I’m due to be taking part in Kirton Games’ Star Wars Armada tournament next week but I have been struggling to decide on a list. Also, it doesn’t look like I will get an opportunity to play any practice games beforehand either.
With that in mind, I thought it would be best if I stick with something similar to what I know and came up with the following, which is a variation on what I started the Corellian Campaign with:
Admiral: Darth Vader
Flagship: Imperial 2 Star Destroyer
- Avenger
- Reinforced Blast Doors
- Gunnery Team
- Disposable Capacitors
Victory 1 Star Destroyer
- Boarding Troopers
Victory 1 Star Destroyer
- Boarding Troopers
Gozanti-class Cruisers
- Boosted Comms
Squadrons:
3 TIE Interceptors
Jumpmaster 5000
TOTAL = 400pts
I liked the bombers but decided to drop them in favour of making the ships better. With fewer squadrons, I didn’t think I needed the Lamda shuttle either. I went for Interceptors over Fighters because of their Counter attack meaning they should tie up enemy squadrons better. The Jumpmaster I wasn’t sure about, but I’m hoping it’s Intel ability may be useful and it is marginally tougher than the Interceptors. I could swap one Interceptor and the Jumpaster for Bossk, but I’m worried he will be swamped by every fighter my opponent has with nothing else to occupy them.
I haven’t decided on which mission cards to include either.
I was also tempted to do something very different and have a fighter list based around the new Admiral Sloane and Imperial Light Carrier, but haven’t quite decided on a list for that yet.
Any opinions from other Armada players, either on the list or tactics or problems I might encounter?
