Raddus Pincer

By samusthe17, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

Here's my first draft for a Raddus fleet that uses the two big MC ships:

Name: Hammer and Anvil
Faction: Rebel
Commander: Admiral Raddus

Assault: Advanced Gunnery
Defense: Contested Outpost
Navigation: Solar Corona

MC80 Star Cruiser (96)
• Intel Officer (7)
• Caitken and Shollan (6)
• SW-7 Ion Batteries (5)
• Spinal Armament (9)
• XI7 Turbolasers (6)
• Mon Karren (8)
= 137 Points

GR-75 Medium Transports (18)
• Slicer Tools (7)
• Quantum Storm (1)
= 26 Points

GR-75 Medium Transports (18)
• Repair Crews (4)
= 22 Points

MC80 Assault Cruiser (114)
• Admiral Raddus (26)
• Strategic Adviser (4)
• Electronic Countermeasures (7)
• Leading Shots (4)
• XI7 Turbolasers (6)
= 161 Points

GR-75 Medium Transports (18)
• Comms Net (2)
= 20 Points

Squadrons:
• Shara Bey (17)
• Tycho Celchu (16)
= 33 Points

Total Points: 399

The goal is to plan on going second, with Raddus flying at their VIP ship. The two support flotillas are there to keep Raddus alive and happy (as well as activations) while Quantum Storm sets up the Star Cruiser's entry.

SW-7 ions guarantee 4 damage from the blue dice, and allow Caitken and Shollan to always pick the inevitable red blanks to reroll.

My biggest concern is 134 pt squadron fleets, but I'm hoping the MC 80s can punch through their carriers quick enough to cripple them.

Mothma MC 30s worry me as well.

Thoughts?

Mon Karren and XI7 together seem like overkill, especially with Intel Officer. Dropping Mon Karren let’s you fit EWS on the flagship.

That makes sense.

Yeah as Dave said io, mk is overkill if you dont put 2 defense retrofit, downgrade to command cruiser and maybe upgrade liberty for more antisquad.

I'll probably take the advice and add in EWS; it'll alleviate my squadron fears a bit more
