So my friend and I go to try and marathon our way through the Corelian campaign. Naturally we'll be playing the two player variant and I'll be playing rebels. I'm thinking of using Akbar and Leia as my admirals as it feels very thematic and fun to play.
First is Leia:
Points: 400/400
Commander: Leia Organa
Assault Objective: Blockade Run
Defense Objective: Capture the VIP
Navigation Objective: Solar Corona
MC30c Torpedo Frigate (63 points)
- Admonition ( 8 points)
= 71 total ship cost
[ flagship ] Assault Frigate Mark II B (72 points)
- Leia Organa ( 38 points)
- Boosted Comms ( 4 points)
= 114 total ship cost
Hammerhead Torpedo Corvette (36 points)
- Task Force Antilles ( 3 points)
= 39 total ship cost
Hammerhead Torpedo Corvette (36 points)
- Task Force Antilles ( 3 points)
= 39 total ship cost
Hammerhead Torpedo Corvette (36 points)
- Task Force Antilles ( 3 points)
= 39 total ship cost
1 Biggs Darklighter ( 19 points)
1 Luke Skywalker ( 20 points)
2 X-Wing Squadrons ( 26 points)
1 Rogue Squadron ( 14 points)
1 Wedge Antilles ( 19 points)
My thought with this fleet is that Leia's ability gets the most bang for your buck by have more activation. So i tried to focus on using a lot of small ships with low command so I can get the most out of her orders. My next acquisitions of the fleet would probably include a few more x wings, Jan and maybe another hammerhead/ cr90 if I get the points.
Akbar:
Points: 399/400
Commander: Admiral Ackbar
Assault Objective: Close-Range Intel Scan
Defense Objective: Fire Lanes
Navigation Objective: Intel Sweep
Assault Frigate Mark II B (72 points)
- Quad Turbolaser Cannons ( 10 points)
= 82 total ship cost
[ flagship ] MC80 Assault Cruiser (114 points)
- Admiral Ackbar ( 38 points)
- Home One ( 7 points)
= 159 total ship cost
MC30c Scout Frigate (69 points)
- Foresight ( 8 points)
= 77 total ship cost
CR90 Corvette A (44 points)
- Jainas Light ( 2 points)
= 46 total ship cost
5 Z-95 Headhunter Squadrons ( 35 points)
So Akbar is pretty cut and dry, shoot them with the side arcs. I chose home one for both theme and to help my other ships get a few accuracies (and maybe point if they are foolish enough to pick Intel Scan). Obviously it is really light on squadrons so I would focus on expanding that with any points I would get (Blout being first among them).
I'd appreciate any thoughts or comments! Thanks!
