AKBAR GOES TO EU CHAMPIONSHIP

By LordPQ, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

Hi Guys!

My friend is going to EU CHAMPIONSHIP in Birmingham and wanted to have some feedback on his list. He doesn't want to change everything but could upgrade a little bit. Specialy squadron's wise.

Name: NORSSI ACKBAR V1
Faction: Rebel
Commander: Admiral Ackbar

Assault: Station Assault
Defense: Contested Outpost
Navigation: Dangerous Territory

MC80 Command Cruiser (106)
• Admiral Ackbar (38)
• Strategic Adviser (4)
• Engine Techs (8)
• Leading Shots (4)
• Quad Battery Turrets (5)
• Mon Calamari Exodus Fleet (5)
= 170 Points

MC75 Ordnance Cruiser (100)
• Caitken and Shollan (6)
• Assault Concussion Missiles (7)
• External Racks (3)
• Mon Calamari Exodus Fleet (5)
= 121 Points

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

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

Squadrons:
• Shara Bey (17)
• Jan Ors (19)
• Tycho Celchu (16)
• A-wing Squadron (11)
= 63 Points

Total Points: 394

Thanx for the tips!

Better of going with just Tycho and Shara, the others wont help, they'll just die. This lets you get an Assault Cruiser with both early warning system AND electronic countermeasures as you cannot afford for the big ships to go down. You could also get Lando and Electronic countermeasures for the ordnance cruiser to make that a lot tougher at the same time!

Blount also has a scatter at 13pts if you wanted a third squad.

Not to bring politics into it, but (bringing politics into it, sorry) the Euros have nothing to do with the EU.

As for the list, looks nasty. Not convinced on 10pts for the Exodus Fleet upgrades. Maybe Aspiration would be useful?

If they are going to be flying Ackbar don't you want to be shooting out of those side arcs as often as possible? Gunnery teams rather than the titles perhaps?

Well, only the 75 can have GT and it has C&S instead to make the shot it has more reliable...

What he said, i might go EWS over ECM on the 75 but that is a trivky choice. Your other option is bail on the 75.

I wouldnt add Bail to a list a week in advance with minimal practice....

It's a fair point it depends on if he's played with bail but he does give an extra threat.

I've played around with Mon Cal Exodus fleet and trying to make a super-resilient pair of large ships.

I recommend giving one of the Comms Net Transports Leia, then in the later turns your can spam Repair commands on both your large ships, and which ever one they don't target you then use Leia's dial manipulation to switch out into Squadron commands or whatever's good.

defiance and aspiration can sub out the mon cal exodus fleets, and you'll save two points.

Hi guys,

Thanx for all the advices. We are considering droping one com net and the MC exodus then change Assault Concussion Missiles for APT and add two Electronic countermeasures.

what do you think?

ECM or EWS both sound like a better options for toughening up your big ships.
