Close Intel? Can it happen?
RogueCommander replied to RogueCommander's topic in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds
It is shocking how fast this can pick up tokens. -
I saw there's a tourney in July in ATX, you have anything coming soon in SA? and heck yeah, I'd love to get somegames in with you.
-
I'm going to have a hard time giving up Numb though. Especially with the Tie Swarms that I know will be incoming via Sloane.
-
Seems like you just designed v.3 ? I like it. I'm looking forward to putting them through their paces soon. and yes, San Antonio. I was part of the DFW group.

So, dusting this off with some updates. Taking into account what I remember of it's performance and @Darthain 's tips, I think this maybe a bit more versatile than it already was. im curious what the loss of Jan will do, but the thinking is that the squads either have the hull or the tokens to keep themselves alive well enough. Losing Adar might hurt a bit, but the swap for BCC should deliver more damage over all, maybe.

@BrobaFettGreat advice on this list - it's really fun to fly. Had an incomplete game against an Rieekan Aceholes list and it was doing pretty well with me as 1st player in Hyperspace Assault. The As did their job and gave the Fleet some breathing room for maneuvers. The ablative effect of the GR75s with squads was really handy in keeping Yavaris all choked and pinned up for two key rounds.

Dodonna Haven
RogueCommander replied to Tiberius the Killer's topic in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds
E Wings are great. I'd recommend dropping the generic X for another E. Reason being that 3 are more likely to be able to pile on and kill whatever you want in one activation (Dengar). -

@BrobaFett btw, what would you replace them with? -

RogueCommander replied to RogueCommander's topic in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds
I hear what you're saying. I think the idea I had revolved on trying grab 30 (or 40 if I change the screen into another TRC90) points automatically each round. So, more smaller ships racking up points while being difficult to zap, and Home One doing what it can to be bait. i put it on a platform I've had success with in the past. I've had 3 TRC90s (with Intel Officer) tear apart an Interdictor in short order. So, given all that, I'll see how it goes, then maybe start to think about streamlined optimization. -
Just a fun, first go at messing with close range Intel scan, because... it has never shown up. anyone ever try a list around it?

First try at serious bombing
RogueCommander replied to durandal343's topic in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds
Yeah, I still forget cards from time to time, but then, everyone has/does. When I first started playing, I did it often enough that one of the regulars at my FLGS had a t-shirt made in time for the Wave 2 regionals. It said, simply, "READ YOUR CARDS". If you haven't seen it, this is a good article discussing some of the finer points on how to think about the game that I found very insightful. https://intelsweep.wordpress.com/2017/01/23/pick-your-battles-a-thought-system-for-star-wars-armada/ -

Watched some of the video, were using Dodonna's ability on the asteroids? -
Needs more Jan.

I had to drop the TRC90s, but I think this maintains a punch from the Shrimp to balance out the carriers. Admo cannot be ignored, a couple of TRC90s can be by the likes of the big Imp ships. notes on other changes are below. As to the Dengar/Howl combo, prioritize Dengar then let Biggs and Co. pin them while Nora and the Bs go to work. Easier said than done, I know, but it can work. Also, run Bright Hope right up in with your squads for blocking and to add a touch more AS in tandem with Yavaris. They will probably both die, so squeeze them for as much as you can.

Especially without Boosted Comms to keep them away from the fray a bit longer. - All Fighters, Follow Me!

Tweeking a list and needing some help
RogueCommander replied to RogueCommander's topic in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds
Also, I was surprised how effective the Pelta was at projecting a tandem forward threat with the Guppy. Not the best, but enough to maybe get lucky with a raider or CR90 that strays too close. -

RogueCommander replied to RogueCommander's topic in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds
I think Jamming Field is a lark, really. With the idea being a miserable morass of Biggs and the obstruction from JF and whether or not that holds them longer than non-JF. Maybe I just really want to build a 500 pt list, because this one wants Admo and a couple of more... B Wings. -

RogueCommander replied to RogueCommander's topic in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds
The goal is to mess with squadrons in our squad heavy meta. E wings to take out who they want and the Biggs/Ketsu combo to tar pit. The downside, as you've said, is a lack of punch from the cap ships. I've won with it twice against some conventional fleets, but not by a huge margin, so... probably not competitive, but a fun anti-squad list. -
Discussion Time: The life of the Liberty
RogueCommander replied to Lyraeus's topic in Star Wars: Armada
A little anecdote on the Liberty from today in response to a mention of Nav Teams here. This time Dodonna, rather than Liberty easy-mode with Madine, Raymus and Engine Techs, ... I tried one with Nav Teams, Veteran Captain and no Engine Techs with the idea that you might only need that tighter turn a couple of times. needs more testing, but not bad. I think Engine Techs were missed more that Raymus and Madine. I would not strip it down navigationally much more than that though. One their own they are speed 3 bricks. -

Quote from Verg: "it's a Battle Cruiser- Which means it smashes smalls and can run from Large bases" Once I started playing the Lib with this mindset, Madine, and Engine Techs... I fell in love. -
Dondonna and the B-wings
RogueCommander replied to pyr0gel's topic in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds
Solid list. I've flown one that was similar, and you will likely love how those BWings cut through ships like buttah. -
Had some success with this last week and wanted to give it another go with some pro-tips from you lot. It was my first real foray into the world of E Wings and I was impressed with what a pack of 3 with Toryn Farr Could do. Unless you've really ticked off the dice gods, you stand a good chance of wiping out any Squad unit you want on a given turn. A couple of things I'm still looking at: Dash or Corran?

Poll - May 25, 1977 - A New Hope? The Original Release?
RogueCommander replied to CaribbeanNinja's topic in Star Wars: Armada
Born in '73 and possess a hazy recollection of ANH, may have seen it on re-release run after the intial (they used to do that more, right?). Anyway, distinctly remember my 7 year old self flipping out when I saw the first commercial for ESB. I saw the walkers and ran upstairs screaming there was another Star Wars movie. ESB will always be the first one I recall actually resonating beyond the 'pew-pew' awesomeness. -

But... I predicted it. It must now be so.
