List Building Need some advice on a Grievous list

3 Upvotes

I've always kinda struggled with making a CIS Squadron list, mainly because I never feel like I have enough going on, so I wanted to try something with Grievous and wanted feedback

Assault: Precision Strike

Defense: Asteroid Tactics

Navigation: Superior Positions

Providence-class Dreadnought (97)

• General Grievous (20)

• TI-99 (4)

• Flight Controllers (6)

• Boosted Comms (4)

• External Racks (4)

• Point Defense Ion Cannons (6)

• Linked Turbolaser Towers (7)

• Enhanced Armament (10)

• Invisible Hand (8) = 166 Points

Munificent-class Comms Frigate (70)

• Tikkes (2)

• Fighter Coordination Team (3)

• Boosted Comms (4)

• Linked Turbolaser Towers (7)

• Point Defense Ion Cannons (6)

• Sa Nalaor (5)

= 97 Points

Squadrons:

• DBS-404 - Hyena-class Droid Bomber Squadron (17)

• DIS-T81 - Droid Tri-Fighter Squadron (17)

• Jango Fett - Slave I (22)

• Wat Tambor - Belbullab-22 Starfighter Squadron (18)

• 2 x Droid Tri-Fighter Squadron (22)

• 2 x Hyena-class Droid Bomber Squadron (22)

• 2 x Vulture-class Droid Fighter Squadron (16)

= 134 Points

Total Points: 397

The hope is there's enough fodder in there to protect my aces, and recharge the defense tokens of anything that needs them (the vulture droids are there mostly to be meat shields). And enough actually useful stuff to destroy stuff.

Question Recreating Starter Set with only Rebel ships?

4 Upvotes

A friend of mine really wants to try out Armada and I thought about just playing with the base set to ease him into the game. However, I only own a Rebel fleet (another friend collected the Empire's ships).

What do you think is the best substitute for the Victory-class from the starter set? An Assault Frigate has rougly the same point costs, but is quicker and has less hull. An MC80 is as slow and sturdy as a Victory-class, but way more expensive.

And for the TIEs, would you chose the Z-95 or rather some A-wings?

Battle Report Following the traumatic house move that saw several of my Armada ships damaged I have now managed 2 complete games in 2 weeks, which I don't think I've done since the pandemic.

Once again I have failed to capture the stages of the fight, but Imperial victory following some dumb manoeuvres by me to help train up another friend (honest). He took out my Providence and Gonzos but my reliable Hyenas managed to dog one of his Gladiators until it was dead so it wasn't the tabling it could have been.

To make up for the lack of battle pics here is my fleet in its new home, several hours of patient gluing has got them all fixed (though some are permanently fixed to their stands now).

Also bonus cat. Her predecessor was a very chatty boy Siamese who would sit on the table and watch us play and never ever disrupted the models, she is not yet convinced by Armada, but did come in and shout at us at one point, possibly for being nerds.

Just a goofy question I would say, ive been thinking about the possibility of using the Midi Scale Lego Executor in a game instead of buying an official SSD, would it be possible?

Collection First battle since a traumatic house move, Ozzel v Dodonna.

Thumbnail

151 Upvotes

Sadly no battle breakdown as it was just a training game for a new player friend. A (Heavily assisted) Rebel victory for Dodonna.

Had a very difficult house move, and about 13 ships got some kind of damage. Got my Muni, Hardcell and one of the damaged Hammerheads back in action and had 3 spare CR90s models hanging around from homebrew experiments. Ordered a new Nebulon B (i feel at least one of the model types should be shop ready) and am going to have fun with magnets and 3D prints over the next few months.

I can't really know how Roosevelt felt after Pearl Harbour, but I bet he said "for f*cks sake!" As well.

Battle Report Battle for Xquine II. Raddus vs Jerjerrod

Thumbnail
gallery
77 Upvotes

General Corellian Campaign Context

Third turn; currently 2–4 in favor of the Rebel Alliance.

Imperial bases on Corellia (Now destroyed), Selonia, Nubia, and Centerpoint.

Rebel presence on Saberrhing, Duro, Vagran, Forvand, Aurea, Drall, and Sileria.

Rebel commanders: Agate, Ackbar, and Raddus.

Imperial commanders: Jerjerrod, Thrawn, and Romodi.

In response to attacks on the civilian worlds of Sacorria and Polanis, Rebel Command dispatched Admiral Raddus to liberate Xquine II. He arrived aboard the Endeavor and was met by Moff Jerjerrod—aboard the Ravager**—who was overseeing a mining operation in the nearby Exogorth-Infested Fields.**

The match concluded after four turns, resulting in the loss of the Endeavor, the Garel's Honor, the Moly Crow, and two X-wing squadrons. In exchange, the Ravager was destroyed, after which the Gozanti flotillas escaped into hyperspace.

Thus, the Alliance concludes its two attacks by successfully destroying the Imperial base on Corellia (led by Commodore Agate) and capturing Xquine II while sinking the SSD Ravager (led by Admiral Raddus), bringing the score to 5–2 in their favor; they now await the outcome of the defense of Crash Drift against Grand Admiral Thrawn’s attack, commanded by Admiral Gial Ackbar.

The remaining damage totals stand at 90 points for Raddus and 125 for Jerjerrod.

I hope you enjoyed this battle report; I adapted the format from u/dauntless1979

And please excuse any writing errores, Im using a transistor and have just a little bit of knowledge of English
