B-Wing Swarm

By schmidty1701, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

AFIIB-Dodanna, Flight Cont., Adv. Proj.

AFIIB-same as above w/o Dodanna

GR-75 med-Bright Hope, Toryn Farr, Bomber Command

GR-75 med- Quantum, Repair Crews

GR-75 med- Repair Crews

Keyan Farlander

Ten Numb

Dagger Squadron

B-Wing x5

I'm not interested in changing the squadrons, as I can work them pretty well (although I will accept suggestions). What I need critique on is my ship selection. Also, I have Dodanna because I wanted the least amount of points for my commander.

The AFIIB is a great Rebel carrier. They'll need to be in the thick of it without boosted comms. You could probably drop the 2nd AFIIB and add Expanded Hangers to one of your GR75s, same 3 squads (+1 with a token FOR 4!!), and yeah you lose FC *but* you'll want some of your fighters to be bombing anyway. Use those free'd up points for a MC30, or Neb-B Escort with Yavaris and Flight Coordinators - will give two of B-Wings slightly more threat range, and a lot more power.

Curious (not critiquing, I'm a noob) - why not Yavaris in there? Make one AFIIB Gallant Heaven?

I did have Yavaris at one point, but I flew my B-wings very aggressively that I couldn't use Yavaris's ability.

Ahh makes sense. How do you find them vs Sloane swarms these days?

Actaully, I only recently made this fleet. I haven't faced Sloane yet.

Well, I just got done playing a this fleet and... I beat my friend so bad that he said he's done with Armada. In the past few months I've been reclaiming my honor against all of my defeats. Well, every time I won it was a devastating defeat for him. It is just now gotten to the point where he has had enough. I'm dissapointed.

Yavaris in this fleet would be nearly useless due to the sheer firepower of this fleet, it doesn't need any more. These B-wings alone could eat a star destroyer in one turn. Yavaris would only be useful for Ten Numb to eat up enemy squads.

Drop repair crews from the third GR-75 and put comms net on it. Trust, me 1 repair crews is enough.

I would drop the 2nd AFB for a Pelta command ship w/AFFM, Fighter coordination team, flight commander, and boosted comms. You then have 11 points left from the AFB, I'd recommend putting Lando/Derlin on the Flagship AFB and QBTs.

I'm curious about deployment? Conga line style to take advantage of the side arcs?

Yes. I had the GR-75s on the side of my AFIIs that was facing away from the enemy.

no intel?

No Adar Tallon?

No Fighter Coordination Teams or Flight Commander?

Nope.

Suggetions.

Add intel

Add adar tallon

Add a Fighter Coord platform with Flight Commander.

Drop the Gr75s that you arent using to activate squads.

The GR-75s are for activation advantage, and yes, I am already revising force to have intel. As for Adar Tallon, to expensive for my purposes. I also don't need fighter coordination with flight commander. The way I'm flying the fleet means they are relatively useless.

What critique would you appreciate?

You've pointed out that 'the way you play it' several times. We've no idea what that means. How are we supposed to say anything meaningful?

imo your Assault Frigates just don't have enough hitting power, you have no way of modifying your dice and if you double arc thats 6 dice. If a smart player avoids the B-wings then you ain't killing much.

Interesting idea, not optimal (Norra will rock with them), but anyway cool.

I personally would replace an AF2 with a Pelta with All Fighters Follow Me! there to give a lil bit more speed to the B's, it really worth it.

I second that.
