Biggs Hot(ish) Take - Wave 7 Reveal

Truthiness is writing up his own Wave 7 article, but I want to do my own.  Plus he is coming at it from a different angle than I am.

Let's look at the fun!

Corellian Conflict: Fleet Roles

I'm badly late on this article. Work has taken a lot out of me of late. Unfortunately that's not likely to change in the near future. But in any case, let's talk briefly about how to approach building fleets as a team in Corellian Conflict. There are three general roles I feel you need to cover to be successful.

Phase 3 - Maneuver: Getting There the Fastest with the Mostest

It's time to actually "play" the game you've spent so much time setting up.  Here is where we attempt to either recover from a bad deployment, or push our advantage to the maximum.  I have seen a lot of games won and lost in deployment, but this is the phase that really determines who will win the Skirmish and the actual Engagement.

3)  Maneuver - This phase begins at the start of Turn 1's ship phase, and continues until the first dice are rolled.  This is the part where you position your fleet to get the most advantage during the engagement, and make up for bad positioning from the Deployment Phase.

Key Advantages for this Phase:  Navigate Commands, High Speed / Yaw ships, Maneuver Upgrades.
