So its been a long while since I have set at a table even a virtual table, and as Clone Wars approaches and the game will change forever I just wanted to take a moment and look back on some of the more recently list I have played that I thoughtfully enjoyed, so let's take a look.
First up is my salvo Starhawk list:
Starhawk Battleship Mark II (150)
• Kyrsta Agate (20)
• Walex Blissex (5)
• Expert Shield Tech (5)
• Local Fire Control (4)
• Quad Laser Turrets (5)
• High-Capacity Ion Turbines (8)
• Linked Turbolaser Towers (7)
• Unity (10)
= 214 Points
GR-75 Medium Transports (18)
• Toryn Farr (7)
• Slicer Tools (7)
• Bright Hope (2)
= 34 Points
GR-75 Medium Transports (18)
• Leia Organa (3)
• Comms Net (2)
= 23 Points
Squadrons:
• Nym (21)
• Hera Syndulla (28)
• Wedge Antilles (19)
• Dutch Vander (16)
• Ketsu Onyo (22)
• Lando Calrissian (23)
= 129 Points
Total Points: 400
The idea with this list was you have to attack the Starhawk to win basically, and its going to get a lot of salvo attacks off because of that, and with a solid squadball to support it and agate, Unity Expert Shield techs and Blissex you where going to have a hard time taking it down. I don't believe I ever lost a game with this list, and it was a really easy list to play it was double arc with the starhawk use LTT and Toryan for re-rolls and if nym can take off the brace of a ship even better. With the new ace cap this list will no longer be viable, but it was a good and fun run. Next up was a list I played the day the Starhawk and Onager launched.
Onager Testbed (96)
• Admiral Ozzel (2)
• Gunnery Chief Varnillian (6)
• Veteran Gunners (5)
• Orbital Bombardment Particle Cannons (5)
• Cataclysm (5)
= 119 Points
Quasar Fire I (54)
• Governor Pryce (7)
• Flight Controllers (6)
• Boosted Comms (4)
• Expanded Hangar Bay (5)
• Squall (3)
= 79 Points
Arquitens Light Cruiser (54)
• General Romodi (20)
• Hondo Ohnaka (2)
• Linked Turbolaser Towers (7)
= 83 Points
Squadrons:
• Colonel Jendon (20)

• Mauler Mithel (15)
• Morna Kee (27)
• Dengar (20)
• Zertik Strom (15)
= 118 Points
Total Points: 399
It was a really fun night one of my favorite Armada experiences Pizza, new ships and a ton of Armada games, I think we got in 4 or so games it was great fun. This was my favorite list I played from that night, it was really fun and this list showed me how powerful the Cataclysm+Squall combo was and because of that and how fun the night was it's a memorable list to me.
Next up was my LVO list:
Assault Frigate Mk2 B (72)
• Admiral Ackbar (38)
• Intel Officer (7)
• Gunnery Team (7)
• Electronic Countermeasures (7)
• Linked Turbolaser Towers (7)
= 138 Points
Assault Frigate Mk2 B (72)
• Intel Officer (7)
• Gunnery Team (7)
• Electronic Countermeasures (7)
• Linked Turbolaser Towers (7)
= 100 Points
Pelta Assault Ship (56)
• Ezra Bridger (3)
• Engine Techs (8)
• Intensify Firepower! (6)
• External Racks (3)
= 76 Points
GR-75 Medium Transports (18)
• Hondo Ohnaka (2)
• Comms Net (2)
= 22 Points
GR-75 Medium Transports (18)
• Comms Net (2)
= 20 Points
Squadrons:
• 4 x A-wing Squadron (44)
= 44 Points
Total Points: 400
LVO was a good experience and the highest level of competitive armada I have attended. I finished 12 overall, and I will probably be beating myself up over tuning my assault frigates inside and not outside in round 2 but you live and you learn. It was a fun list and a unique list and while it was defiantly a stressful and somewhat intimidating day it was still really fun and a great experience. Another List I have really enjoyed flying is my Piett List:
Imperial II (120)
• Admiral Piett (22)
• Commander Vanto (7)
• Weapons Battery Techs (5)
• Reserve Hangar Deck (3)
• Electronic Countermeasures (7)
• Heavy Ion Emplacements (9)
• Linked Turbolaser Towers (7)
= 180 Points
Gladiator I (56)
• Captain Brunson (5)
• Ordnance Experts (4)
• Assault Concussion Missiles (7)
• Demolisher (10)
= 82 Points
Gozanti Cruisers (23)
• Darth Vader (1)
• Vector (2)
= 26 Points
Squadrons:
• Colonel Jendon (20)
• Maarek Stele (21)
• Mauler Mithel (15)
• Morna Kee (27)
• JumpMaster 5000 (12)
• Tempest Squadron (13)
= 108 Points
Total Points: 396
It is one of my favorite lists I have played in a long time and is probably my go to Imperial list at the moment as I am kinda sick of the Onager right now. It all just works together so beautifully Heavy Ion Emplacements and ACMs just do wonders together factor in the MMJ combo Vanto Piett combo is really nice you are almost always going to use a squadron command, but vanto gives you a lot of flexibility. Its a really fun list to play and and it feels unique on the table so I just really like it. Now Probably my new go to rebel list, and just go to list in general.
Assault Frigate Mk2 A (81)
• Kyrsta Agate (20)
• Walex Blissex (5)
• Local Fire Control (4)
• Reinforced Blast Doors (5)
• Paragon (5)
= 120 Points
Pelta Command Ship (60)
• Intensify Firepower! (6)
• Disposable Capacitors (3)
= 69 Points
Nebulon-B Support Refit (51)
• Skilled First Officer (1)
• Auxiliary Shields Team (3)
• Salvation (7)
= 62 Points
Nebulon-B Support Refit (51)
• Skilled First Officer (1)
• Auxiliary Shields Team (3)
= 55 Points
GR-75 Medium Transports (18)
• Hondo Ohnaka (2)
• Comms Net (2)
= 22 Points
GR-75 Medium Transports (18)
• Slicer Tools (7)
= 25 Points
Squadrons:
• 4 x A-wing Squadron (44)
= 44 Points
Total Points: 397
This is currently my favorite list, I love the Paragon Salvo stuff it's just awesome Intensify is just so solid as we are dealing with smaller dice pools, but Salvation can still hit pretty hard at times. Skilled first officer makes it easy to switch between navigate and Con fire commands to really make the ships hit harder than you would expect Slicer tools and the small group of A-wings can really hold off a squadron ball a lot longer than players may think. I really can't say more its my current favorite list.
We will have to wait and see what clone wars brings to the table and how it changes the game, and I look forward to it. hopefully we get some announcements about the rule changes and card updates in the coming weeks. What are some of your favorite or most memorable lists? Until next time have a great week!
