Played my first game against the super dash yesterday and I must say it was a beast.

I ran kath scarlet, lone wolf, rebel captive

3x scimitar with proximity mines.

It was a close game but due to my friend using the super dash how he was ment and my getting to grips with a new list and dealing with the super dash for the first time I had a narrow loss.

This brings me to the point of my story. I found that dash and his ability to be so user friendly that my friend who don't get to many games in was dominating the game. It realy was a great game as I have played far more than my mate and don't like to be the one who wins all the time. My mate also had a ball and I realised that giving the super dash as a starting point and let them fill in the rest of the list with a few tips as to what might be strong against what I am going to fly, is a great way to learn how to fly a new list. I don't get to play too often my self as I work nights so I try to get games when ever I can. I also like to try different lists out and try to come up with anti-meta lists.

So I was wondering if any of you fellow x wing gamers get games in like this to learn the ropes against top lists with odd ball lists. Give friends who play but not tournament players, powerfull list to play agianst you and tell them the tricks on how the list works so you can learn from the beatings you get ?

Yeah I usually give new players biggs walks the dogs or something like that.

I think if both players are fairly new or not very competitive then Dash can really decide the game. At higher levels of play the gap narrows.

I let a brand-new player run Dash/Corran last weekend and he crushed my "let's try bombers and Vader" list.

I usually teach the game with xwings vs ties, one 'character' each and minimal upgrades.

Yeah my mates been playing for a few months but nothing serious, I had never played with bombers before so it helped me learn fast what a powerhouse like dash could do

I personally don't think turrets are a good teaching tool. It's like learning in an automatic car.
