Cannot Get Your Ship Out! 4/3 through 4/9

By geek19, in Star Wars: Armada

We interrupt your stream of flotilla and squadron complaining to bring you a review of General Tagge, a commander who... helps flotillas? Oh come, on, really?

Yes really.

Although the upside is I don't really recommend using him right now, so I guess there's that.

Gozanti have scatters not braces.

PT uses him for a super agressive Demo fleet. Sure you may not want to fight him turn 2, but he isnt going to give you that choice.

Derp, on the braces. Typos, everyone! It's a scatter.

I've seen the aggro Demo used with Tagge and I haven't been as impressed as I am with other commanders (like Screed or Ozzel or Jerry).

I think Tagge will be more useful as we see more ways of removing tokens. Like Sloane.

I'm skeptical. Whenever there's some kind of inclusion you can make in a customizable game (minis wargaming, deckbuilding) that is subpar but serves to counter a stronger archetype, it doesn't tend to be long-term viable. If it works, then the silver bullet fix will be popular for a time, its counter will decrease in popularity, and then the silver bullet becomes less effective all over again because it did its job and scared away its prey. If it doesn't work that well, then the silver bullet fix will be ignored in favor of simply trying to win in a different way against whatever's popular, sometimes using more soft-counter but overall more effective methods. And then you also need to consider if being particularly good against say 30% of the field is worth not being that great against 70% of the field, etc.
