Round 1 began in a 2 player campaign with me fielding Rebels for the first time in probably a year. I was running Madine on a Star Cruiser with Engine Techs, 3 MC30 Torpedo Frigates with Ord Experts, Shara, and 4 A-Wings.
I was up against Thrawn on an ISD2 with DTT, a Cymoon with XI7, an Artiquens, Ciena, 2 Interceptors, and Dengar.
We played a fleet ambush.
Deployment. I placed the MC30 on the forward right before the ISD on the right was placed.
End of turn 1. The MC30 did not survive.
End of turn 2. As you can see, the Artiquens is about to be destroyed. The fighters are also mixing it up.
End of turn 3. I'm amazed at the maneuverability of Madine with nav dials.
End of turn 4. I'm winning the squadron fight, and putting damage on the Cymoon.
End of turn 5.
During turn 6 I was able to jump the MC30 out of the front arcs, but it still ended up destroyed. Oh well.
It was a fun start to the campaign even if I didn't win this fight. I hadn't played rebels in a long time- just wait until my Sato controlled RLB MC80 Command Cruiser with its B-Wing payload gets into the next battle!
