More bombers for stick shaking

By buckero0, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

386/400 Precision Strike, Fighter Ambush, Minefields

5 activations

Neb B Yavaris, flight commander, engine techs, DTT

PeltaCommand Phoenix title, Rapid Launch Bays, Engine Techs, Adar Tallon, flight commander

CR90B Dodonna's Pride

Flotilla quantum Storm, RLBays, Flight Commander

flotilla Dodonna commander, Bright Hope

Norra

Nym

Dagger Squad

Gold Squad

Green squad

Rogue squad

Keyan Farlander

the idea is the pelta charges forward after shooting, Engine Techs, lets Nym, Norra and Dagger out, then the flotilla comes up and lets Gold squadron and Keyan follow up Dodonna lets me pick face up cards and bomber does extra damage. Green and Rogue can pile in if needed or intercept enemy fighters.

Yavaris makes 3 squads attack again when it needs to. Tallon keeps someone ready. I should be able to crippled 2 big ships, slaughter 1 big ship or a small and medium ship.

my other list

392/400 Precision Strike, Fighter Ambush, Minefields

Defiance MC80 flight commander,RLBays,RBdoors, Leading Shots,EArm

Yavaris flight commander, engine techs, DTT

flotilla flight commander, RLBays, Quantum Storm, bomber command Center

flotilla comms net, bright hope, general dodonna

Nym

Norra

Gold squadron

green squadron

keyan Farlander

rogue squadron

one less activation, perhaps a little more potent with bomber rerolls but not as strong against other squadrons

the Defiance ship adds a secondary threat and may last longer than the little ships

With no intel your launched fighters could find themselves locked down by 3 X-wings or some moderate Tie-F + Tie-A combat air patrols on the important close range turns. Then your relatively flimsy ships will be hit hard and it could be 2-3 turns before your bombers get to attack a ship.

I could drop gold squadron for a hwk

i kind of prefer the unique character squads for their own tokens and they hit a bit harder

im trying to find the right load out of who should fly with whom

do you think the list has some merit? Is the pelta fast enough, or should I just load up the liberty?

You should have intel in a bomber list.

Rogue squad does not belong.

Use Keyans points for something else.
