Much like @Admiral Calkins, I was inspired by a topic on the main forum to try to use the more expensive GRs in a list with Opening Salvo. I also wanted a "true" MSU list with less than 75 points of squads. Thoughts?

Love it, but don’t want to face it. If you put this on the table, would love to hear how the Combat Retrofits performed.

You know, this week has had the most discussion on the Combat Retrofits since... ever. Is it too early to start calling for a nerf?

Um. You have Lando on the Admo as well as a squadron. He is a unique, so you'd have to pick one only. I don't know about APT over Exracks for the hammers, the probabilities aren't that great, but you can try it out and see how it goes 🙂 maybe swap in hurra? She could double as bait. Also the other squadrons might want a ship to command them, or switch in rogues

You're right, no double Lando allowed. I was going to try to command the squads with the GR-75s, but I can just go with rogues instead and CF with the GR-75s. I picked APT because of Opening Salvo potential, but I feel like HA will get picked a lot. Which isn't the worst thing in the world for Admo. But yeah, the TFO reroll might not be enough. I added OE.

Thank you. And I really enjoyed the Harry Potter theme/analogy.

It was a truly beautiful fleet, unfairly ruined by the nerf

This fleet is crying out for Malee Hurra!!!

I feel like the torp HH build wastes too many points, just give them external racks, and either Task force organa or ordinance experts

it will make them cost(40/43)

if you ditch a named pilot, I think you can fit a 4th HH
