Rebels Squad Up: Star Wars Armada

By Barclay Montgomery | December 24th, 2017 | Categories: Star Wars Armada, Star Wars Tactics

All pilots, to your ships! The Rebels need some serious squadron muscle to defeat the Imperials lead by Admiral Sloan. Suit up!

Jan Ors is ready to lead this squadron group in its fight against the dreaded Imperial Superfriends. Her Intel ability will keep your squadrons from getting locked down and her Counter 2 is great in a pinch, but she definitely needs extra help in making it to the end of the battle. Escorts to the rescue! 

Biggs makes a great bodyguard with his ability to shift damage around. If you have more X-Wings in your squadron group, you can halve the damage with Jan’s ability to let friendlies use her Brace tokens. You can then further reduce the damage by using Bigg’s ability and then distribute the damage as you wish to another Escort squadron.

Biggs and Jan will need help in thwarting the Imperial Superfriends, and Wedge is just the man to do it. We have defense, now we’ve got offense! Wedge is unparalleled in his ability to throw 6 Blue dice at a squadron that has already activated. This is plenty enough to blow away any squadrons, but we want to kick it up a notch.

Yavaris is a great ship title to help boost your squadron punch. Since the common tactic of the Empire is to get the first hit in, most times you won’t have to move Wedge or the other Rebel squadrons to shoot back at enemy fighters. 12 Blue dice from Wedge is enough to end any Imperial squadron out there, you can bet on that!

The Imperial Superfriends will surely have one battle they won;t forget with this Rebel squadron group!
