Hello,

My brother has been playing as the rebels in armada for a while and has collected most of the "vital" expansions and would like to know where to go from there, he has the Liberty expansion, Home one expansion, and the mc30 expansion. including the rebel ships in the core set and the fighters. What other expansions should he get that would be viewed as "essential" for a rebel player. Is the nebulon or the cr90 valuable just for the cards? And is the ASFMKII worth it as a fleet/ filler ship?

Any replies would be welcomed, thank you.

honestly from there the gr75 transports are good buy, and you can build some stuff. An Asfmkii is also good with ackbar.

I find a second CR90 wouldn't go a miss. The MC75 is a great ship with some good upgrades as well as the Hammerhead pack. A second MC30 would not be a bad buy either.

The Nebulon has the Yavaris title, which is an essential rebel card (Salvation is also a good title) and you get an XI7 Turbolaser card (which is really good). But if it‘s just for the cards proxy them (should be no problem in any casual game) or look online, all cards except XI7 should be very cheap. You probably don‘t need more than one Nebulon ship.

A Rebel Transport is a good expansion for any fleet. After that decide what you like: Big ships? Then Profundity. Lots of small ships, then another CR90 and Hammerheads.

XI7 will be too, as it was a tournament participation throwaway. I know I have like, 30+ left over in my newbie giveaway kit.

MC75 is a must ship in the rebelion. If you like squadron heavy then Yavaris is a must, and Salvation if you dont go squadron heavy. So a Nebulan-B is a very good ship to get.

Hammerheads are fun to run I say.
