Mon Mothma list

[Herr Style 152]

Just wondering if this is a viable list with only 2 MC30's and 2 CR90's?

The only ship I need to buy a CR90 as I have one from the core set plus a Mon Mothma card from someone else, so if its not, then I would get another MC30 in its place and adjust some points.

POINTS: 391

CR90 Corvette A 44
• Mon Mothma 30
• Turbolaser Reroute Circuits 7
• Jaina's Light 2
SHIP 83

SHIP 80

This looks like a great place to start for a Mothma fleet. Usually you can go with fewer fighters with her and go a little more ship heavy as her rerolls can help a lot vs bombers, but I totally get you are playing with what you have and for that it is a great fleet.

Something to consider down the line is dropping some squads to upgrade the 2nd cr90 to a 3rd MC30- MC30 swarms backed by Mothma can be quite ferocious

Thanks for the advice Moose. I'm going to be heading into a local games shop soon, and I've got the funds to either get a large ship, or a small and medium ship. If this list was OK, I would have got a CR90 and a Quasar, but if you think it would be better with a MC30, then I will get a MC30 and CR90.

More MC30’s are always better. @Ardaedhel brought 4 mothma mc30 swarms into the limelight and really showed how segregating they can be. I’ve used them myself to great success and trollery vs heavy bomber fleets. 

However, it’s worth asking if you are trying to  build up both sides evenly or are able to invest in one side more heavily at a time than the other. What is your collection looking like at the moment? Are you the only one supplying ships or do other people have their own stuff?

I have built up two ok-ish starter fleets to see if my friend who i play X wing with would be interested but he's not completely sold on it yet. So what I want is an OK fleet for if I travel into the nearest place to me that does Armada without getting my a$$ handed to me every time I play.

My Imps are 2 VSD's, a Raider, GSD, Gozanti and Sqn 1. My Rebs are CR90, 2 MC30, 2 NEB's and a Transporter. I've also got R+V.

I'm not that keen to get Reb Sqn 1, unless for the A wings, so I'm happy to flesh out my fighters with R&V and core X wings for now.

So my plan was to add to my Imps with a Quasar if 2CR90 and 2MC30 + add-ons were OK, but if you think that an additional MC30 is better then I was half thinking that anyway.

I was wondering in addition to the MC30, would an Imp Light Cruiser fit in my Imp list, or another Raider or Sqn 2?

Decisions decisions! Lol

Just to add to the above, I don't mind losing games, I played Imps against a strong Scum list in X Wing, and was always on a losing streak. I just want to avoid the arms race type strategy I had in X wing where I'm buying and buying until I get a decent-ish list.

I’d recommend not getting the third MC30 until you’re sure you like that style of play. I bought the third MC30 and ended up much preferring my CR90s after a couple games. I bought a third one of those and I never use more than one MC30 (Admonition) now.

Well, I've already got two, and I don't want them to sit in a box like my Nebulon Frigates so I will be using them. ;0)
