Seriously thinking of running this next time I go to my local game store, any comments on my deficiencies or any tactics? With SA thinking going first would enable me to first/last most lists, and second Iāve chosen what I Hope are difficult Objectives. Not sure of Most Wanted or Adv Gunnery, and whether Ā Hyperspace Assault would be better than Contested Outpost? I know lack of fighter screen is a gamble, so maybe stick Ord pods on the MC75 instead of ER? Anyway, here it is:
Ā MC75 Ordnance Cruiser (100)
ā¢ General Dodonna (20)
ā¢ Strategic Adviser (4)
ā¢ Ordnance Experts (4)
ā¢ External Racks (3)
ā¢ Assault Proton Torpedoes (5)
= 136 Points
MC30c Torpedo Frigate (63)
ā¢ Ordnance Experts (4)
ā¢ Assault Proton Torpedoes (5)
= 72 Points
MC30c Torpedo Frigate (63)
ā¢ Ordnance Experts (4)
ā¢ Assault Proton Torpedoes (5)
= 72 Points
MC30c Torpedo Frigate (63)
ā¢ Ordnance Experts (4)
ā¢ Assault Proton Torpedoes (5)
= 72 Points
GR-75 Medium Transports (18)
= 18 Points
Squadrons:
ā¢ 2 x VCX-100 Freighter (30)
= 30 Points
Total Points: 400
Objectives Ā Most Wanted,Ā Contested Outpost and Minefields

Christmas is coming, and Iām hoping that the man in red (ok, Mrs Style) will be dropping some extra Armada gifts offĀ at my house. This isĀ why Iāve had a few lists posted over the last few weeks.
Below is a list using an Admiral Iāve normally ignored.
Imperial I (110)
ā¢ Admiral Ozzel (20)
ā¢ Strategic Adviser (4)
ā¢ Boarding Troopers (3)
ā¢ Leading Shots (4)
ā¢ XI7 Turbolasers (6)
ā¢ Avenger (5)
= 152 Points
Gladiator I (56)
ā¢ Ordnance Experts (4)
ā¢ Engine Techs (8)
ā¢ Assault Proton Torpedoes (5)
ā¢ Demolisher (10)
= 83 Points
Raider I (44)
ā¢ Ordnance Experts (4)
ā¢ External Racks (3)
= 51 Points
Raider I (44)
ā¢ Ordnance Experts (4)
ā¢ External Racks (3)
= 51 Points
Gozanti Cruisers (23)
= 23 Points
Squadrons:
ā¢ Ciena Ree (17)
ā¢ Valen Rudor (13)
= 30 Points
Total Points: 390
I've got all the ships barring the extra Raider, hence why advice is sought, as I donāt want to buy it to just sit on a shelf. Objectives would be Adv Gunnery, Hyperspace Assault and probably Solar Corona. Would prefer to go first.Ā Thanks in advance.
-
Thanks for the comment! Will consider that and try and play test it next game!Ā

1 hour ago, Drasnighta said:I can really only talk about your nearby Meta of Hothgary- and weāre diverse, but fairly Squad heavy....
You might be Dras, but alas not I! Although I may shock you by bringing more than my token Shara/Tycho to support my MC30ās next time!Ā ?Ā (Hey, maybe thatās why I keep getting beat?????? LOL)

Iām trying to formulate my own Imperial MSU, and never thought of putting an Arquitens in there! Maybe one other way of doing this is to change TRCās over to DTT, all the APTās to Ex Racks, and give Demo Engine Techs? That way it can keep up with your raiders when they go full throttle (and get you out of trouble). Ditching APTās off Raiders for Ex Racks also helps if you are up against a lot of fighters. Just my thoughts!Ā

ā¢ Corran Horn (22)
= 70 Points
Total Points: 392
Not sure on objectives yet, but thinking Advanced Gunnery,Ā Hyperspace Assault and Solar Corona. Happy to go second, hence the bid. The MC30 would be used as my reserve, a sort of, saving the best ātil last!
Thoughts please?
Ā
As an after thought, I have two other Rieekan lists, one with an extra Nebulon B, with just Shara and Tycho as Sqn support, and one with the MC75 swapped out for another MC30, with two Nebs and a larger Squadron. Ā
-
Iām so behind with purchases because I got into Armada late that this is giving me chance to catch up with the rest of you guys. I do feel for you not having any new content though.

1 hour ago, simpatikool said:I use a Kuat loaded as above (With a FC team) with a heavy squadron build. The Kuat acts as the finisher. Hitting two crits, the ship is a deadly finisher.
Ā
If you donāt mind me asking, what was your list for this?
-
11 minutes ago, schmidty1701 said:You need Fire Control Team to activate HIE and ACM at the same time.Ā
Aha! Knew I was missing something! Thanks Schmidty!
-
Is this Kuat a viable build? Would use this instead of my Vader ISD1 in another list further down the forum. (Would need to borrow a Kuat card in any games) and then adjust my previous list to fit the points.
ISD Kuat Refit (112)
ā¢ Admiral Screed (26)
ā¢ Strategic Adviser (4)
ā¢ Ordnance Experts (4)
ā¢ Electronic Countermeasures (7)
ā¢ Heavy Ion Emplacements (9)
ā¢ Assault Concussion Missiles (7)
ā¢ Avenger (5)
= 174 Points
Strategic Advisor in to stretch out activation (and get the list under 400 points).
OE to Reroll for black crit, if a blue critĀ Ā didnāt pop up, otherwise use Screed. Would hopefully shoot with this ship after a dcapsĀ Ā VSD2. Trying to work out the math if every front arc die came up and Iām thinking 6 red, two blue (plus 2 shield from HIE), 6 black (plus 2 ACM) plus two from a concĀ fire? Well, one can hope lol (By the way, math and Armada rules arenāt my strong points lol).
-
Nice to see VSDās getting a run out.
-
How about this then? 400 points on the nose. Happy to go first or second.
Imperial I (110)
ā¢ Darth Vader (36)
ā¢ Strategic Adviser (4)
ā¢ Boarding Troopers (3)
ā¢ XI7 Turbolasers (6)
ā¢ Avenger (5)
= 164 Points
Victory II (85)
ā¢ Gunnery Team (7)
ā¢ Disposable Capacitors (3)
ā¢ Quad Battery Turrets (5)
= 100 Points
Victory I (73)
ā¢ Gunnery Team (7)
ā¢ External Racks (3)

Gozanti Cruisers (23)
= 23 Points
Squadrons:
ā¢ Ciena Ree (17)
ā¢ Valen Rudor (13)
= 30 Points
Total Points: 400
Any recommendations for a different objective to Minefields would be appreciated.Ā
-
I unfortunately donāt have the Chimera pack or Arquitens.
I did think of an ISD2, but I plumped for the ISD1 for Ā the points, and the Objectives I chose. If I win the bid and get second, then I either get Advanced Gunnery on my ISD, hopefully 20Ā points per turn from ContestedĀ Ā Outpost being guarded by two VSD 1ās, or channeling the enemy into a triangle of death killing zone with minefields! If I get out bid and someone wants to go second, then with Strategic Advisor I have the equivalent of five activations to let my ISD hopefully last/first someone (unless itās an MSU). Thatās the plan and reason behind my list. Plus Iāve got two VSDās!
-
With Strategic Advisor, maybe drop a Gozanti to tool up your Raiders with Instigator/Kallus/ FTās on one and Ex Racks on the other? Then add Suppressor on the Gozanti if you keep the Slicer Variant???? Maybe swap the Kuat for an ISD 1 to make max use of Boarding Troopers (Sqn 4 vs 2), then add X-17ās? You do lose Ex Racks though by having an ISD 1

Iāve been having fun with my Rebel MC30 list, and have been considering when to actually let my Imperials have a go. Iāve put plenty of lists out here before, but I think this will do good (hopefully). Nine point bid for second place (see objectives).Ā Could drop QBTās for 14 point bid or replace Valen Rudor with Zertik StormĀ for 12 point bid. Or something else lol.

Dreadnought for both ( used to be a first choice when playing Starwars Supremecy for nostalgia's sake). Carrack light cruiser for Imps and I think its called a CC-7700 for Rebels, their very own Interdictor.
-
Looks like if no more than 65 people attend then I might get an alt-art card!Ā ?

I think we are trying to make the VSD something that it wasnāt. I know itās a hypothetical science fiction space ship, but at the end of the day itās from a different age compared to other ships.
What is everyoneās beef with the VSD? Is it lack of firepower, or manoeuvrability? Whatever it is, that is what needs fixing to make it a staple ship. Personally, I believe itās manoeuvrability. Not 100% on a speed increase, but maybe yaw, but obviously at a price.
-
Hmmm, thinking about it, how about āBow Thrustersā, gives you an extra click of yaw at the end but costs a turbo laser slot (that way you arenāt getting something for nothing)?Ā
So the choice is QBT (or something else) or Bow Thrusters?Ā
-
Sorry my bad! When I typed in ACM I meant the new card āAdvanced Concussion Missilesā!
So you now have 3 red and 3 black dice at longĀ range for 81 points. The slot for QBT is still available so for 2 less points, you have a possible better build than a VSD 2 with DCAPs.
Im thinking that maybe a title card with a Kuat upgrade that gives it thrusters to help with the abysmal turning, but no speed increase? (Head now down behind the parapet lol).
Ā
-
If VSDs get a long range ACM, no one will ever take a VSD 2, which was the upgrade to the VSD 1. Just my thoughts.Ā
-
Only another 223 pages to go and then we will have equalled Ā the X Wing mega-thread!

Hmm, if I dropped a MC30, I'd be more keen to stick in a CR90 with TRC's, then give Admo and Aspiration titles (plus Squadrons) and have a bid (10 points?). I originally wasn't that bothered about Foresight, as I won't have them at long range.
In fact, I'm not that bothered about any of the firepower reducing titles, 'cos there's no pension plan in my Navy lol.šĀ
Any thoughts on the above?Ā
