Hey guys! Ever since the Rona outbreak I kind of put Armada on the back burner since there could be no in person games to play. Now that we are on the downside of it, I am getting the itch again. I still have put my orders in for the new ships and have started list building again. Question for the forum: With the new releases of ships for the Republic and Separatists, are the Clone War factions strong enough to hold up against Rebel and Imperial builds? I think tournament Armada with the choice of all 4 factions is very juicy. What do you think?

I just feel like GAR is going to rarely see anything other than Venators and corvettes. When list building I'm looking at the Pelta and Acclimator like, "why bother?"
Truthiness has already won an in-person tournament. Roald managed 6th place I think with just Wave 9 CIS at the Vassal World Cup. CIS is solidly competing with the other factions.
I'm not sure if GAR has the same success rate at tournaments, but their stuff has only just arrived so we'll see soon. I think they look solid but I just haven't tried them yet.
I'd say the current options look pretty solid. Both the GAR and Seperatists are a bit limited on the types of fleets they can field (MSU with Hardcells doesn't look like a great idea to me...). Thought the Rebels don't have all that many winning archetypes either. 😥
I cant speak for the GAR but at the moment I’m finding it hard to put down any other fleet on the table unless it’s a Separatist one. Obviously there is a limit to the new stuff in ships and faction specific upgrades but I’d be confident heading into a tournament with my selection from the ships I have (Core, Provident, two Recusants and two Sqn packs).
