Hello! I'm new to the forum (though apparently I signed up a couple of years ago) and relatively new to Armada. I played at the Patriot Games Store Championship in Sheffield last weekend with the following list:
Commander: Admiral Ackbar
Objectives: Advanced Gunnery, Intel Sweep, Fire Lanes
[flagship] MC80 Assault Cruiser (114)
- Admiral Ackbar (38)
- Defiance (5)
- Electronic Counter Measures (7)
- Leading Shots (4)
- Strategic Adviser (4)
- XI7 Turbolasers (6)
= 178 total points
CR90 Corvette A (44)
- Jaina's Light (2)
- Turbolaser Reroute Circuits (7)
= 53 total points
MC75 Ordnance Cruiser (100)
- Chart Officer (2)
- Rapid Reload (8)
- Assault Concussion Missiles (7)
- Caitken and Shollan (6)
= 123 total points
Squadrons (45/134):
2x X-Wing Squadron (26)
1x Moldy Crow - Jan Ors (19)
I came away with a 8-3 loss and a 7-4 win. The fleet suffered a bit from lack of maneuverability against 3 ISDs in the first game and perhaps a lack of squadron cover against a squadron heavy list in the second.
I've made some changes since then after a little advice on the day (thanks Andrew) and a new card (thanks Gideon):
Commander: Admiral Ackbar
Objectives: Fire Lanes, Advanced Gunnery, Intel Sweep
[flagship] MC80 Command Cruiser (106)
- Admiral Ackbar (38)
- Defiance (5)
- Electronic Counter Measures (7)
- Leading Shots (4)
- Strategic Adviser (4)
- Engine Techs (8)
- XI7 Turbolasers (6)
= 178 total points
CR90 Corvette A (44)
- Jaina's Light (2)
- Turbolaser Reroute Circuits (7)
= 53 total points
MC75 Ordnance Cruiser (100)
- Assault Concussion Missiles (7)
- Ordnance Experts (4)
= 111 total points
Squadrons (58/134):
1x Moldy Crow - Jan Ors (19)
3x X-Wing Squadron (39)
One of the major issues for the fleet is that it's only got 3 activations. I sort of cheat with the Strategic Adviser, but it would be nice to get a Comms Net GR75 in there to add an extra activation and some fleet support. Currently I can't work out what to axe in order to achieve this, without replacing one of my large ships or reducing my squadron cover (I only have 1 each of the Rebel Fighter Squadrons I and Rogues and Villains and no Corellian Conflict). Any suggestions?
