what point value of games should we be playing? the single core set was scaled for 31 so... 60? 65?

I would probably aim for 50pts.

That is really up to you and your opponent. Typically, games are set at 100 points which is the normal game size for non-epic Tournament play. But with two Core sets, I'd suggest about a 55.. maybe 60 point game. That would give a bit more flexability for the Empire side and enough upgrade choices/combos for the Rebel X-Wings.

With just two Core sets I'd say you should shoot for 50-60 although 60 is pushing it for the TIE Fighters. The "minimums" are 42 points for two Rookie X-Wings and 48 for four Academy Pilots assuming you want to use everyone. The maximum points the Rebels could spend is 71 after loading up Luke and Biggs (including 8 points of ordnance) while the Empire could manage 69 points (no ordnance) although that includes "wasting" 6 points on less than amazing Elite Pilot Upgrades.

60 is pretty fair.

Lets you run Luke and Biggs with some upgrades v all the named TIES + an academy.
