Fleet Muster II: Lists

[LukeR]

Changed my mind and have gone back to the UCM, in reflection although the revised Scourge list performed well last week I think I misplayed certain elements, particularly the Hydras so could do with a lot more practice with them first.

So I came up with this list;

--------------------------------------
Tournament 2 Edit - 1243pts
UCM - 6 launch assets

SR11 Vanguard battlegroup (232pts)
1 x Avalon - 195pts - H
+ UCM Vice-Admiral (40pts, 4AV)
1 x Lima - 37pts - L

SR8 Line battlegroup (207pts)
2 x New Orleans - 64pts - L
1 x San Francisco - 111pts - M
1 x New Orleans - 32pts - L

SR10 Line battlegroup (176pts)
2 x New Cairo - 176pts - M

It's a slight edit on my previous list, removing one New Cairo, Madrid and Corvettes for an extra San Francisco and a group of 3 Taipei's.

While I liked the Madrid, I only used it for bombardment once and most of the time was throwing it out to screen other units or generally be a nuisance. With a second San Francisco, I can just outdrop the opponent and not worry about bombardment!

While I like corvettes, mine really only did anything in the second game where they ate through a mass of Scourge Frigates, the 1st game they killed 2 Medeas over 5 Turns and the last game they did nothing, so I don't think I'll miss them.

I did like the group of 3 Taipei's I faced in the third game at Maelstrom; while the damage output wasn't huge, it was respectable, and they were a huge nuisance.
