Possible strong Leia list for tournies?

By Deadshane, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

Leia Squads (400/400)
====================
MC80 Star Cruiser (96 + 64)
+ Leia Organa (38)
+ Lando Calrissian (4)
+ Gunnery Team (7)
+ SW-7 Ion Batteries (5)
+ Dual Turbolaser Turrets (5)
+ XX-9 Turbolasers (5)
GR-75 Medium Transports (18 + 17)
+ Toryn Farr (7)
+ Bomber Command Center (8)
+ Bright Hope (2)
GR-75 Combat Retrofits (24)
GR-75 Combat Retrofits (24)
GR-75 Combat Retrofits (24)
Norra Wexley (17)
"Dutch" Vander (16)
10 x Y-wing Squadron (10)

Push and support squadrons with GR-75's. T2's can take a beating while gaining air superiority thru numbers/Toryn/GR-CR flak. Most dangerous Ace shut down by Dutch.

MC-80 does the Obvious.

Leia nav team

Add a couple of hwks. They are non heavy and have counter.

It is vulnerable to being locked down by fighters. An enemy with 80+ points of squadrons could tie you up easily for 2-3 crucial turns and then you only have one ship to do damage with. Lots of X-wings with bigs, Jan and Norra would be better and self escorting. The braces from Jan and Bigs moving hits around make them probably more resilient than the 6 Hull Y wings and Intel lets you ignore being tied up and switch to bombing.

@Ginkapo, better?

This list have enough flak do you think? or I guess the hawks render opposing fighters irrelevant....

Maybe get a YT1300 or two in there to escort the HWKs?

After a consultation with Ginkapo on Vassal this morning....final list...

Objectives may change. Derlin was sort of a luxury. Weapons liason has interesting compatability with Leia as tokens are useful again. Spam maneuver orders till needed then either open up with full firepower or make up for a lost GR at a key moment.

Points saved upgrade to a gold squadron and a smallish bid for a little safety vs maxed lists.

Not bad, moreover if you can add a couple of Escorts.

Personally, I prefer to put Toryn and BCC on 2 different flotillas, so you split the "threat", and as both have a different range.

Agree. Bright Hope with toryn is a lot closer to action, you can keep bcc further away in the backline.
