If you don't use them, you effectively just overpaid for a GR75 by 5 points. Blocking in ships when absolutely necessary by getting in the way.įor such a low cost, a Gozanti can do a lot of things! The trick with the Gozanti compared to its cheaper Rebel counterpart, the GR75, is that you're paying extra points for anti-ship dice.Assisting friendly ships against enemy ships with its anti-ship attacks.Assisting friendly squadrons against enemy squadrons with its flak.Commanding a small number of squadrons at a very affordable price at a moment's notice due to Command 1.Assisting the fleet with its fleet support upgrade.Providing an extra activation for cheap.These include but are not strictly limited to:

Keep these restrictions in mind throughout the article - flotillas are useful as support ships but you can't bring enough of them to really carry a fleet.Īs a flotilla, the Gozanti has a lot of small jobs it can do. The final two rules technically only apply in tournament games, but it's been my experience that most players in casual games assume that tournament rules and restrictions apply to pick-up games unless the players involve agree otherwise beforehand. If one fleet has all of its non-flotilla ships destroyed, that player loses at the end of the round.You cannot have more than 2 flotillas in a fleet.Commanders cannot use flotillas as flagships.When a flotilla overlaps or is overlapped by another ship, the other ship only takes a facedown damage card if it is also a flotilla.Let's talk about flotilla special rules before we get any furtherįlotillas have 4 special rules that apply only to them: The defining traits of the Gozanti, just like the Rebel GR-75, are they are extremely cheap, they're very cost-effective at commanding squadrons (although only a base value of 2), and they come with a scatter defense token, which is a big part of keeping them alive - their low shields and hull aren't going to do much for them in a serious fight. The cheaper Gozanti-Class Cruisers are widely considered the "default" Gozanti, so I'll mostly be referencing them when I use the term "Gozanti."įlotillas are largely defined around their fleet support upgrades, which I've posted about today as a companion article. We'll talk a bit more about them later, but most advice that can go for one can apply to another. The only real differences between the two Gozanti variants are the Assault Carriers upgrade their flak to a blue die and their front arc to a red die compared to the basic Gozanti-Class Cruisers.
