For a local tourney, and according to the increasing BTAvengers' fleets in my area, I plan to play the following jackass list:

Cracken's Leeroys
Author: Ritalbringer

Faction: Rebel Alliance
Points: 398/400

Commander: General Cracken

Assault Objective: Most Wanted
Defense Objective: Planetary Ion Cannon
Navigation Objective: Dangerous Territory

[ flagship ] Modified Pelta-class Assault Ship (56 points)
- General Cracken ( 26 points)
- Shields to Maximum! ( 6 points)
= 88 total ship cost

Hammerhead Torpedo Corvette (36 points)
- Task Force Antilles ( 3 points)
- External Racks ( 3 points)
= 42 total ship cost

2 YT-2400s ( 32 points)
1 Han Solo ( 26 points)

I am hesitating with:

- Squadrons 4 teh weak: remove the YTs and Solo to add a 7th HH TFA.

- Gimmeh more shields: remove Solo, put another YT2400 and feat Projection experts on the Pelta for more shield regen.

Thanks for your C&Cs, Admirals!

Interesting that the flagship can’t get Crackens bonus. That’s a gamble

I think you could add that eighth ship and keep a YT-2400, if my math is right. That might be an option.

You're gonna want to fly this extremely aggressive. The Pelta is a very weak point, so keep it very defensive while clogging the alien death cannons with the corpses of your Hammerheads.

If it were me, I'd be running this with Mothma instead for a little extra squadron defense, but I get your reasoning for Cracken, and he's definitely not a bad choice.

I wonder if Riekken might be better for ensuring those ERs go off.

I forgot to mention that I wanted to try Cracken once, so I thought this fleet was the right opportunity for that.

Do you think this bunch of YTs can be effective?

Squadron wise Id might be tempted to go with Shara and Tycho. The remaining points could go into ordenance experts making your er shots meaningfull, and your flak will have ~96% chance for a damage.

You're absolutely right. The thing is that I ALWAYS play them, or at least Shara, and I wanted to try something else, at least once
