Fleet & Deck "Battle of Endor - Space units" - 68 Points (standard format) show extended format
created by boms Premium Member 

This is a fleet made for a tournament with the theme Battle of Endor - Choose your side and location, and I chose rebels and in space. All units and cards should then depict this choice. This fleet did not go ery well, with 2 wins and 2 losses..

The deck has few objectives (how many "bases" did the rebels really have in space around Endor), and one (rebel base) is a bit on the side of the theme, but if I hadn't included it I would be playing with 3xDeath Star Hangar, so..

Death Star Hangar and Masanya is the only way to get out the reserves. I tried to hold off on the Masanya until later in the game, and got to use it 2-3 times before it blows up, but that depends on your opponent.

The way to win is to get to the rebel bases and play them when your in your opponents home zone, and trash away his objectives.

Pretty good. I really like how thematic your deck was, except for the Death Star Hangar. I didn't see that fitting in too well, but you had to use it strategically.

Its too bad that this fleet/deck had to be limited to 30 stars. Seriously, the Battle of Endor was much, much bigger than that! I would have petitioned to have it twice as big, or at least 45 stars. Of course, that leaves a longer night and you did play 4 games it seems.

Why did you have the A-Wings in reserve? They seem pretty strong on the Attack and could have been forerunners in the fight. Also, did the fleet have to be Base Set only? It would have been helpful to use some Ground Assault Space Units in there, like some B-Wings.

Consider this: Switch out Masanya for Redemption. Now you've got one extra defense point, but you did lose the Turbolaser icon. But you picked up the Droid icon, too, which would be helpful with all of those Droid icons in your deck. So, use Gray Squadron B-Wing to bring in that Turbolaser. You do lose a little damage, and you'll have to cut two stars from something to fit it in.

BTW, what were the other choices for your factions and themes based on the game? It would stink to pick Ground Units Rebel side for Battle of Endor. What is that? A couple of speeder bikes and Chewbacca's AT-ST? Against other AT-ST, many speeder bikes, and an AT-AT in there?

Hi.
Thanks for the input! I found Death Star Hangar to be thematic, after all, how else does Luke get in?

We've tried more stars before, and it takes too long. We played 4 rounds, and had to include a finale for the two with most points, and was done in three hours ++, beginning play at 4.30 pm and was done by closing time 8.00 pm (on thursdays).
On the two rounds I lost I had the A-wings up-front, but I enjoy playing X-wings more. They've always been "closest to my heart" of all the original ships. The B-wings I dropped because of their 3* (the uncommons at least) and the 2* because I felt the A-wings were a better choice.

I am the envoy, but this tournament was suggested by one of my players. The theme was to choose side, rebel or empire and then location, space or Edor, all sets allowed. If one would choose rebel planetside, I'd allow some "captured" empire-stuff, but one would still have to have the correct cards! I have one (usually three) of every card and ship, pretty much, and feel that I have to big an advantage over my players when I build my fleets, and as such I am usually very strict, with myself, in being thematic when builing theme-decks. (Unlike one of my players who brought 3xMustafar Mining Platform, and Dagobah Swamp

My main problem with this deck is the lack of proper objectives. It's not too hard to destroy combat cards as objectives, with a defense of 7-9*..

Yeah, I thought about that too. I guess you could stretch it like that.
