Inspired by @Darth Sanguis 's list I decided to try it out in a game against my Rebel scum friend. I want to start by thanking Darth for his advice on maneuver and placement with this fleet. It really did help me get my bearings.
Sadly I don't have many pictures of the battle. We decided to have a bit to drink before (and during) the battle. So we lost track of our record-keeping responsibilities.
The list I flew was a direct "yoink" from Sanguis.
Objectives: Station Assault, Contested Outpost, Solar Corona
ISD II - (Screed, Avenger, Needa, Gunnery Team, ECM, TRC, SW 7)
ISD II - (Chart Officer, Gunnery Team, ECM, XI-7, Overload Pulse)
Gozanti Cruiser - (Repair Crews)
Gozanti Cruiser - (Repair Crews)
My opponent flew a Madine/MC80L list:
MC80 Battle Cruiser - (Madine, Mon Karren, Lando, Gunnery Team, Engine Techs, XI7, Spinal Armament, Leading Shots)
CR90 - (Jaina's Light, Ahsoka Tano, Engine Techs, TRC)
CR90 - (Engine Techs, TRC)
GR-75 Transport - (Bright Hope, Slicer Tools)
Squadrons: 4x YT-2400
I had the bid and thought that maybe I should go 2nd so that I could get my objectives.
My opponent chose "Station Assault". This proved to be my undoing. That mission is difficult to win against fast, hard-hitting enemies.
However, my ships performed admirably!
Here is a picture from turn 3. My "overload pulse" ISD has leapt forward to block the enemy MC80 from firing and then running away.
I lost the ISD to concentrated ship/squadron fire and ramming. Not before it was able to use the overload pulse to exhaust all of the MC80s defense tokens. I then destroyed both the MC80 and the slicer flotilla in a single turn with Avenger. BOOM!I think the list is solid - I just had a bad objective.
By the end of the game here was the score:
- Rebel losses: MC80 (179), Flotilla (27) - TOTAL: 206
- Imperial losses: ISD II (150), Flotilla (27), 2x Stations (80) - TOTAL: 257
I ended up ahead on ship kills - but the two corvettes drove around back and killed the stations.
Great game!
