Hi all

Played only 4 times with those list so far (3 win 1 loose) on Polish nationals.\ (was 6)

In theory those list should banish Riekan list from table. I didnt meet one yet. As I will have to to make some breake from wargaming (at least to end of march) i post those list here. May be smeone will playtest it.

enjoy

What is your plan for dealing with Aceholes with this list? From my perspective it looks like you are planning a last/first alpha strike, and that’s the whole point- the fleet is darn near un-alpha-strikeable

I mean... I guess??? Any savvy squads player will just set up a picket with the bombers... anything that tries to come in for an attack run will get bombed to kingdom come in the squadron phase...

That may work with a kiting fleet but this requires small ships to come into close range to do any damage

Bombers hitting in the squad phase are not using Yavaris. Last/firsting an Aceholes list is a reliable way to table them. Not just win, but table.

Ya, if you have something that can survive on the way in. That’s why Ard’s MC30 list is such a hard counter to it. 4 mc30’s backed by Mothma evades are a tough nut to crack and the bombers can rarely kill more than one before they get tabled.

I wouldn’t compare the durability of a raider to that of a Mothma-30
