Have you tried out the Lambda Shuttle for the Imperial fleet in Star Wars Armada yet? You probably will after this next tactics and tips rundown!
Colonel Jendon is a powerhouse as a squadron for the Imperial fleet. It’s not his attack dice that are powerful, but his support abilities that make him a force multiplier for the Empire. He has an inherent ability to give up his attack to allow a friendly squadron at distance 1-2 perform an additional attack, even if it has already activated. This is huge as some Imperial squads have a fist-fulls of attack dice to throw out at the Rebels. Ponder the Saber Squadron TIE Interceptor squadron for a moment.
This squadron comes with a relatively new ability: Snipe. It allows this squadron to attack at distance 2 with 4 blue dice, and be immune from Counter. Add in the Swarm ability and it’s no sweat to maximize your damage with each volley. Use Colonel Jendon to perform another Snipe and you can potentially take out any squadron the Rebels can throw at you! Another nifty ability is to Relay up to 2 squadrons whenever a friendly ship performs a squadron command. Boost your comms and extend those fighters to reach those nimble Rebel ships. Try out the Saber/ Jendon combo and see how it will work out for you!
