Whale, Whale, Whale what do we have here...

[Kerg12 108]

So I put together a list and think it could potential be a strong fleet for most situations.

 

A.F. MarkII-B:  Gunnery Team, X17, ECM, Veteran Captian and Ackbar

A.F. MarkII-B:  Gunnery Team, X17, ECM, Veteran Captian

A.F. MarkII-B:  Gunnery Team, X17, ECM, Veteran Captian

Squardrons:  Han, Dash, Wedge, YT-2400. 

 

Not sure on the objectives but I think this fleet has some potential. I have yet to try it out though.

 

Thoughts??

This is f*#!in brutal! I like it a lot. Squad game could be beat but you have a lot of resilience there for only 4 squads. Def opening salvo for one obj.

[Kerg12 108]

Thanks, was thinking of removing veteran captain from all of them to possibly upgrade one with tracor beams

[Purplestreak808 13]

NO! that would be pointless. One tractor beam on a medium ship wouldn't be that effective. I was thinking, if anything, dice um all for an adar or raymus. Garm bell also wouldn't be the worst admiral in terms of effectiveness. But then you lose a ton of dice.

[Purplestreak808 13]

Or maybe sneak an intel officer in there, clutch with x17s. Either way, I wouldn't change must without play testing.

[Kerg12 108]

Hmm the intel officer sounds nice actually. you might be on to something

[Purplestreak808 13]

Yah, I love that card, would do it on a non-ackbar one. No reason to make it a bigger target.

[Kerg12 108]

Oh in my meta, ackbar is the must kill no matter what haha

I would go with Intel officer instead of veteran captains.

 

I would also drop the aces and go with generic X-wings with a goal of tying up enemy squadrons so you can hammer the ships with the guppies.

Surprise, surprise, surprise!  You're 8 points above 400.

Suggestion:  Drop Wedge, replace Veteran Captains with Support Officers, and come in with an 8 point initiative bid.  What you give up in anti-squadron power is minimal since Wedge would require constant squadron commands from somewhere to be effective.

 

Support Officers will let you change those AF2s to Repair or Concentrate Fire at the critical moment you need.  Keep them as Navigates until the last moment to ensure you stay at maximum range during engagement.

has been said already, to emphasize it: include the intel officer

having a broadside with ackbar and threatening to remove brace at first use....not nice. was just at the receiving end of something very similar.

Intel is also great because in an ECM heavy world its one of the few counters.

[Kerg12 108]

I did realize I was 8 over, I actually forgot to place an "or" in front of the yt-2400.
