well I was going to teach my 9 year old the game using just the core boxes set

what should I let him play Imperial or rebels.

I was thinking imperial thinking they are more forgiving on mistakes.

is that the way to go?

why not switch side after the first game?

_{why not switch side after the first game?}

_{yes I can do that but which is more forgivable Imperial or rebels}

_{I want him to have fun and not be upset if things don't go his way.}

_{so like to see him kill some ships that will make him happy.}

Imperial would be better. The Rebels, especially in the core box, are harder to use as a new player. Imperials are essentially 'front toward enemy' type of ships. Regardless of age, I've found Imperials easier for new players.

that is what I was thinking too.

I just wanted to see what others was thinking as well or if they see some I was not.

thanks

Definitely imperials.

As everyone has said...imperials are def easier to play in the tutorial game. The 3 by 3 playing space is perfect for that VSD front arc.
