Just a theoretical build built to harness Sloane, the Quasar's alpha strike, and have two impeccably heavy hitters on the table all at the same time based on mine and @Darth Lupine's conversation post game. Not sure how good it would be, though.

And what do you do when you have to choose to hit ties or that ABT looking at your liberty treacherously.

Gunnery Teams. Rarely see a Liberty without it.

Destraa just had generic squadrons, so the ability didn't come into play. However....after BTing his ISD my squadrons started shooting it.....according to Destraa, this was the most annoying thing ever, yep. 'Ditch the brace. Oops, dtch that redirect. Ohhhhhh, he's dead....'

Was activating squadrons to get Sloanes effect on the ISD that you boarded neccessary? I mean you had Avenger anyway right? Or was it more that you were trying to deplete some shields?

JJ is by and large the best BT avenger commander, failing that, no bid? BT is a real snooze when everyone flies away before you trigger.

His shields were down already; he was flying Motti, so I was just piling on the damage. Seeing his tokens were spent, the opportunity to just remove them for round two was also too good to pass up.

He also didn't have a BCC to reroll those defenders. So why waste the accuracy?

Ah based off what you said where you deleted the brace and redirect and then the ISD itself made it seem Sloane was responsible for its destruction rather than Boarders and Avenger.

All good, i see what you were trying to do now since it was a motti isd and you probably didnt have double arc.

I was more implying that it may have been more efficient to get the squadrons to target something else considering you were not going to be able to use your defense tokens anyway. Not the accuracy rolls themselves.

glad you guys had some fun with playing and vsing Sloane!

Having fun running this list:

400 points exactly, with Opening Salvo + Fighter Ambush + Minefields as objective cards

Vic II - Sloane, Tactical expert, gunnery team, disposble capacitors, sw-7 in batteries, QBT, warlord

Quasar I - wulff Yularen, flight controllers, EHB, Boosted Comms

Aruiten light Cruiser - Titus, DTT, Centicore

4 x TIE/LN

Howlrunner

Black Sqn

2 x Lambda

Gamma Sqn

Dengar

Why Gamma?

to make sure I was on the full 400... no other reason. Although people see a bomber that has grit and go 'must kill' instead of going for howlrunner or dengar

I did have it double arc....I just did not roll very well. On the BT activation I think I put six or seven damage on it, so I was ensuring the brace was not there next turn. I then blocked it with my Quasar, a risk to be sure, but it worked, and without the brace it was finished next turn.

And in return I failed to land significant damage thanks to the no crit effects critical. ?

Indeed, that was helpful...lol

I think that was honestly the deciding factor in that engagement, since with the double arc I would have landed two faceup cards that round otherwise.

That would have depended on what cards.....lol

Only one I can't immediately think of that wouldn't help is the one removing a flak die.
