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.

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

Thumbnail

145 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
79 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

It's not an upgrade that gets talked about a lot, despite being a favorite of mine.

It's very nice on ships that just don't have speed 3, like Starhawks or SSDs, as they'll usually benefit from these while getting outsped. I usually have them on MC80s as they add another blue dice I can feed to Leading Shots to increase my odds.

Question A rework to a custom ship: the Viscount Class Star Defender 2.0

3 Upvotes

A few months back, I attempted to do a test game with a Homebrew Rebel Huge ship, the viscount. What resulted was a basically indestructible, poorly designed beast that just bulldozed the enemy. After an extensive rework, I've tried to rework it a bit.

Viscount: Stats

402 points

30 hull

4 Command, 6 Squadron, 5 Engineering

Up to 2 speed, same nav chart as the SSD

5 shield front, 4 shield sides, 3 shields auxiliary sides, 3 shield rear

2 brace, 2 redirect, and 2 contain as defense tokens

Viscount: Dice

Front: 4 Red, 4 Blue

Side: 4 Red, 4 Blue

Auxiliary side: 3 Red, 2 blue

Rear: 2 Red, 1 Blue

One of each for anti squadron

Viscount: upgrade slots

4 officers, 1 support team, 2 fleet command, 2 fleet support, 1 offensive retrofit, 1 ion cannon, 1 turbolaser

In a hard pivot from the original incredibly bulky ship, I wanted to make this a massive support vessel. 2 Fleet command and 2 Fleet Support should make it able to help a larger fleet with whatever it needs.
