    The Chimera should have been in your list if you were making an Endor fleet. Thrawn wasn't there, but in the first few pages of Heir to the Empire, Paelleon reminisces about his own role at that battle and how he assumed command when the former captain was killed. No big, though.

    I think I appreciate the sped up camera rather than the fade to black and round recaps. If we miss something we can always just rewind. This was one of the more enjoyable battle reps, which is meant as a compliment since I enjoy all of them anyway.

    It’s extremely difficult for a rebel player to win in these scenarios (especially on a map this size) because they will spend most of their time exposed to the front arcs of ships that are designed to decimate things that are in their front arcs. Above a certain point value, the Empire can field a substantial number of ships that have a lot of hull and can cover the flanks of other ships with the front arcs, preventing the more nimble rebel ships from exploiting their advantage. Their ships cannot repel firepower of that magnitude.

So my final thoughts would be to upload two videos, the first would be just the raw steam of gameplay, and the second would be exactly like this one 😇. At any rate I appreciate your ability and time.

    Everyone I see in the comments loves squadrons and would even love seeing more. Everyone I play with loves squadrons. Empire squadrons can be incredibly deadly to both ship and squadron... The quasar is not a weapons platform, but a squadron support platform. It would REALLY impress you with tie fighters and rhymer bubbled around it. I don’t understand your hate for squadrons and need to constantly remind us...

    Yes this was a great battle. I don't find the SSD as compelling to watch in BR as it is just so big and really seems to remove a lot of the strategy. I know it doesn't but it just FEELS like it does. It would be really fun to see an 800-1000 Sector Fleet Battle between a classic 'Rebel' Fleet vs a Classic 'Empire' one. Ie maybe the rebels only have one or maybe two big ships, lots of mid ships and a full quarter of points for squadrons but most of them Aces, and the Empire has Lots of Star Destoryers, and numerically a huge number of Ties but not that many aces. And also no Tie Defenders or 'werid' ships! Just an idea!

    Hmm. Interesting POV on the "fighters slow the game down" thing. On the one hand it really wouldn't feel like SW without swarms of them, but OTOH they do seem to take a lot of time for their actual impact on the game. Have you ever tracked how much damage is coming from fighters versus ship guns in your games relative to the costs for each? I've played a lot of different rules over the years and the Armada approach of really needing your ships providing command control to get good use out of fighters seems like a clever innovation. Maybe the real problem is the level of detail on the fighters themselves? I can't think of any capital ship rules where the small craft aren't much, much more abstracted than here.
