Ships is a vital part of this game.
My current matchup, we shall see how things roll. We both are sitting at 2.1mil gp, and this is the worse I've been out matched (he has 19 g12 vs my 11 g12, his jkr is like much faster than mine). But for some strange reason, he doesn't have thrawn, and his ships are gawd awful. So I don't see how he's taking out my 7*, g12 zeta'd hounds tooth, so I set that on defense, made a least a challenge for him on squads defense, but saved my big teams for offense, my jkr team should be able to beat his or at least cripple it if I play it correctly, so we shall see how it plays out and if I can manage a victory. If I clear his fleet (which I should with what I saved plus my thrawn capital ship) and most if not all his squads, I should be in business
