I have played X-wing only very casually at home and using the scenarios that come with the expansions, but recently I started to participate in local tournaments. I still find myself making rookie mistakes however by making or copying strong lists with plenty of hit points I have managed to finish on the top 6 players. I don't believe it has been much skill but more luck than anything else.

I have an epic tournament coming up so I would like to know from more experience players what lists do they run? I played 40K for many years and I always recommended space marines to new comers to the game because even when they knew little about the game or had very little experience,space marines will be good enough to withstand any mistakes you make while playing. In other words you had a better chance to put up a fight even with your lack of experience do to their well roundness and high stats.

So, I ask is there such a list that does the same in X-wing??

I have use the Chewie-3po combo and that always seems to work, but what builds; specially for an epic game are like that??? Is maneuverability better than a ship that can take a lot of hit points? Do you go for one over the other or a combination of both?

One thing about Epic games is that you can do sooo much more than 100 point games, especially with Rebels. The biggest piece of advice about playing either of the factions is how their ships sort of work.

With Rebels its all about having ships that work together and support each other well, with Imperials its more about the individual ships, though they are still capable of supporting each other its not as frequent as rebels. Also rebels have shields on all of their ships.

And my CR90 thread in the battle reports section? They are long, but I think they are worth the read. I would advise Imperials, but I'm biased.

Look for Hothie's CR90 thread in the Battle Report section.

I always keep Roak with the corvette so he shoots first and keep pointing the corvette into the attack and hope to run some over. When you get your quads all charded up dont shoot agian if you miss (unless you know you will finish of a ship) save the energy for the next round when you can get a target lock. use all the other ships to cover the back of the corvette becouse once its gone it wont last long

and try not to runover your own ships like i do

How do you set up the CR-90 and how do approach the enemy?
