A Glimpse of the Future? A Sloane List

By chemnitz, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

This list is extremely hypothetical, since Admiral Sloane was just spoiled (and we aren't even sure of her cost). I might switch out 2 or 3 Gozantis for a Quasar Fire, depending on its price and other capabilities. The basic idea is to fling a bunch of TIE Fighters (supported by Howlrunner, Rhymer, and Dengar) at a target to exhaust its defenses, blast it with the Avenger, rinse, and repeat. Will this be the new hotness?

Have you seen that the card has been swapped to the "non Rogue" version now, rather than the "Swarm" one?

Thanks for the heads up. I have updated it.

The one thing you'll really suffer with os inconsistency in the red dice. I'd guess you'd get the same damage from Dual Turbolaser Turrets than Enhanced Armaments over a game, for a significant price reduction.

What if I am not sitting in your ISD front arc?

I agree. You only have 1 hammer in this list, with no anvil to back it up. It'd do great against another big ship/single threat list, but smaller faster stuff can easily stay out of danger range/arc.

Now with strategic positioning, you can capitalize on the hammer's efficiency, get great shots in, and wreak some havoc, but that depends too much on how your opponent reacts. You can't present them with multiple dilemmas, and you have no follow up in the event your hammer can't get the job done in one pass
