I dont know if this is the section of the forum, but if i have some battle reports that are done as a story narrative, is it okay to place them here or should i place them in another section of the forum?

Please forgive my noobness!

This would be the place for it, no need to apologize.

Thank you, sir.

Star Wars Armada Battle Stories will be coming soon.

Question: How do i get more space to upload pics and files?

Decided to introduce a friend to SWA.

With only a limited number of ships that i had, although i have the rest of the expansions coming, my friend just wanted to try a one ship vs one ship duel.

I said okay, lets try this.

With only 100 points for each fleet, here was the cast of characters.

Rebel:

CR90A Corvette: Mon Mothma, 2x X-Wing Squadrons

Imperial:

Victory-I Class Star Destroyer: Admiral Motti, Defense Liaison

We decided to not use any objectives or obstacles on the play-mat.

The rules for this short game was simple.

He would command the Victory-I and his mission was to destroy the CR90A.

I would command the corvette and if i could survive for 6 rounds, i would win.

In a nutshell, i used my two X-Wing Squadrons to keep his Star Destroyer busy and to bomb him from time to time causing shield damage and i was able to score a hit on his ship.

With my corvette moving all around the board at speed 4 and staying medium to long range, his Victory-I was not really able to get good shots at me.

Using evade and re-direct a lot, i survived for six rounds and won the game.

Yes, my ship took a couple of internal hits, but i was able to move around the board very fast and pretty much he only got into close range once.

My X-Wings were a big nuisance to him.

After we played, we took a trip to our closest gaming store and he picked up a Core Set.

I would say that we have another SWA player on board.

Interesting basic set up Would have been a lot more interesting if you played vs a Vic-1 and a mix of Tie's and bombers with no admiral (let's face it, motti for 2hp vs the mothma effect in this game was pretty useless), or gave him a Quad Turbolaser Turret upgrade instead of def liason. No way a Vic is gonna kill a cr90 solo with nothing to help herd you into it's arcs.

But either way! Good to hear he liked the game and started playing!

Also looking forward to future BatReps from you. I personally love the narrative style when recounting games.

we wanted to play again this weekend, but hurricane Irma has other plans i think for south florida. please wish us well.

well good luck and keep playing Armada.

We did manage to get a game in.

The story was:

while approaching the planet Nubia in the Corellian system, two CR90B Corvettes are surprised by a Victory-II Star Destroyer.

Instead of retreating into hyperspace, the Rebel ships decide to do battle against a superior enemy.

Cast of Characters:

(125 points)

Objective: Advanced Gunnery

Rebel Forces: (1st Player)

CR90B Corvette , Mon Mothma, Nav Team.

CR90B Corvette

X-Wing Squadron

Empire Forces: (2nd Player)

Victory-II Star Destroyer, Admiral Screed, Weapons Liaison

My friend and i played this small skirmish twice and it came out the same way.

I first played the Empire and he moved both his corvettes into medium range of the VSD.

With Admiral Screed and with the Advanced Gunnery objective being used, i blew up Mon Mothma's ship in a one shot and he resigned the game pretty much after that.

In the second game, i played the Rebels this time.

I tried to keep my corvettes away from the VSD and i was actually able to get a few hits on it.

My X-Wing Squadron did poke a hole in the VSD's shields, but they really were not a factor in this small contest.

But he played the Victory-II very well, cause he learned the game fast.

He took out my objective ship, then proceeded to destroy the other CR90B.

I was able to get the game to Round 4 before i was toasted.

As we await the arrival of Hurricane Irma down here, we might try to get one more game together.

He still prefers to play low point contests until he feels more confident in playing standard games.

We are also awaiting my other expansions to arrive.

You working with 2 core sets worth of stuff?

At least 1 extra cr90 cause of mothma? I think if you posted what you had there are some people that could help you make a small point balanced engagement so the fights don't feel so one sided, one time the vic not getting any shots and the other the cr90s not getting any shots.

i have some expansions, assault frigates and gladiators, we are just waiting for some more stuff.

and he wanted to stay with some low point games.

i have no issue with it, but once we have everything, we will be going strong.

This is awesome. Would love to make maps for your stories like this:

i like the maps.

pretty cool.

i have a lot more stuff to tell.

hurricane Irma kind of wrecked us here in SOFLA for a while.
