I've played maybe 10 games in the year I've owned X-Wing models; most of those have been in the last month.
I started with an ambition to play Empire ships, but...
Rolling 3 evade dice is something that makes me crazy. And not in a 'oh isn't that a misery we all share' kind of way - it did and does make me want to quit playing. And I do not like the sportsmanship I devolve into when I whiff on 3-dice. I honestly would not have wanted to play me when I get like that.
So stepping back from the noose I strung from the banister, I've decided to try some lists that A) focus on shields versus agility, and B) put the offense right out front for me. The thought is that statistically evade dice hate my humanity, apparently I can't fly well or with tactical awareness, and also that most players around here are going 'fat-large.' They too are inexperienced; I obviously can't beat them, so I'm going to try joining them.
My first list designed along these lines is a K-Wing centered list, because I think K-Wings are perhaps the sexiest looking ship in the game. Add a B-Wing. And finish it off with an X-Wing.
Miranda Doni
TLT
Lando Calrissian (because I wan't to channel the Klumps, if you know the reference)
Keyan Farlander
PTL
B-Wing/E2
Jan Ors
Garven Dreis
R2 Astro
At worst, it should be interesting and last longer than the 2 shooting phases of my last 2 games. (Seriously, that happened)
