The Destruction of Phoenix Group

I got to play my first full-scale game of Star Wars Armada a few nights ago and met up one again with my friend Kevin.  I decided to put together a themed Rebel force, Phoenix Group from Rebels.

My fleet consisted of:

Pelta-class Command Ship

    -Phoenix Home

    -Commander Sato

    -Flight Commander

    -Shields to Maximum!

CR90a Corvette

CR90a Corvette

CR90b Corvette

    -Jaina's Light

    -Toryn Farr

    -High-Capacity Ion Turbines

Hammerhead-class Torpedo Corvette

    -Assault Proton Torpedoes

Hammerhead-class Torpedo Corvette

    -Assault Proton Torpedoes

Hera Syndulla (VCX-100)

A-wing Squadron

A-wing Squadron

Y-wing Squadron

Y-wing Squadron

Kevin had an Imperial-class Star Destroyer, Arquitens-class Light Cruiser, two Raider-class Corvettes, several squadrons of TIE Defenders, a pair of TIE Interceptor squadrons, and even more squadrons of TIE Fighters.  We didn't play a scenario.

My corvettes and A-wings move to engage Kevin's TIE swarm.

A pair of CR90s have battered Kevin's Raider, but it holds fast.  So far the A-wings ae holding their own against superior numbers.

With the fighters all engaged, my corvettes have a three-to-one advantage against Kevin's light cruiser, but it would be short-lived.

The Star Destroyer quickly makes it's presence felt, driving right through the heart of my fleet, and quickly turns the tide of the battle to the Imperial side.

Once that Star Destroyer got into range it was all over.  It quickly dispatched two of my corvettes and my command ship, while the TIE's numerical superiority won the fighter battle.  Two CR90s, a Hammerhead, and a single squadron of Y-wings would escape the Imperial Fleet, while only a few squadrons of TIEs would be lost by the Empire.
