so we have finaly started our local CC campaign (and i am actualy the imperial grand admiral lol)
our playgroup decided to make no houserules and just stick to the rules by-the-book before we decide for ourselves if the campaign has balance problems.
i initialy disagreed, but then my thoughts were the following:
-Show of Force is definitely much easier than Hyperlane Raid.
-Rieekan sounds overpowered, and maybe he is, but the interdictor could tone him down. not completely, but maybe rebels need all the help they can get?
-most importantly, it is my belief that the rebels are very poor playerskill-wise. one of them is solid, one of them is way too passive (not "properly defensive", but "overtly passive" if you know what i mean, gives ground and loses good firing angles too easy), and the last of them is just realy, realy bad because he is new and we will even "coach" him with friendly games. whereas, in the imperials, its me, another player that is solid just not super aware of the meta, and a player that i think is better than me. (he believes not, but i believe i just build better lists and he is so much better at actualy playing).
is it silly to play, under these circumstances, with unchanged show of force/hyperlaneraid/rieekan? i believe that is a "net gain" for rebels and maybe they need it?
the campaign started real bad for the rebels. we did show of force with screed in a spynet location, to prep a better attack next turn, and they attacked two of our +2 bases. only one battle has been played, base defense their worst player vs our worst player. but it was such a root that i am starting to feel glad i let rieekan be OP. (399-22 for us; nothing escaped, 399 scarred)
idk how to feel about the whole thing. thoughts?
