content descriptions of links.

Please include date of edit.

Feel free to remove links and posts as they become irrelevant.

Feel free to add categories as you see fit.

After the first two pages of this thread, general strategy discussion is encouraged and please bump the thread once every two weeks ish, if it begins to become buried.

Feel free to copy my next post or improve upon my formatting.

This is a call for community effort and support. Thanks.

Guys, please copy the rest of the links and add yours to it. Don't just put one by its lonesome please. The intent is not to have one by one added links, but to be able to see them all easily within one post, based on the most recently updated.
Also, especially for the first page, the hope is that in the future you are willing to be responsible for continuing to occasionally add to your edited post.

FYI: The 3rd button on the right allows you to paste as plain text. Helpful for fleet lists. Please remember to have bid data and objectives, and most people would also love a brief 2-3 sentence how-to. such as "go first, do blah blah with this objective."

Ginkapo posted an excellent guide to deployment a few months ago. I feel that's worth stickying here.

Edit: uh oh. I posted late and only just read the instructions properly. I'll find the thread tomorrow and edit this post to be in line with the guidelines, since you can't delete posts.

Ok, the link below is to a post I made regarding squadrons as well as the thought processes and responses to the most common comments I get when I talk about it. It's not a full fleet list but rather discusses specifically building your squadrons (as an Imperial) to counter just about anything your opponent tries to use in regards to squadrons. If he didn't field any squadrons, just sic these on his weakest ship and work your way upwards while whatever ships you take start at the top of his list and work their way down.

You can easily hit 4 activations with this list, a gladiator and 2 Arqs. I prefer a carrier ISD and 2 Args if I trim the list as I explain in the post but you'll be light on upgrades and commander options. The Gladiator/2 Arqs give you a lot more upgrade flexibility.

IMO, the best out there for discussing maneuvering tactics are Shmitty's videos on that subject. Here you have them collected from his blog from his tag on the question.

I'll be happy to keep this post updated as I come across more things.

Bump...Gink mentioned this in another post. Thought it should get back on the first page.
