Making the Killer Corvette In Star Wars Armada

The little Corvette is not a ship to ignore in Star Wars Armada. Come and see how this ship can be the worst nightmare of an Imperial officer. 

This ship can be elusive and put out some serious damage at long range. It prefers to lurk at long range and dish out red die, but everyone knows that those dice can be very fickle. Keep your shots on target with Turbolaser Reroute Circuits.

TRCs allow you to spend an Evade token to turn a red die to a crit or hit side. Since the CR90A has redundant Evades, this is the perfect upgrade for this little ship. Getting 4 damage from 2 dice is not bad for a small ship. But since you will be taking pot shots from far away, force your opponent to make a tough decision by making him pay for cancelling your damage. Enter the Intel Officer.

The Brace is the most coveted defensive token in Armada, and Intel Officers love to get rid of them for you. After you fire your 2 or 3 die attack, target their Brace with Intel officer and force them to take the damage. They more than likely will not want to burn a Brace on 2 attack dice, so its free damage for you. The best way to take an Imperial Star Destroyer is a death by 1,000 cuts. Just ask those B-Wing pilots!
