I like X-Wings, and I'm bored with playing turret lists in the past. Just a friendly game against an unknown Imp list. Idea is to keep everyone close together, and let Biggs eat it while the others blast the Imps to bits! Simple plans are the best plans for me.

If you have enough T-70s you could do Biggs with R2 Astromech and IA escorting three Blue Squadron T-70s. That would leave 2 points open for whatever you want to do with them.

Only have the 1 from the new core set. I may buy another this weekend, but it'll be after this game is completed.

How about this for simple:

Biggs w/ hull upgrade = 28

Blue novice (T70) w/ R2-D2 = 28

2 rookies w/ R5 droids = 22 x 2

100

A classic:

Wedge w/ predator (or push the limit) + R2 = 33

Biggs = 25

2 rookies = 42

100

Another classic:

Luke w/ draw their fire & R2 D2 in place of Wedge in the above list

If you can get your hands on a bunch of new T70 expansions, I think this will be an interesting all x-wing list:

4 rookie pilots with targeting astromech, integrated astromech & flechette torpedoes = 25 x 4

what's cool about it is the stress dealing: woe to any opponent who tries to joust! On your k-turn, you get a target lock and can hit them with the flechette torpedo. You could double stress 4 seperate ships or triple stress 2 ships in one turn! Pretty easy to kill actionless enemies...
