Faction: Rebel Alliance
Points: 397/400  

Commander: General Dodonna

Assault Objective: Most Wanted
Defense Objective: Fighter Ambush
Navigation Objective: Superior Positions

 

[ flagship ] Assault Frigate Mark II B(72 points)
-  General Dodonna  ( 20  points) 
-  Raymus Antilles  ( 7  points) 
-  Flight Controllers  ( 6  points) 
-  Expanded Hangar Bay  ( 5  points) 
= 110 total ship cost

 

Nebulon-B Escort Frigate (57 points)
-  Yavaris  ( 5  points) 
-  Adar Tallon  ( 10  points) 
= 72 total ship cost

 

CR90 Corvette B (39 points)
-  Jainas Light  ( 2  points) 
-  SW 7 Ion Batteries  ( 5  points) 
= 46 total ship cost

 

GR-75 Medium Transports (18 points)
= 18 total ship cost

 

GR-75 Medium Transports (18 points)
= 18 total ship cost

 

1 Tycho Celchu ( 16 points) 
1 Shara Bey ( 17 points) 
1 Biggs Darklighter ( 19 points) 
1 Gold Squadron ( 12 points) 
3 X-Wing Squadrons ( 39 points) 
3 Y-Wing Squadrons ( 30 points)

Before anyone mentions it, the CR90 was initially a A variant, but I wanted to have some kind of weapon upgrade. This will be my first ever use of flying generic Y wings (and I've been playing for two years :D) . Let's run through the checklist:

Interceptors- Check

Escorts- Check

Escortees (Y wings)-Check 

Relay- No, but not always needed.

Intel-No. Drop Biggs for Jan Ors?

And if anyone is wondering, my Shrimps and Corvettes fleet had minimal success. I lost the game, but I flew like a pro. **** Solar Corona messing with my SW-7s and H-9s!

 

EDIT: A slightly revised version dropping Adar Tallon for BCC.

I'd drop Jaina's Light from the CR90
And also drop Raymus, you are only bringing him for one more activation with Flight controllers, which means one blue die.
Not worth those seven points.

You can then put Toryn on a GR-75 with bright hope and comms net (instead of the jamming field) and get rerolls while sending over the tokens Raymus would create.
Or just replace him with Toryn and lose that one die.

Squadrons: I don't think Tycho does a lot here.

Agree on A-Wing aces, dagger squadron and ten numb would do Better Service instead of them. Escort Will prevent them from using counter unless you position them accordingly. Also, id put raymus on yavaris, that way you can Double tap 3 squads. Adat is Good on af. If you go the b-Wing way, youll need Fighter coordination team and flight commander on yavaris. With this many bombers, consider Nora and Jan, They are really Good.

Just a Small thing: You might flak with the Af. That Case youd want to use toryn. Af is already a juicy target, for this Two reason id move her to one of the transports, She has no effect on their Black flack anyway.

I'll do that.

Weirdly I was working on a Dodanna bomber force today! I'm pretty inexperienced with Rebels (being mostly an evil imperial admiral) so it probably pales in comparison to yours (for starters you have Yavaris, which is excellent)

Janny Reb [399pts]

CR90 Corvette A [54pts]: Turbolaser Reroute Circuits, •Tantive IV

 

GR-75 Medium Transports [26pts]: Bomber Command Center

 

MC30c Torpedo Frigate [84pts]: Assault Proton Torpedoes, Ordnance Experts, Redundant Shields, •Lando Calrissian

 

MC80 Command Cruiser [142pts]: Fighter Coordination Team, XX-9 Turbolasers, •General Dodonna, •Independence

+ Squadrons +

B-Wing [28pts]: 2x B-Wing Squadron

HWK-290 [19pts]: •Jan Ors (Moldy Crow)

X-Wing [33pts]: X-Wing Squadron, •Luke Skywalker

YT-1300 [13pts]: YT-1300

++ Total: [399pts] ++

I like the fleet! But there are a few things that could be changed. Swap out Tantive IV for Jaina's Light, swap out redundant sheilds for Admonition, and lastly, swap out your generic X wing for another YT-1300. The B wings love those guys as Escorts more than the love X wings. Everything else looks good.

[anonymousguy 119]

I don't think Yavaris belongs in this fleet, there is nothing in here to utilize its ability. You'd want B-wings, Gold Squadron, Scurrgs, and guys like Wedge, Dutch, and Luke. 

[stonestokes 737]

Schmidty, you have more escorts than you need. You have as many squadrons escorting your bombers as you have bombers. The only squadrons that you really need escort for are Jan Ors and Norra Wexley. If my opponent wants to shoot at my Y-Wings, I'm happy to let them. They cost only 10 points and they have a ton of hull value. And if you drop a lot of your escorts, you don't need Biggs.

Something like:

Jan Ors [19]
X-Wings (x2) [23]
Norra Wexley [17]
Gold Squadron [12]
Y-Wings (x6) [60]

Total = 134 points

I put X-Wings instead of YT-1300s because they are a little better at attacking enemy fighters and they have bomber, but I see no reason why YT-1300s couldn't be used instead.

(Also...your squadrons are over the 134-point limit by 2 points! You can easily fix that by changing Gold Squadron to a generic Y-Wing squadron.)

[anonymousguy 119]

I agree with @stonestokes's idea.

Man, what a surprise to see so much love around Dodonna in the last weeks! Good to see so many lists spawning around Dodonna the White! (I mean, not only to spare points on the Admiral)

We have a lot in our local meta as well that have turned to Dodonna.

Yeah, I love Dodonna. I have my own "Dodonna's Bommas" fleet with which I've done pretty well, and it is quite similar to the OP's. Only recently have I started finding success with other Rebel commanders.

[durandal343 418]

Any fleet that is using Raymus and EHB to get another squad command out of things should really consider using Leia as a commander.  Unless you're really in love with the crit picking that Dodonna gives you, Leia will be Raymus and EHB all in one card for not much more (Raymus + EHB + Dodonna = 32).  Plus all your other ships gain her advantage.  I suppose if you were planning on putting Raymus and EHB on the same ship, Leia's effect wouldn't be equivalent.  Still a thought though.
