Seems like Sloane is nowhere to be found these days...same with pure msu... So just tooling around in the builder I came up with this... The plan would be token up demo and suppressor squad turn one... Raiders setup so targets are at long or walk into long on two... On two alpha with squads from demo and suppressor and slice...the hopefully target is at long of one or both raiders and hie goes off to weaken shields... On two/three hold target there with ecm goz.. On three strip tokens with Sloane squads... Little more damage from raiders...then demo in last... Target Should be dead if everything went ok... Of course it never works out on table like it does in my head so we'll see I guess...

Anyone have experience with similar list? Cheers!

What happens when they kill your ships as they are puny and you have low activations?

Is four activations low??? I'm seeing lots of smaller fleets these days... But yeah MMJ bombing run can take out a raider np... Hopefully fighters can block long enough so raider can shoot

Here is a 5 activation Sloane with way more survivability. You may see lists with 2 ships, but they have pryce or bail who can abuse the smaller number of ships, but still gain the benefits of having more ships, or a low bid. Strategic Adviser is not a good card in my opinion, because it so good at adding activations. I have found Pryce to be better, but I still think SA is an auto include in most lists, especially in double large ships.

I’m going to rest my case that’s the ISD-2... but this is still a decent list. 😉

Oh I'm not brave enough for politics.. I don't run this list at all, but I wanted to have a list with a raider so I didn't change the OPs original list TOO much. I am also a huge fan of the ISD with Sloane
