GR's are fighter support/mini linebackers. Sato can advance behind while Salvation attempts a wide left/right hook staying out of the primary melee.

If the fighters are tied up then Sato is useless. They have the firepower to fight free but it may take 2 crucial turns to do so against strong squadron opposition. Since Toryn gives a reroll anyway I would change Dash into Tycho who cannot be pinned and will easily get your big ships the Sato bonus. It also gives you 8 points to play with so start with a Comms net to hand out Squadron tokens to the big ships so when they activate they can move Tycho or anyone else into range 1 of their chosen target. Then look at changing either Wide area Barrage or External racks into APTs or ACMs.

Sato long range ATPs are so deadly, if you have an Ordnance Cruiser and Sato I think it's criminal not to take ATPs. And Tycho is also a must take, though Han's grit will also be pretty valuable here.

I do think it would be good to squeeze in another combat ship. You really aren't getting a lot out of Sato with this fleet. What about dropping rogue squadron (which can't keep up with everyone else anyways) and the combat retrofit for a hammerhead with ATPs? Plus the 8 points from dropping Dash to Tycho you can get ordnance experts on it also.

Generally I would agree. Then @BrobaFett wrecked my gozanti for free with a WAB attack on the Quasar the goz was supporting. While I probably should have flown a little further apart, it was still pretty cool.

Two things I seem to not be able to beat recently: Sato MC75s and Raddus MC75s… maybe I should just fly them myself…

i have been loving the sato ATPs recently.

Also when are you gonna be done teaching?

Honestly I can’t remember. It was medium or close. Probably close range.

Finished teaching at the end of May! Then I’ll snag a sitter for some Monday league!

So dang jealous of you guys being able to make mondays. What I need is a Saturday where a couple of us arent busy and can buy a couple growlers and just play 2 or 3 games swapping opponents.

Maybe in Mithrandirs game garage?!

And it was close range, and a sato mc75 can reliably hit 7 black dice and get that 4 dmg wab that really causes problems. Bye jan. Bye Shara. By any tie, interceptor, phantom, jumpmaster etc etc. The ability to 1 shot a priority target is valuable even if it keeps those peices away from the combat zone.

Apologies @Deadshane for hijacking your post. We will be done now.

Not necessarily. The rogues are fast enough to dictate the battlezone, a squad furball in front of a large ship is useful...
