Trying to scramble a fleet in time for Easter...

By ImperialCaptain2017, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

I've been out of my local Armada scene for a while b/c I've been painting and playing historical games instead, but I'm going to be jumping back in for a new player tournament on Holy Saturday (i.e. the day before Easter). What do you think of this fleet?

For squads i tend to like 2 TIE Advanced, 1 JumpMaster 5000, Mauler Mithel and Soontir Fel. The escorts force Soontirs ability and JumpMaster allows you to trigger Maulers ability every turn.

If you have the Corellian Conflict, then Solar Corona would be better for you than Superior Positions. Otherwise, I would consider Dangerous Territory — not so much for the victory points, but more for the ability to ignore the obstacles while moving your very mobile ISD.

That looks like a good list. The squadrons look capable of defending against smaller forces of fighters. You could upgrade one to a saber squadron

If you're having Needa as an officer, you should consider Turbolaser reroute circuits.

I wouldn't take Superior Positions, just in case someone comes along with too many B-wings for you.

These sound like good suggestions. Thanks guys!
