3 Rebel options for a local event

[3 Rebel options for a local event]

David you can always borrow my Corvette's if you want to spam them. That would provide 4 total including yours.....

[Two Empire Builds]

I'm really unsure about superior positions on the first list.....many lists will be too fast and get around behind for those rear shot tokens.

[OSD Evade]

"He's listing gently to the left"

 

"He knows a few manoeuvres".

3rd list is Dodonna on the Neb B (making it 78 points and the list balance to 300).

 

Overload isn't a bad idea, and I'd also save enough points to get Leia onto a Corvette (which I love to ensure my bigger ships can use a variation order if required at <3 turns notice), however I would feel pretty exposed with only 4 squadrons.....

Nebulon B Escort (57)

- Yvaris

- Garm Bel Iblis

Nebulon B Support (51)

- Salvation

- XX7 Turbolasers

= 64 Points

 

Assault Frigate (72 points)

- Electronic Countermeasures

- Paragon

=84 Points

 

2 Awing Squads

Tycho Celchu

2 Xwing Squads

299 Total.

 

I've played this list for 3 wins last week, a mirror match and 2 against Victory Heavy Imperials. Untested against Gladiators.....

 

List B:

= 84 Points

 

Assault Frigate

= 72 Points

 

Nebulon B Support (51)

4 Awing Squads

Tycho Celchu.

 

300 on the button.

 

List C:

Love feedback, thoughts, and which list looks nicer.

[How do you balance your squadrons?]

Personally, I reckon A-wing just fit the bill perfectly for Rebels. 3 Blue dice + counter is great. Only problem is they die fairly easily with just 4 hp. They even roll a black dice which is a 75% chance of a hit against capitals as I count it.

 

In order to add to survivability, I tend to use X-wing squadrons to carefully place them and use the escort rule to stop concentrating fire on my A-wings.

 

I also love Tycho I'll happily zip him into a group 2-3 TIEs early, and burn scatter / Brace as needed to survive. Counter them dishes out damage to them, and next turn if possible I can Yvaris and clean out 3 squadrons..... (3 dice on squadron A as I zip in, 2 dice on A, B, C as counters, 3 dice on B + C in my first activation next turn due to Yvaris).

 

My cheaper squadron build is currently:

 

2 x A-wing

2 x X-wing

Tycho Celchu

Total: 64 points.

 

As a carrier I use Yavris - Neb B Escort and nothing else to keep it cheap.
