initiative

By cubby09, in X-Wing Rules Questions

a bit confused on the rules for movement as it applies to initiative. so one team at 99 and another at 100. both squads have a pilot with skill 4. who moves first...and can you cite the page in the rulebook please?

The player with initiative will move (and fire) first. Playing by the core rulebook, that will be the player with the lowest point total when playing using the squad building rules (see pg 18, "Initiative When Squad Building"). If both players are tied, then the Imperial Player will have Initiative. However, when playing with tournament rules the "tie goes to Imperial" rule is replaced by a coin flip (pg 2 of tournament rules, Squad Deployment Procedure, step 4).
