Vassal Corellian Conflict: Campaign blog, part 5 (round 2)

Imperial flags reign across the galaxy

Round 1 has been completed and all the bookkeeping done. Rebels have gained a presence on Raider's Point, earning them a 2nd spynet token. If it's an outpost Rebel resources are at 157 for round 2, or 182 if it's a base. Assuming no bases are lost oc!

The Empire has built 2 bases, bringing us up to six bases total, just 1 shy of our maximum! Even with Forvand being such a crappy place in terms of resources, we're still at 231. That's a massive 77 resources per player. Again assuming no lost bases.

This is the first round special assaults can be declared, so I'm guessing we'll see at least 1. Note that we're using (house rule) the Show of Force scenario for BOTH factions. Also, no bases/outposts can be built after special assault.

Imperial Fleets r2

Broba

Sloane lost too many unique squads last round. So as to be able to grow the fleet, Broba has opted NOT to refit the scarred Raider, wasting some refit pts in the process (they don't carry over). He's picked up a generic Phantom, bringing his squads to 8, an even number. Two squads have become vets; Whisper and Mauler. He's also added some key upgrades to his ships. The Quasar in particular should be much more efficient as a carrier now.

Greenie

The loss of 2 Raiders cost me 46 refit. Since I was also building a base I skipped refitting the scarred Lambda, leaving me with 39 resources to buy stuff with. Enough to get Tua + ECM (I wanted to try EWS, but with MC30s and H1 running around...) for the Cymoon, bling for Demo, DCaps and OE. 

I'm a little light on the squads, but you can't have everything! Assuming I get to grow some for round 3 I'm definitely taking more squads. There is also room for more stuff on the flagship, so I'll have to balance those two needs.

Rebel Fleets r2

Tokra

Ackbar picks up another CR90, which isn't surprising. He picks up Strat Adviser. Entirely reasonable, as 4 activations is a bit light. But this probably forces Sloane to do the same next round. Oh well. He's short on points, maybe having built a base at Raider's Point, so a TRC moved from MC30 to CR90. This fleets makes me want to take Early Warning System...except stupid Jaina...and Home One :-D

Dr Alex

Mothma refits all her scarred ships, then adds titles to 2 MC30s. At this point this fleet looks a little weak. Dr Alex should probably be a little careful this round. But not sure that's in character for him :-)

Darth Veggie

Veggie didn't take much damage in r1, and didn't build any bases, so his fleet has grown quite a bit. He's gone the WAB route, so with them backing up his beefy squads (Ketsu added too) he has a credible means to defend against Sloane. DCO on the MC75 could save a TON of APT crits! Good call there Veggie!
