I flew an XWing

I still fly X-wings.

Giving range bonuses vs secondary wrapons. Always wondered why people thought TLTs were good.

Ha - I'm still learning after playing this game for 4+ years...

I added to the Shuttle Tydirium Ep 45 Deadeye fiasco by reverting back to my early days when I thought all Attack [Target Lock] and Attack [Focus] headers required you to expend the named token. That proved too much of a distraction to the others and the rest is recorded history...

Aiming my movement at where they are, not where they're going...

This is a good one, does it happen a lot with new players you think?

I thought bumping into asteroids was like bumping ships. You just stopped against the side of it, right?

Canceling crits before hits, flying off the board, and taking actions after everyone had already moved. Looking back at the original rule book, I can see why we got confused.

My Awings three green dice should protect me from those TIE fighters, right?

I had some trouble with some of the trigger timing windows early on but there hasn't been too much I was too far off the map with. Epic took some learning though...

Thinking I could barrel roll to touching to stop getting shot at by that ship.

I physically cringed during that segment.

The first game I played was with my 10 yr old son. I gave him the red dice to use for the game. I used the green dice for ALL my rolls. It was not till later I figured out why I could not land any hits on his ships :|

That asteroids were not really that significant to gameplay. We never bothered to put them on the table. Every game turned into a Braveheart-style charge.

The first time we used them, we were OMG THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!!

Never had problems with rules themselves, but I used to overestimate the power of unmodified Green dice.

Biggest blunder though, was thinking too much about having great position for shooting on current round, not so much about how will that set my flight path for the following one.

.Since I'm rubbish at predicting where my opponent's ships are going, I still do it.

I was constantly forgetting to take my actions.

I also had this odd idea that e'tahn abat's special only applied to himself, instead of any friendly in his arc.

What do you mean, "were" learning? I started playing at release and haven't stopped learning ever since...

Currently, I mostly mess up target priorities.

Along with my first Core Set, I purchased Rebel Aces. Getting ready for my first game right there in the store, I assembled the dials incorrectly, and had no idea anything was wrong. I was well into my second game before anyone noticed my B-Wing zipping all over the place, and my A-Wing playing the slow and tight knife-fighter...

Haha, I have been terrified of doing that. Unless I just bought multiples of the same ship, I never opened the next ship until I had the dial assembled.

Took some games with my children until I realised that you when you do a barrel roll you do not have to be exactly parallel, but might slide forward or backward.

Mistake like not using that Predator you put on Rex during multiple battles?

Don't get me started on Intel Agent...

You still DO need to be on parallel courses. It's just that your roll doesn't need to end up perfectly perpendicular to from one course to the next.

I thought that you could only take TLs on ships in arc. I don't think this would be bad thing anyway

Same!

I thought spending a focus or evade only changed one die.

I was doing this until last week, having played about 10 games.

Also cancelling critical hits before normal ones.

When we first played we thought only the speed and shape of a move was on the dial and you could select the direction when revealing it. Who knows why!

Choosing the wrong direction of course too, now I hold the dial in my hand so it matches the ship position!

Hopefully I'm out of awful mistakes now.

That's not a bad idea if you're teaching the game to someone who has NEVER played X-wing using a couple Core Sets, and a few extra ships to round them out.

Oh I made so many mistakes to start.

I did the "everyone maneuver" then "everyone action"

i did the crits don't count as hulk damage. That 12 damage card night beast was crazy.

My first tournament list was ridiculously bad. This was wave 3.

Cluster missle engine upgrade vader

krassis with ion cannon

2 academy pilots.

If everything hit, it maxed out at 7 damage.

Went 0-100 loss to a top 50 player at worlds (since)

managed to just get Biggs in the second game.

Flew the firespray off the board in the last.
