Don't even know where to start and most lists i look up have expansions i either dont have or dont have enough of

Thanks!

Welcome to Armada!

Below is an example fleet and I hope that I’ve picked the right cards as it is sometimes difficult trying to correlate the ships to what cards you have.

Commander: Admiral Raddus

Assault: Most Wanted
Defense: Planetary Ion Cannon
Navigation: Solar Corona

MC80 Star Cruiser (96)
• Admiral Raddus (26)
• Gunnery Team (7)
• Engine Techs (8)
• Leading Shots (4)
• H9 Turbolasers (8)
• Spinal Armament (9)
• Endeavor (4)
= 162 Points

GR-75 Medium Transports (18)
• Expanded Hangar Bay (5)
= 23 Points

MC75 Ordnance Cruiser (100)
• Intel Officer (7)
• Caitken and Shollan (6)
• Electronic Countermeasures (7)
• Expanded Launchers (13)
• Assault Concussion Missiles (7)
= 140 Points

Squadrons:
• 4 x Y-wing Squadron (40)
• 2 x X-wing Squadron (26)
= 66 Points

Total Points: 391

I don’t own Home One (I do have Ackbar though) so I wouldn’t be the best person to advise you on that, so I have chosen a list that utilizes the other Admirals and other ships. Madine is best with your Liberty and probably MC30’s so I have opted for Raddus.

With this list, get your liberty pointing its front to the enemy and then next turn drop in the MC75 On a flank with a double arc. This is 3 red, 2 blue and a whopping 7 black! With Assault Concussion Missiles, this then can potentially give you an extra 4 damage to either shields or hull if no shields left if you roll a hit/crit on a black dice. Unfortunately you don’t have any Ordinance Experts as you need a MC30 for that (It also has TRC’s, APT’s and General Rieekan), so I put on Caitken and Shollin which exhausts after one reroll.

The GR75 commands your squadrons, unfortunately only one set of 3 at a time. I added the X Wings as one per pair of Y wings as an escort, but you could also ditch these and put in Tycho and another A Wing as a temp roadblock for opposing Squadrons, but they won’t last long.

I picked easy objectives so you don’t have to think too much about the consequences of them as some are very complex.

Can you confirm if your Nebulon and CR90 are from the Core set or are in addition to these, as this would open up more options for you.

Enjoy the game!

Thank you!!!

I have the core set and the neb b and cr90 expansions. I just bought a 2nd gr75 and ordered an mc30 from the recent ffg restock.

I really like using raddus to drop in a ship on the flank like that, seems good!

You’re welcome!

Good call on the MC30. It comes with so many good cards that can be used on other ships too. The Turbo Laser Reroute Circuit card is an almost auto select for the CR90A, and Dodonna and Ackbar are great with MC30’s. Adding one of these to your list will help you immensely. Knowing now that you have a Nebulon B pack, this means you have the Yavaris title. This used properly with Rebel squadrons is great. I suggest you look up online some of the blogs and sites about Armada. A couple are for example Cannot Get Your Ship Out and Steel Strategy (apologies to all those on the forum that have one running for not mentioning yours lol). These explain everything you need to get started from ships to Commanders, Squadrons, Objectives, etc.....

Let everyone on the forum know how you get on next game, so that people can offer advice on changes or tactics.

Edited for correct proper England! Lol

As an after thought, just before Christmas an upgrade card set is coming out in support of Clone Wars. This would be a good opportunity to grab a ton of cards that would only be available on certain ships.

Yes thanks again! The difficult part right now is finding people willing to get together in person (even if we mask up).

I will grab that card box. I am definitely not a fan of the switch to larger upgrade cards though. It's already so tough to have enough space to play. Will the cards be stackable?

The space thing will be an issue, as I like to play MSU’s, so I’m normally spread out across the table. I’m considering using the hockey card sleeves that hold 9 cards to see if that’s better.
