1st Tournament Build?

By darkevans, in X-Wing Battle Reports

Playing in my first tournament this weekend and I need some help with my builds. I need some help mostly with rebel builds. I've been playing casually for a while but my problem is i try to fly something new each time. I've got a solid collection so any help would be appreciated.

For my Imperial Build I have:

Bounty Hunter:

HLC

Recon Specialist

Omicron:

Heavy Laser Cannon

Engine Upgrade

Capt. Jonus:

Squad Leader

99 points

For Rebel i was thinking close to the same:

Blue Squadron

Advanced Sensors

HLC

Blue Squadron

Advanced Sensors

HLC

Luke

R2D2

Draw Their Fire

Hull Upgrade

100 points.

Any critique would be appreciated. Any other rebel lists would be appreciated as well.

I think the Rebel build is very solid, especially for a first tournament list. Only 3 dials (two are the same), not a lot of upgrades to track, and stuff tend to 'activate' automatically. Just note that you probably won't get a lot of milage out of the HLCs. Most lists will try to close on you, and the Blues aren't quick enough to get out to R2-R3 easily (the 2-K turn specifically often leaves you at R1). But they are still solid. Also that list is easier to fly than the Imperial list (weird dials, big and small ships, and you need to keep them together without hitting rocks). Have a go with the Rebel list and let us know how it goes!
