Greetings!

A friend of mine recently convinced me to give Armada a try, and after a single introductory game with the core set I was pretty much hooked. I'm usually playing X-Wing, but Armadas take on Star Wars tabletop has me very intrigued.

So currently I'm ogling a Gladiator, Interdictor (personal favourite since Thrawn Trilogy) and the ever classic ISD of course to set up a task force that is fun to play as well as looking great on the shelf. Right now, though, I guess I have no truly firm grasp on the game and no idea what to look out for.

Could you guys give me some tips to set up this fleet for a casual imperial civil war? What to look out for, what to avoid?

Really happy to meet you people, looking forward to your suggestions!

Hey man, welcome to the big leagues!

There's actually a thread going on this topic on the main forum right now--recommend you take a look through some of the resources posted over there to get some ideas. There has been a lot of good content produced on this topic, and much of it is linked over there.

Take an ISD2 (more general than the more specialised ISD1) with gunnery teams and ECM. After that maybe XI7 lasers, leading shots and maybe Relentless/Avenger title as optional extras. 134-149 points.

Interdictor supression with Grav Shift, Target scrambler and the Interdictor title. Extras include projection experts or Disposable Capacitors. 100-109 points.

GSD1 with Demolisher, APTs (or ACMs) and Ordnance experts. 75-77 points.

Total 309-375. You then need a commander like Motti or Jerjerrod but they are in different packs so Screed or Konstantine as you can't really fit the expensive Tarkin in. A reasonable fighter force of the starter 4-6 TIE-F with Howlrunner if you want to max them.

Then just play a few games and learn from there.
