New to X-wing - Getting started on the 'Right Foot'

By Black Griffon 1, in X-Wing Off-Topic

Hello Forum Members,

I just picked up the X-wing core set (original) yesterday with an x-wing T-65 expansion Booster. I am currently reading the main rule book and was wondering from the vet pilots out there is it better to start out with small flights? 1 or 2 ships to start with and work your way up... Pitfalls I would like to avoid if necessary, common mistakes that sort of thing when getting started. I look forward to being on these forums and hoping to call some you comrades in our up-coming battles. I love to paint miniatures so will probably be re-painting my ships to my own design. I would love to hear how long some of you been playing and what factions you like and why. I really like to get to know the player base and future adversaries out there... *insert evil laugh here* :D
