Hello everyone,

I am new to playing X-Wing Minatures and I don't know if I missed a topic on this issue but, just wondering what is a common build point team to start for beginners?

First, welcome to the forums. You have made a wise choice in picking up X-Wing. You can start at just about any point level. 100 pts is commonly played as it meets the requirement for tournament play. Just for getting the hang of it, you could start between 30-60 points.

I think running the recommended 31 point setups found in the core set is perfect. Step it up from there with 50, 60, and 75 point squads. 2-4 games in and you'll be fine to try 100 points games.

A small note: I I'm told that most people find a 55 point game to be more balanced than a 50 or 60 point game.

I'm a fan of the secret plans:

24 to 50 is good for beginners. Still great games.

A favorite of mine to learning to fly better is 24 Pts. Typically 2 ties or 2 Zs in any combination. Or an X with hull. Or Hwk with ICT and moldy crow.

Flying 2 ties vs 2 ties is really really good movement practice.

All great info thanks everyone
