So,

I have my first friendly tourney this weekend with the new ships (also my first games with them). I have narrowed my choice down to two lists, one Imperial and one Rebel.

Both lists are flexible in how I can approach the games, but both are very different in style.

I am not looking for advice on changing the list set up, but I am curious as to which list people would use of the two under consideration.

I say 2nd list...a Rebel forward facing gunline should be pretty awesome and new to fly.....who know's how it will do but will be fun to find out

I think your imperial list will be the more flexible one...but it will take more thinking to use well. The rebel list is brutal and direct, but also quite fragile...

I'd take the Imperial list.

It sounds like most folk there will be flying the MC80 2 Neb style lists, so you might want to go Imp simply for variety.

I did something along the line of the rebal fleet. Had spinal turret on neb b vs x17. Also had fighter control team. And two b wing. The two neb let the bwing move up to four a round

The problem is the mon cal seems to lack some fire power i the front arc
