RogueCommander 236 Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) After regionals, I wanted to retire Yavaris for awhile and take the Pelta for a spin. I'd also had my eye towards the rumors about Biggs and Nora. its been quite a lot of fun, if fragile. A nice two pronged attack. Strong fighter/bomber screen on one end with two support vessels to act as blockers in the face of Demo, or some such Imperial obnoxiousness. On the other side, the "I will **** you up bad if you ignore me" version of Admonition. And everything you've heard about Biggs and Nora? 100% true. They are ridiculously good.

Sharego 128 Posted February 24, 2017 I like it, but why use Fighter coordination team if you have boosted coms? 1 RogueCommander reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RogueCommander 236 Posted February 24, 2017 So I can push early if I need to and still have the command range with All Fighters. So, basically offensive flexibility. Alternatively, at a minimum, I have additional flexibility in the opening turn positioning and setting a layered fighter net if I need to strike a defensive posture. its still early days for this list, I've only run it 3 times, so definitely room for changes and tweaks. 1 Sharego reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RogueCommander 236 Posted March 3, 2017 Made some tweaks to this one. It's been performing well so far. It doesn't look like much on the table, but packs a punch. Still open to ideas on objectives.

RogueCommander 236 Posted March 3, 2017 One question I do have is, how do you think think list should approach MSUs, and blitzing fleets? Getting rushed still is a tactic I struggle with at times. Is it worth dropping FCTs to find room for Engine Techs to get some more movement, or is it better to scoot and rely on fighter screens and use the GR75s as blockers?
