Dodonna Haven

By Tiberius the Killer, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

I really want to try some E-wings with Gallant Haven, and this is what I came up with. Not sure if I should bother with DTT, maybe just drop it for a bid? Also I wonder if I should drop Gold Squadron for another X-wing squadron. I also have thought about trying to make points for Mon Mothma instead of Dodonna. Probably would drop the DTT and demote Luke to a generic x-wing. Thoughts?

Nice looking fleet. Got me thinking hard about how I would react if i ran into it.

E Wings are great. I'd recommend dropping the generic X for another E. Reason being that 3 are more likely to be able to pile on and kill whatever you want in one activation (Dengar).

I agree with the X for an E. You've got two Gallant Havened Aces already, which is plenty for those times when you need escort. I think the real question is how you tweak the list from here. If you're going second, Admonition may be tricky until later in the game when you remove an activation, and a lot of what makes GH squadrons success is the first activation with Adar Tallon setting up a Yavaris double-tap. It pretty much ensures that you get it. Running Admonition instead of Yavaris per JJ's worlds list last November works because he had so many small activations that one would not ordinarily want to double-tap.

That is a very good idea, but then I have to buy another Rebel Squads 2 pack! (I would just borrow them, but I hate using unpainted squads). When I do finally end up getting it, I will do that. For now I'm hoping that with Flight Commanders and Toryn the two will still work well enough.

I do hesitate to replace the MC30 with Yavaris since then I don't really have a serious ship threat. Plus Adar Tallon would require giving up Flight Commander, which will make GH much tougher to use. And trying to keep squads close to GH and also in range of Yavaris will be difficult. But it would make my squads all the ridiculous, and Double tapping Luke is a wonderful and terrible thought. Once I get a game in with this list, I will certainly try that out.
