Hey guys.

I just did a store championship over the weekend with the goal of hunting flotillas and other small ships in mind.

I was partly inspired by a fleet list i saw here on the forums where someone had a MC80 Liberty type with 6 other flotillas!

Heres a summary of how that went!

Thanks for chatting through your build strategy and how it did (and didn't) pay off at the tournament.

Best Armada channel on Youtube!

I said I was going to use a similar list (initially 6 flots and a tooled up Lib, dialled it down to 5 flots, the Lib and some Awings) in the "nerf flotillas" thread. Had a similar experience to yourself - activation advantage isn't all that, doubly so with flotillas when they don't really kill much! I reckon 5 activations with the Lib and a couple of smaller fighting ships is the way ahead.

Yeah im pretty sure it was your list that i took that idea from!

I think activation advantage is still a big thing but you still need a few quality activations. I guess its because my flotillas werent activating squadrons to add value.

My last two games didnt give me anything to slice either.

Yeah, that is a serious shitter with slicers when you mostly encounter lil' one dial ships - this happened to me a lot at the Euros!
