Armada - Battle Report Wave 7 - Triple ISD Thrawn vs Raddus Bomb

My first Wave 7 game - made a few mistakes but that's to be expected since the hype was overwhelming!

When the hammerhead jumped in it looked like the scene in the movie

[@Marinealver]

I'm surprised you didn't just do I-class as they are only 110. Well maybe two I-class and a Kuat. Anyways wanted to see 3 ISDs so here's a like.

[@robertohollas2099]

It looked like having 5 large base ships on the table really shrinks it down. I loved it, nobody wasted time getting into the fray.

[@gilbertogawa9372]

Great video! My suggestion would be to show in more details the entire play since this was the very first wave 7 game, so we can see the news ships moving and leanr on the job over the mechanics and so on.

[@Crabbok]

Absolutely - I plan to get some more games fully recorded and planned out this way for more complete game sessions.

[@royal-wolf]

I would love to see the ships used with the cards they come with, really trying out the new play styles. I know that's how the Rebellion played that.

[@lupinisthinking]

I never even thought about using Raddus to get the drop on enemies... I think I might just have to load up a MC30 with some ordnance experts and drop that bad boi in there

[@JuergenGDB]

Crabbok you should detail the engine area of your Green ISD.... flat black or a dark Grey.. then mix white and French Blue for your engines.... Nice Battle by the way. Liking wave 7

[@royal-wolf]

I can't wait to get Raddus!! I have been running smaller ships due to my budget restrictions and having a set up where I can drop them in point blank like that will be awesome. This will be the first ship I get that's bigger than a Nebulon-B.

[@gilbertogawa9372]

Me too. I mean, The only big ship I have is the MC80 Home One, which I haven´t played yet, and budget is also limited, I´ve been playing only with small ships only (CR90/Nebulon Bs for Rebels and Imperial light cruisers and Gladiator Class Star Destroyer for Empire. Funny Empire is always winning though...

[@Blutwoelfe]

i think this was a classic Thrawn decoy attack. Only a Test and next time he will strike :)

[@PetersaberHD]

I need to get MC-75 as soon as possible. The ship itself is amazing

[@SWPerspectives]

Being able to pass is going to be an interesting play, I wouldn't mind running a fleet not moving and staying in formation.

[@ianwookiewinter9943]

600 point battles here they come

[@Marinealver]

Nah, a standard game of 40k is at least 2,000.

[@FullmetalTimo]

@@Marinealver more like 1850 actually.

[@SephyClone7]

As much as it's fun to use Thrawn with three ISDs how good do you think Motti or Constantine will be now? 3 14 hull ISDs with what. 14 more points to play with?

[@macca-of1yc]

Great Batrep! Loving the Rebel build

[@matisan8407]

liking the green star destroyer

[@JohnDoe-zd4rl]

Awesome battle report! the MC-80 seems a little op lol. Its ok tho. Goold luck in the future!

[@traviswinters2879]

Need to get that ship!

[@jameswilks3266]

The Mc75 looks amazing!

[@chancetheil5072]

Crabbok...as an Empire player...that's was god aweful DX

[@Crabbok]

Good thing it was just a simulation! ha ha! Now you know not to run naked Star Destroyers!

[@deviljon]

3rd one might have been a bit of an overreach eh?

[@matisan8407]

so why use Pryce when Strategic advisor can give you a free pass for 4 points. Seems to me that card is an auto-include in any big-ship list to force activation into arcs or even as you mention you can negate it off the opponent.

[@PetersaberHD]

Advisor affects one activation, Pryce affects the entire round. So if you're playing a 3-ship list vs a 5-ship list, Pryce gives you better value (that turn).

[@matisan8407]

yeah, i think that only really pays reliably when you bid for first aggressively to guarantee last/first. There are so many more situations where it is less than optimal including this one where that card was dead weight. Strategic advisor is clearly superior in that slot on a general basis and virtually mandatory now.

[@Crabbok]

Or you use both.

[@mattemler1274]

interesting, definitely agree that Star Destroyers need upgrades

[@ignatius7979]

Excellent video

[@spiritmp5]

You were like a school kid all giddy haha

[@sonicepic9995]

You should do another massive armada battle.

[@skylergalle3732]

thanks for the batrep

[@niodonker4209]

The mc75 migt be my all time favorite (after the ssd of course ; )

[@TheKingJulien22]

Wave 7!

[@crystalclearchaos5387]

why was the ISD Ramming the other ISD

[@Jane-bq8rm]

Should I fly empire or rebels

[@keenancarley4738]

Yavin IV is the size of a quarter

[@philipludvigsen76]

*Ahem* External Racks *Ahem*

[@kamuishr3]

I think I am sold on getting 75

[@Digitalfiendscom]

Now you're just rubbing it in...lol

[@rachelmcdonagh9846]

Wow a MC80 liberty took out 2 imperial star destroyer on its own that's a little op it need to be a little nerfed or something it didn't have upgrades I know but would a ISD need them honestly I know I'm getting a little triggered and I don't think this is cannon but I wish the liberty was as powerful as a VSD I know in cannon that the liberty is as strong as a ISD but to balance raider-cr90 nebulon-lightcruiser MC80 liberty-VSD MC80-ISD sorry 2 ISD beaten by 1 weaker MC80 liberty does anyone have another opinion cause I'm confused sorry

[@Crabbok]

You've got to realize though, that liberty was FULLY upgraded, and the Star Destroyers were virtually naked. (Gunnery teams did nothing against a single target). In addition to being fully upgraded it was able to warp in from hyperspace and ambush me from an angle that I didn't anticipate. Liberties can be really strong when flown well, and my opponent Sean makes it a habit of flying them well.

[@tommoolenaar3901]

Your comment is an ocean of words, yet shallow as a glass of water.

[@AzraelBlackstar]

Also rolls were strongly in favor of the Liberty. Great placement and hot dice...

[@tommoolenaar3901]

Rachel Mc Donagh I do get what you mean, though. MC 80s always struck me as retrofitted cruise liners rather than high tech battleships like star destroyers.

[@rachelmcdonagh9846]

Keyboard Athlete I thought the same thing

[@devinbae9914]

Why is ISD green?

[@lordvader1894]

Hpw did you make the ISD green like that

[@Crabbok]

Airbrush

[@lordvader1894]

@@Crabbok but do you use any other coler like black

[@trebcourie]

I want that ship.

[@joejessup9775]

Cool. Too bad Star Wars Armada is so expensive to get into, though.

[@Alphapara]

Try Barnes and Noble. I found while it's not always marked in-stores or even on their main web page, a lot of this stuff will be marked down. Found a Core Set, an ISD, and a Home One expansion all for half off not too long ago. Just look up Star Wars Armada, check in-store availability, and see what each store is selling it for.

[@jamesvalentine2845]

Yep. In the UK I don't get why we pay the exact dollar price in pounds...so a $50 is £50 and allot of other stores either have no stock (that's normal for FFG) or the reduction is only something silly like £5-10...it's a shame as I like space battles in Star Wars

[@joejessup9775]

Thanks

[@mandalorian_guy]

Check EBAY constantly. Players sell entire collections cheap. I managed to get my brother a large "starter set" collection of rebel ships and cards for about $180. It'll serve him more than enough as a start to his fleet. The only downside is scams but I haven't ran in to them yet.

[@joejessup9775]

cool, thanks

[@RC41591Shadow]

Great battle report but the constant moving of your camera was making me queasy...

[@Tryambakam108]

Did someone fart @ 1:28?

[@Crabbok]

No, that's the chairs moving against the tile floor.

[@luiscadavid9171]

video a bit too fast and rushed for me. i use your videos to learn mechanics and thought process, you skipped all that. a link to the full version would help me.
