Dilgar War Fleet Suggestions

[Hash]

I'm taking the LONAW in the upcoming Sentient Rabbits tournament (3rd May) based on the Dilgar Wars.

5pt Raid fleet comprised of the very finest ships (well anything pre-2232 + Avioki (Brakiri) and Avenger (EA)) A LONAW fleet can include all League races + Early Era EA (but no Saggs) and a 12 ship limit.

What would you pick? I'm thinking of taking a "rainbow" alliance fleet...not for effectiveness just because it might be fun...something like:

1. Abbai: Shyarie Jammer x 4 (4 Patrol choices for 1 Raid Point)
2. Vree: Xeel War Carrier x 2 (2 Skirmish choices for 1 Raid Point)
3. Brakiri: Brikorta x 2 (2 Skirmish choices for 1 Raid Point)
4. Drazi: Strikehawk x 2 (2 Skirmish choices for 1 Raid Point)
5. Early Era EA: Avenger x 1 (1 Raid Point)

Incidentally this gives me...

8 x Tzymm
8 x Falkosi
2 x Sky Serpents
8 x Nova Star Furies (+ Fleet Carrier although can't recover LONAW fighters)

What do you think? Sure I could scrub the EA and take the Pak but they're far too good for refitted Drazi hulls and the Abbai don't make a heck of a lot of sense but the comm jammer is funny and they allow you to make Admiral Akbar jokes so it's all good.

Suggestions?

you know i forgot you get 4 patrol for 1 pt of raid!

"Its a trap!"

I think fighter heavy fleets are sweet and its great as this is the random fleets i was hoping LONAW players would choose!

 

[TGT]

I like EA NOVA's why don't you?

 

[Burger]

Bloody hell, I'm gonna need more escorts...
The Avenger would give you the +1 dogfight to all (inc LONAW) fighters, btw...

I'm limited by the models i own, at present i'm on Aviokis and Brikortas and um, weelll thats it... I did ponder one corumai and 2 Brikortas, but decided that might be a bit daft! quick to play, but as likely to win as, oh wait, well i never win, what the heck, 1 corumai and 2 brikortas coming up!

In the fleet carrier rules. It specifies that you can only recover flights that you can normally carry - but no such clause is there for the +1 dogfight bonus.

there are 3 viable Brakiri ships, it was more issues with Brakiri fleet compoition, and lack of any potential ally models than an actual lack of Brakiri models. i have no abbai, Vree, Drazi, or Early EA

i can support your fleet deployment
I'm bringing my stuff for otehrs to use
let me know what you want

 

[H]

more drazi than you can shake a stick at.... probably ;-)
will work on my fleet list soon

 

[Burger]

Oi, I'm king of the Drazi swarm fleet! Though I might bring my A-Team Artemis, too

drazi offer me the best initiative sinks though, whilst curiously at the same time, being extremely tough little patrol blighters. All good stuff!

I wouldn't call the Sunhawk or Eyehawk, extremely tough!

compare them to the brakiri patrol level ships. . .ahem....

Hey I'm not completely crazy - I contemplated taking the Milani carrier but couldn't bring myself to field the waste of space that is the Kotha

We of the Dilgar Imperium are not concerned about your petty squabbles concerning which of your pathetic ships are going to burn at our hands! :twisted:

Long Live the Imperium!

Well until 2232 anyway! :wink:
