Old and new

By Sybreed, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

Quick rundown, I wanted to play Rebel aces/bomber list with capable fighting ships and came up with this. Tried it yesterday, it was actually pretty decent and I tabled my opponent for a 9-2 win.

I don't understand why people don't play Dutch anymore? He is seriously awesome.

Being 2nd player meant the IMP player could alpha strike my squadrons pretty heavily... but that made Wedge and Dutch much bigger menaces, especially with Yavaris activating them. Darth Vader killed Luke on turn 3, but overall I'm very satisfied with how things went. Garel's Honor is, as everyone knows, awesome. I procc'ed Dodonna on 4 or 5 occasions I believe. 3 of which were on the enemy ISD.

Looks good! Just remember to keep Luke near the BCC cause he blanks out a lot.

Also, I love Garel's Honor, but right at this moment if you are taking this game to a tournament, I think Lando on the MC80 is a must. He is the only insurance you habe against that shiny MC80 getting one shotted my an ISD Avenger with Boarding Troopers.

ECM does nothing to stop that, and as someone who has gotten an mc80 one shotted in such a way, I figured I should mention it.

Luke never had a chance to shoot.... he got alpha'ed by Marek Steele twice and Darth Vader once.....being 2nd player was kind of a curse here.

As for Lando, yeah, that's expecting every imp players to use Avenger/BT, but my opponent didn't as he got tired of the cheese.

Yeah thats why i said tournament. I dont use Avenger much in casual matches any more (which is sad cause ive been using that title forever) because of trooper shenanigans.

Bit if you show up to a tournament you better bet goos money you will see one.
