But against a ship that only has 5 Hull, 1-3 Shields, and two Brace defense tokens, 8 dice means a good number of accuracy icons (neutralizing the Brace tokens) and enough damage to puncture and injure (if not destroy) the light frigate that is the Neb. This is not surprise - 8 dice is painful against anyone.

But fighters will help to distract fire, do damage to enemy squadrons without having to use anti-squadron batteries on a ship, and tie down enemy bombers (ideally) before they can reach your ships. And with the inclusion of Intel (which was not a factor in this game), even a large wing of fighters won't be a guaranteed defense. Since both sides can now field a solid number of fighters (up to 16 TIEs for the Empire, and as many as 13 squadrons for the Rebels), anti-squadron batteries are not going to be sufficient to hold off an enemy fighter wing.

Fighter screens are going to be a necessity now that we are at 400 pts.

Nebs are also relatively weak against starfighters (as they have two very poorly shielded hull zones, and have no defense tokens that help much against fighters), though Salvation was able to put a lot of fire down on ships before it died, so the two blue dice v.

So very much a 'wild card' ship as regards damage output and defense.

Nebs whiff rolls pretty often, but they can also pound away at shields and hull points pretty quickly.

It was a fun match - the strengths and weaknesses of the Neb were shown well throughout the match to both of us: Of the objectives I offered Dark Knight, he opted for Hyperspace Assault, so Salvation and Tycho are being held in reserve as we head into Turn 1. With the lower total points, I had the choice of whether to be the First Player or the Second Player, and true to form I went with my normal choice of Second Player (more on why in a tactics post in the future). Imperial Raider-IВ (Flight Controllers, Extended Hangar Bay): 55 pts Imperial Raider-I (Flight Controllers, Extended Hangar Bay): 55 pts Imperial Star Destroyer-II (Tarkin, Gunnery Team, Boosted Comms, Electronic Countermeasures): 176 pts Nebulon B Escort Frigate (Salvation, Turbolaser Reroute Circuits, Intel Officer): 78 ptsДark Knight's Forces (Galactic Empire - 398 pts) Nebulon B Escort Frigate (Yavaris, Riekaan): 92 pts Jango's Forces (Rebel Alliance - 396 pts)

I took an army that relies heavily on Nebs (probably too heavily, but hey: we're focusing on Nebs, so what's a bro supposed to do, :) ).
