Grevious and Obi wan square off again.

 Today I had another Armada game this time with a new comer to Armada but not to Star wars as he plays Legion quite a bit. This was his 2nd game of Armada using the Republic and I was using the CIS with a lightly modified list to the last game I played.

The mission we played today was solar corona both fleets came to 399pts so we rolled off for first player.

Fleets set ready to engage

My two Munificent's on my left flank

Grievous flagship on the right with a fighter screen.

The Republic force keeping a tight formation. And keeping his battle tactics close to his chest.

The opposing forces size each other up and unleash the first volley of shots.

The two flagships go toe to toe. The Providence comes off second best limping away before the second Venator takes it out.

Meanwhile out of harms way the Consular cruiser is on a mercy mission. (40pts if it ends the game in my deployment zone)

The Acclamator takes the brunt of the Munificent's firepower. But not before it drops off its fighter screen to tie up my vulture droids.

The Consular watches on from a safe distance as the fight intensifies.

By now the second Venator is on its own on the left flank taking on two ships and squadrons heading right into a debris field. Which would ultimately finish it off.

The Republic flagship and Consular watch helplessly as the second Venator goes down to bring the game to an end on turn 6.

So in the end it was another will to the forces of the CIS but it was a very close game. Both Generals went down with their ships The CIS scored 232pts to the Republics 213pts. Just 19pts in it and the whole game was close it never looked one sided.

This served as a good test game for the event in two weeks time in Petone which we are both attending. Both of us seem to be happy with the list we used today so maybe be using them at the event,
