Months ago I asked about a Home One/dual MC30 Ackbar list. Well now I'm revisiting the topic with this: 387/400 MC80 Command -Ackbar -Advanced Projectors -Home One MC30 Torpedo -Ordnance Experts -Assault Proton Torpedoes -Quad TC MC30 Torpedo -Ordnance Experts -Assault Proton Torpedoes -Quad TC GR-75 Transport -Repair Crews A-Wings x4 What do you guys and gals think?

Good to know and thank you for that explanation. I think for now I'll stick with my original setup but it's good to know for the future that I shouldn't poo-poo the idea of putting MK and XI7 together.

You're right, your opponents need more practice with Mon Mothma.

Yup, it's insurance against that.

I've been away from the forums lately. You've calculated that MK+XI7 will do more damage than the extra red die with MK? As for the Vet Gunners, my idea is that at long range I'll be launching 5 reds (assuming spinal armament). There's a chance that I could have a bad roll and at that range I can't use leading shots. But we'll see how it works in practice.

But now we have Fighter Coordination Teams, what is your opinion on Independence? I think it's still relevant. I use boosted coms and keep Ind far away from the action. FCT only works up to medium range.

I successfully used Independence and Bs during wave 2. Each game I only used the title once but each time it was at a critical point and probably made the difference between a win and a loss. I wouldn't waste points on a turbolaser or ion upgrade on the MC80--you want to keep it away from the fight. Your bombers are your main source of damage output. This type of list isn't designed to support the 80 in a battle wagon role and that's ok.

I should mention that this is 394 points

What do you think, is this viable or just foolish? The idea is that against a more maneuverable opponent, the shrimps stay on the flanks of the Lib. Against a less maneuverable one, the shrimps jump in while Mon Karren shoots from distance. Liberty: MC80 Battle Cruiser (103 + 29) + Skilled First Officer (1) + Veteran Gunners (5) + Medical Team (1) + XX-9 Turbolasers (5) + Spinal Armament (9) + Mon Karren (8) MC30c Frigate: MC30c Torpedo Frigate (63 + 21) + Lando Calrissian (4) + Ordnance Experts (4) + Assault Proton Torpedoes (5) + Admonition (8) MC30c Frigate: MC30c Torpedo Frigate (63 + 9) + Ordnance Experts (4) + Assault Proton Torpedoes (5) Rebel Transports: GR-75 Medium Transports (18 + 34) + General Madine (30) + Comms Net (2) + Bright Hope (2) Squadrons: A-wing Squadron (11) Squadrons: A-wing Squadron (11) Squadrons: YT-2400 (16) Squadrons: YT-2400 (16)

Great article and it's awesome that the developers also read it!

My Riekken Independence/B wing list loved going 2nd. Your mileage may vary of course. Check out Biggs' blog for an excellent article on this.

So I just picked up Lords of the Sith just now. Impulse buy (it was on a stand next to the checkout aisle at a grocery store). Will commence reading soon.

Thanks guys. I think I'll check out Bloodlines and Tarkin, and if I like what I see I'll go for Rebel Dawn as well. Anyone know if Dark Disciple is worth checking out?

I love to read but don't have the time to read everything I want. What are everyone's opinions of the new books (i.e. everything that's now considered canon)? Which ones are worth reading and which are skippable?

Seriously, those guys need to stop being so selfish and give us another three hour long podcast for free!

Looks like someone hasn't been watching Dawson's Creek!

More importantly, how do we integrate this into a larger Rebellion campaign?

Remind me never to let you use KY stuff again. . . Well you see the wife and I have this kinky version of Armada...it's called Hide the Ackbar...

This is why I also play Rebellion! Which is brilliant just the way it is and needs no expansions. Wait for it.....notice how the board only looks like half a galaxy..... That's because you forgot to take the second board out of the box, doofus *winks*

This is why I also play Rebellion! Which is brilliant just the way it is and needs no expansions. Wait for it.....notice how the board only looks like half a galaxy..... There are calls for expansions to Rebellion. I don't think they'll do expansions. Regarding the map: it looks that way because there is a large unknown region on the western end of the galaxy. The map looks the way it does for this reason. That said, I think I would like for there to be expansions, and I can think of some things they could add to it. However, I only think they'll do those expansions if Rebellion proves to be very popular. The jury is still out on that, I think. Iskander4000, we need to find a day to play Rebellion, man. Rebellion has no expansions. Rebellion needs no expansions. But if they ever make one there is a 99.9% chance that I'll get it. And yes Mikael we certainly do need to...July is pretty crazy for me but let's talk in a few weeks and figure something out.

So no more breaking everyone else's range rulers and winning by default, since I'll still have to share mine. FFG must really hate its customers.

You know what Fantasy Flight Games should do? Record this and post it on YouTube. Not only would it be fun to watch, but it might attract potential new players who have only seen tutorial/introductory videos.

Hoping that one of the number crunchers here can show the difference between this combo and the traditional OE/APT
