So I think it is safe to say that we all like to build new lists. For Dystopian Wars I only have two fleets, a fully painted American fleet (which looks god awful), and a French fleet that is half painted. The first half looks awful, but I have some frigates which do sport a relatively nice color scheme. With the new boxes coming out, I must admit I've set my sights on rebuilding my 1250 point French fleet from the ground up. So for my fleet commodore's vessel, I think I'll take one experimental La Rochelle class battleship, with a cloud generator. This will also allow me to grab the heroic fleet commodore Jean-Claude Geroux. Since he is big on the French Revolution, I am going to call the battleship De la Glorieuse Revolution, or "The Glorious Revolution". The battleship with the heroic fleet commodore is a bit pricy, with the total coming out to 200 points, but a La Rochelle class battleship seems quite powerful, and I would be confident to fight a dreadnought with it. I will also bring a Mk I Magenta battleship. While the La Rochelle is powerful, it's arment is mostly heat lances and lancettes, which are great against larges but not so good against mediums or smalls. For 150 points the Mk I Magenta can deal with most of the enemy mediums quite nicely, but we will add the cloud gen for 10 points. I feel its a solid investment. Its name shall be La Fierté de la Révolution, or the pride of the revolution. It could be Jean-Claude's old command ship! We now have 360 points worth of models, all larges.
I want to grab one last large for our fleet, and that's a Couronne class battle carrier (called L'esprit de la Révolution). This gives us a way to gas up our tiny fliers, and also adds rockets and another heat lance to the fleet. It costs 140 points, but I am going to add the cloud gen to bring to 150 points even. That means that our larges will be 510 points of our fleet! Not bad so far!
Now for mediums. First off I am going to take 2 squadrons of Cherbourg class battlecruisers. Each squadron costs 130 points and contains one battlecruiser, but with three heat lancettes each of these can easily devastate a battleship. Despite this, they are glass cannons, so I will probably have to use them carefully. I am sure my opponents will learn to hate them very quickly! They will be called Cracheuse de Incendie and L'œil de Feu. That brings me to 770 points. Not many left now! For my other mediums I will grab a squadron of Ecuyer class support cruisers. These will be a great way to deal with flyers and planes, but also can deal with smalls. I will probably not name these. Three models at 55 points each give me another 165 points. I am now at 935 points!
On to my smalls. First off we need 4 Reguin assault corvettes, for 20 points each. Then a squadron of three Epaulard bombard subs, at 35 points each. We are now at 1120! And so, to bring us to a total of 1250, I am going to take 2 Furieux skyships. These can spot for our Epaulards, plus they have some great mines. I will have no trouble using them. So there we are, 1250 points of French awesomeness. So now, what does our shopping list look like. We need the Attack Flotilla, Carrier Support Flotilla, Extra Tiny Fliers, Mk 1 Magenta, Furieux Skyships, and Ecuyer Support cruisers. All of this can be found at the Warstore for $133.94. Sigh... maybe for Christmas. Anyway, I hope you have enjoyed this list build, cause I know I have!
