Thoughts for a Leia Fleet

By BrobaFett, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

So I was looking at tournament Rebel fleets, and was thinking of how I might build a fleet that has an all comers balanced feel, but also has enough threat that it can get a big win when things go good.

It is the first variant, so I figured I would put one of my own ideas out there and get some crowd input. Let me know thoughts!

The Alliance to Restore the Republic

- Lando Calrissian ( 4 points)
- Ordnance Experts ( 4 points)
- Advanced Projectors ( 6 points)

[ flagship ] CR90 Corvette A (44 points)

I'd get rid of Toryn and replace with Adar...5 rerolls on those squads with Toryn but with Adar you can get a double actv. With Dutch or an extra 6 with Wedge + Hera will make get them rouge for the squadron phase.

And then grab a HWK for the intel, maybe replace one of the A-Wings for the points.

I think that is solid advice. Toryn was only partially there for the squads, as being able to fish for an Accuracy on the torpedo frigate and hammerheads on their blue dice was really what I was looking at. A reroll on a blue dice really can't hurt you, as there is no blank, so if I roll a hit I can freely reroll with no risk. If I get the acc then I'm a happy camper.

But I know my squad compliment is razor thin, so potentially Adar would create a bit more threat there, as it would allow me to activate dutch early to shut one off, throw in wedge to deal big damage, and then activate dutch again in squad phase as a rogue to deal extra damage.

The hwk for the awing is a solid suggestion as well trading the counter for intel at +1 point might be worth it. They were mainly there as speed 5 fodder to die down bombers on the turn the hammerheads make their run. I think I will make that sub! Still on the fence about Adar, have to fidget with it a bit I think.

Does Leia really want an MC30 though? Like, its a great ship, and I certainly love it, but I think you can find several other commanders who use it better (Dodonna, Mothma, maybe Cracken). It doesn't really want squadrons (slash you can get similar effects from the Hammerheads) and conc fire while good isn't really needed with Ordnance Experts. It loves navigating, but it already has 3 engineering. You can buff that into an effective 5, but it doesn't go super crazy with that all.

Mind you, I don't know what you would replace it with, but I'm not sure Leia wants a Mon Cal ship of any kind.

As for the other parts of the list, thoughts on switching Engine Techs out for Nav Team, which will let you do pretty similar things for cheaper? And maybe switching the Garel's Honor for 2 task force titles on the 2 hammerheads to make them work better together? I would think with Leia's ability, too, if you conc fire on the turn you're gonna be in range, you can add a black and reroll one of the blacks you just threw, too, so you wouldn't really need the OE on the HH. Just my 2 cents.

All I can think is to add Task Force Organa to the second hammerhead and dropping OE from Garels.
