So I've been very lightly in this game since around the start of it, and recently I've been drawn back in by the news of Admiral Thrawn's arrival. All the while, I've been hearing about how annoying being out-activated is, so I thought to myself "How ridiculous of a list can I make with as many activations as possible?". So now I've got this:

Objectives: Opening Salvo, Planetary Ion Cannon, Minefields

Raider-II (Flagship): Grand Admiral Thrawn, Ordnance Experts, Disposable Capacitors, External Racks

Gozanti-Class Cruisers: Disposable Capacitors X10

Maarek Steele, Colonel Jendon, Saber Squadron

The idea being "Throw 23 blue dice at long range at something, pray it dies, and use objectives to increase the likelihood of that happening if they give me that option."

Will it work? probably not. Will it be hilarious the one time it invariably does? Absolutely. Finding 10 Gozantis, that's going to be the tricky part. Related: does this game have a vassal module?

I like the way you think. What do the squads do here...?

What do you do vs mass bombers?

The squads eat the bombers (I hope, I haven't seen what bombers actually look like since before Rhymer was nerfed). All I know is that all my imperial squad building starts with those three squads since my friend showed me the interaction.

I think vs mass bombers you just flak the christ out of them by virtue of having 12 freaking black dice to throw at them?

Was discussing a similar janky list with @Phil B after Sunday's tournament - would love to try it out but I suspect it wouldn't work as getting all 10 Gozos on target together will be tricky.

It might not look like it, but that is Cracken belly-laughing.
