hammerhead!

By geek19, in Star Wars: Armada

Hondo and Ahsoka have some great synergy. Steal 2 tokens from your opponent and swap em for something else.

TF Organa will free up that weapons slot. And TF Antilles will be great for the Leia/STM distributed tank fleet I've been looking at.

Organa task force finally gives a viable target to MS1 Ion cannons. It will still be too niche to see real play, I think.

Oh my gosh I love Hondo, hahaha.

No Engine Techs and a weak speed three nav chart makes this imperial breathe a heavy sigh of relief.

Wave 6 goes to the Imps. :)

No they are fine. I'd ******* hate to run against 6 32 point ships with 3 dice in the front, +2 for ER, +1 from CF, and a reroll from Leia, and 2 more rerolls from the title.

Nope. No think you. Go away.

But they have worse survivability than even CR90s, and unlike them have to close to close range to have a real hope of doing damage. While having no speed 4 and an incredibly stiff speed 3. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how they pan out.

It goes to the Imps until you get close to the Hammerhead, who then rockets to speed 3 and rams you, followed by a Cham top of next turn, haha

Chose and exhaust a copy of this card on another friendly ship.

Both of those are singular.

As in, "There is another Skywalker." :)

Yes, but that's triggered by "when you suffer damage from an attack." If that trigger happens multiple times--once for each time you take a damage--then you can transfer one damage each to multiple ships with multiple exhausts.

Haven't thought through if that's how that will trigger yet, though.

I think Hammerheads might actually make the fabled Sato APT viable since the lower cost lets you have activations and the squadrons necessary, and the el cheapo hammerhead with just OE and APT is what, 45 points?

You're just never going to hit anything with evade tokens. Also no need for OE I think, take the Organa Squadron title instead.

Hmm. So each card you place (or shield you reduce) counts as a separate instance of "suffering damage"?

Food for thought.

Could also go the TF Organa direction for the rerolls, conceivably.

So, RRG 4 DAMAGE: • When a ship suffers damage, it suffers that damage one
point at a time.

So, I think it will still only count as one instance of "taking damage," triggering Antilles only once... But I'm not sure.

Hammerhead torpedo with expanded hanger bays, and flight controllers gives you a pocket carrier for 47 points . Thrown in Leia and it can activate 3 squadrons. Not bad...don't know if it will work, but could be fun.

This article makes me want an ion cannon crit upgrade that reduces speed, **** it.

Tie swarm is gonna eat these guys alive....

Antilles will be reasonably effective squadron defense.

Next wave on the carrack light cruiser

Man, TF Organa's extreme reliance on activating in the correct order, coupled with the large number of these a Hammerhead fleet is likely to bring, means you could be looking at some serious anal paralysis with these fleets. :/

Each Hammerhead pack comes with 2 Hammerheads, and 1 copy of Task Force Antilles and 1 copy of Task Force Organa?

I don't like that math.......

We should start now really dude.

We may finish in 2017

you sure? I really hope they come with 2 copies of each. That would be so dumb otherwise...
