Hi, I'm a newbie player, I need advice for two 300pt fleets.

Next saturday I will play my first game with a friend (he is newbie too).

I own everything up to wave 4, can you suggest me a Rebel and an Imperial fleet for our first game?

Thanks

Overall, keep it simple. Only one or two upgrades per ship, if that. Consider those officers that let you change commands. Avoid ship titles as they often complicate things and sometimes change essential rules. Use mostly generic squadrons with only one or two aces.

Here are a pair of lists I made up rather quick which should meet your requirements. I'm not saying they're great, but I was aiming for them to be simple enough while engaging with some basic concepts and still being fun.

You're welcome. I felt bad that the Imperials didn't have a bomber fleet to try, too, so here's another pair. Now you have enough beginner lists that you can experiment with different matchups. Some of these lists will work better against others.
