What is the initiative bid in your meta?

By Sixter, in X-Wing

There's been a few 96 point fennaroo lists around here (NYC) recently.

I have seen a lot of 99, with people who rely on that bid going to 98.

I run 97 on my Ketsu/Teroch list. Both have VI. I've gotten the bid all but once. The only room for more points on that build is to add BMST on Ketsu, and it's not really worth it to me, so I keep the high bid.

We never really pay attention to that...

97.

I have ran into a few 92 point lists. But if you really want it I would say aim for 97 points.

I rarely see less than 98.

In my local group we have agreed to roll the dice, so initiative is always random. We all get to play 100 point squads this way.

But why? It's part of the game, and an interesting one at that. It's still a 100pt squad, you're just spending some points on getting a positional advantage, which is really useful for some squads.

Mainly because we want to add a random aspect to the game: you can´t ever play safe with PS, even if you have top pilots. It´s a gamble, sure, but everybody has been satisfied with it.
