Help request for two lists to reenter the game

By Stefan, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

Hi everyone,

after playing a lot in Wave 2, I paused the game for a while to focus on my newfound X-Wing obsession. I have now stocked my collection back up to include all current releases, but I have so far yet to play it. I'm getting a visit by a friend this week who also lacks experience with the stuff, so I though to ask you to help me create two well-balanced lists that showcase as much material as possible (especially the new one) while being allrounders. Nothing too fancy. Would anyone be so kind as to produce this kind of list? I proxy all cards, so there's no limit there, but the hard limit in terms of minis is as follows:

2x every capital ship from Wave 1 and 2

1x every capital ship from Wave 3-5

3x Fighter Packs 1

1x Fighter Pack 2

1x Rogues and Villains

1x Corellian Conflict

If anyone is interested in tackling this challenge, I'd be much appreciated.

I don't think the Liberty and Pelta work well together, your fleet lacks the main selling point of the new cruiser and has no Fleet Command. As a ship I still find the Pelta underwhelming. Let me put some thought into this, I am on a long, boring train ride and have some time for fleet building exercise.

Ok, here is a basic idea for Rebels which combines some well-loved wave2 ideas with the newer stuff:

Pelta Command: Major Derlin, Entrapment Formation, Expanded Hangar Bays

GR75: Commander Sato, Comms Net, Bright Hope

MC30 Scout: Ordnance Experts, Assault Proton Torpedoes, Admonition

MC30 Scout: Lando, Ordnance Experts, Assault Proton Torpedoes

Shara Bey, Tycho, 2 AWings, 2 Lancer

That's 384 points, so still some room for upgrades.

Thanks man!

So, I tried my best, but I don't feel the lists work very well yet.

Hey Stefan! Great to see you getting back in the game with such vigor!

On your Imperials list - I like your squads (good minimum build and can be a small threat to ships or a decent speed bump on enemy squads).

You can drop the BCC on the Gozanti. It's not worth paying 8 points for given you have no squads that need it. Maarek is your only Bomber and he can set a die to crit.

Man happy to Vassal you soon for a real test!

In the event, the Imperial list did ok. It was the Rebel fleet that got utterly owned, in large part because the fighters got tangled up by the Imperials and didn't contribute, so the Victory and the other two capitals smashed the Rebels to bits.
