Hey all,

I played my very first game of X wing ever last night. I met my good friend expecting to play a 50 pt game to learn with. Well he just got a decimated so 100pts was decided. Lucky for me I had a Firespray and Most Wanted.

Since those 2 expansions and the core rules are all I had my upgrade choices were limited. I came up with the following list:

Boba Fett + unhinged+ Greedo+ stealth device+ marksmanship+ ion cannon

Hired Thug + VI + Agromech+ autoblaster turret

2x Black Sun Soldiers

I actually did really well against his decimator with Chirneau and 2 interceptor aces ( a ps 7 and. Ps 5). I took out the 7 ace quickly before losing 1 z95. I had the decimated down to half hull points when I miss judged a K turn with Boba and left the table edge. We decided he had better things to do than fight decimators. I was obviously out matched at that point but did do another point of damage to the decimated and the interceptor before dung heroically.

Now a question, obviously I just took what I could but given the expansions I have what would have been some better choices? I also added 2 Scyks to the squadron just before the game too. I have another Y wing and a HWK on order as well. Also, what are warthog Y wings?

Thanks for any advice!

A warthog Y is basically the following;

Thanks, Heavyguard!

Anyone else have any suggestions on better upgrades or pilots? We will be having a rematch soon.

Ok first at all Boba can't take droids slot He can take crew slot only. (you read "unhinged" as boba fett upgrades)

Then Greedo is dangerous crew. For you too, so my changes:

Kath Scarlet+Heavy Laser Cannon+Push the Limit+K4

Kavil+Blaster Turret+Agromech

Suhlak+Lone Wolf

I think is very simple and effective list

You're right I thought he could take a droid! I knew there would be mistakes with my first game. Also I don't have access to PTL or Lonewolf currently. As I said what I have is what I have.

Having the 2 generic black sun Z95s worked out much better for me than having just three ships on three ships. Really up until I messed up the K turn with Boba Fett I was doing well. I had taken one interceptor and only lost one headhunter. I had the decimation down to half his points left and only needed one more shot to land to take the second interceptor.

What is "dangerous crew"?

Because Greedo's ability affects both the ship he's on and the defending ship. The ship with Greedo crew would also flip up the first damage card it receives even if it wasn't a crit. If you have no shields, then you just got screwed by Greedo.

My HWK and second Y wing arrived today. Opens up more options for me! Tips always welcomed!
