Newbie cobbling together a squad

By DarwinGreen5, in X-Wing

hey, I've finally started making some headway in generating interest in my neck of the woods. So far I've only done small demo games starter set up to 50pt games.

so, I'm looking for some advice for solid squads with what I have at the moment.

Rebel

3 X-wings

1 B-Wing

Imperial

4 Tie-fighter(all four from the starter set)

1 Tie-Advanced

2 Tie-bombers

Are you looking for a 100pt squad?

You could run

2 x Gamma Bombers + Seismics

Howlrunner

3 x Black Squad Ties

or

Wedge

Biggs

Rookie Xwing

Blue Squad Bwing

hey thanks for the replies, I'll have to give those a shot.

Not too sure on how to run the bombers, but I'll try to figure something out with them.

Howlrunner doesn't come in the core set. You'll need the TIE fighterr expansion for her.

crap, that's how they get you.

For demo purposes and non-competitive purposes, I would go with Darth Vader and some Black Squadron Pilots, maybe a Bomber in there if you have the points.

For the Rebels you can always go the icon Three Amigos of Wedge, Luke with R2D2, and Biggs!

Howlrunner is the best TIE pilot hands down. Her ability grants every ship in range 1 of her Target Lock-lite and is an auto-include with any TIE swarm.

Good catch!

As for running the bombers...You want them to enter the fray in such a way that they can drop their bombs without hitting your own guys. I would stagger them, one center, one off to the side and bring them in slowly.

so, how about equipping them as missile platforms? I have access to proton torpedoes and concussion missiles.
