Disgusting. I love it.

Hey, are you and the SA crew going to Houston the 17th? A few of us from DFW are.

Very excited for that one.

I can't figur a better Red objective ... Most Wanted?

Yeah, Lando and ECM hurt to drop, but it's all I had left. I'm going to put them on and go for no bid, because really.... I don't care. Also, as tempting as Rieekan is, I just love how Mothma keeps those little buggers alive.

I agree. It's a flotilla killa'. The intel variant melts cap ships fast too, or at least sets up a more nimble Home One for a knock out.

Here's my approach. Faction: Rebel Alliance 
 Points: 389/400 
 Commander: Mon Mothma Assault Objective: Advanced Gunnery 
 Defense Objective: Hyperspace Assault 
 Navigation Objective: Superior Positions CR90 Corvette A (44 points)
 - Intel Officer ( 7 points) 
 - Turbolaser Reroute Circuits ( 7 points) 
 = 58 total ship cost CR90 Corvette A (44 points)

 - Turbolaser Reroute Circuits ( 7 points) 
 = 58 total ship cost CR90 Corvette A (44 points)

= 58 total ship cost [ flagship ] MC80 Command Cruiser (106 points)

- Home One ( 7 points) 
 - Engine Techs ( 8 points) 
 = 151 total ship cost 4 YT-2400s ( 64 points) 
 Fleet created with Armada Warlords

And, MC80 can be purposed as a carrier as well, where as the Liberty title is just...meh.

The combo I can't make work is me rolling reds and having them hit.

Very concise. Thank you!

The subject says it all.

Gross. I love it.

Here's a variant I want to take out.

Very nice. It is fun to fly! This is the start of a list I've been tinkering with for a couple of months. When this is flown well, it is surprisingly good. I've tended to have more success with it when I go second. It allows you to set for a nice net and sweep, or maybe a pincer, of your foe. I would drop some X wing to give Jan one or two YT 1300 meat shields as escort.

Nice work! I agree with Steve on Mon Karren. I'd swap it out for ET or H9s.

Yep, ship AA with fighter support is essential. Also, Yavaris is an equalizer.

The Guppy in the MM list is a monster (red dice willing) and a nimble 360 degree threat to ships and squads alike. Especially when it drops out of Hyperspace in the middle of a scrum. It's a meat shield that can't be ignored while the TRCs scrape tokens from a distance. I agree though and am leaning BWings, though I'm worried that with the surge in use due to FC and FCTs there will be a decent amount of squads overall. Dedicated anti squad lists are it's Achilles Heel because they can get hung up and taken out of the fight longer than I'd like.

So, I've had consistent success with both of these and am trying to decide which will be more robust in a competitive setting. I'm looking for a bit of distant analysis, because I'm almost to the coin toss stage. First, Mothma. Tried a Cracken variant, but left feeling like MM was more valuable mitigation.

My default as well, for all the aforementioned reasons. I treat his ability like an early Christmas gift and I like that my fleet doesn't collapse if he's killed.

Despair! Despair, all ye expecting an article. DESPAIR! So, um... topic...topic... gotta keep the thread going... Ah! Who's the named character you look most like? For me, in 20 years, I'd say Dodonna.

Just remember, APT is black only, TRC is red only.

The closest I've gotten is a combo of Tycho and 3 A Wings + Dash and 3 YT2400s. yeah, aesthetically it looks weird having a bunch of YT2400s out there, but I sure would like to run 8 of them once and see the subsequent feeding frenzy. I just can't justify the expense. I played against a 8-9 Gozanti fleet with a ton of fighters and Tarkin. Spam from hell, visually intimidating, but I beat it. Twice : )

Is it out yet? Is it out? Just a dream... I'm starting to think a couple of Flight Commanders and YT2400s will come up on eBay before this article drops....

Good, straightforward fleet. Should be fun to fly. I'd swap out the Assault for the Command variant, the HTTs for XI7s, and add Leading Shots. On the MC30s, I'd definitively swap out the EAs for TRCs. I prefer Tycho and 3 YT2400s for a light screen, and it'll allow you to ignore the temptation for Squad commands on your flagship. However, if you keep the 5 Awings, then that should free you up to put APTs on the Scouts which, with TRCs are real nice.
