Another Avenger (6 activations this time)

By ovinomanc3r, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

It started as a fleet based on objectives and develop to that. I had problems with the red objective so I choose to add a no-good-choice situation. That added BTAvenger which make the fleet interesting even if I go first. Objectives are nasty. Of course there are better ways to exploit fire lanes and sensor net but two lambdas help anyway I think.

6 activation; 10 deployment; 1 heavy hitter; a light screen with raider coverage; tokens generation; inbuilt source of points. The only thing I regret is the lack of a good second source of damage (as demo) but 2 raiders with external could hit hard.

1st at a little tournament.

My second opponent took 5 min to choose first or second thinking on what I was bringing. Chose first and regreted it! Lol.

I like it. I'm gonna have to give it a try but I'll swap Black Squadron for a generic. I find it very satisfying when that little 9pt b****** takes three shots to kill and deals out just as much damage as it took. Just wish it kept Swarm.

It could help to cover a lambda if necessary and to avoid choosing between first or second sometimes. :D

I won initiative with a 1 point bid in round three at a tournament yesterday. I'm so used to going second that I honestly think it hurt me a little.

Nice objective setup here, I like it. No good objective choice for anybody.

No FCT but not a big deal.

If you win initiative, choose to go second. I do that all the time with lists I'm more comfortable flying second. I have a Triple Vic + Glad fleet I love to be second with.

With 6 activations you can probably out-activate your opponent, though.

In my last game I was running plenty of black dice against my opponents mostly red. I opted for second, figuring I could alleviate the long range damage a little but once the range had closed I definitely regretted shooting second!
