When Imperial 100 vs Imperial duke it out, how do you determine init?
Who has init?
Roll a die for it?
You have to have a fist fight with your opponent. Marquis of Queensbury rules. Winner gets initiative, and gets to take home all the models regardless of who they belonged to before the match.
In big bold type on page 7 it say's the Imperial player goes first.
Major, this is a case where it is Imp v Imp.
Coin flip (which I think is actually how init is determined for ties even for Rebel vs Imp in tournaments).
Then I would say whomever has the highest agility, if thats equal then I would guess lowest pilot skill goes first, if not that then each roll an attack dice - first to roll a hit has initiative. If there is a tie - re-roll until result achieved.

How would you use agility as a house-ruled initiative determining factor? An entire side has initiative, not a ship.
dbmeboy is correct. Official tournament rules say that it is a coin flip no matter what faction you are.

Those aren't tournament rules. The tournament rules say to just flip a coin. Everyone I play with just uses the tournament rules all the time (apart from time limits or anything like that).
Player with higher agility goes first

~Do you set up an obstacle course to determine this?
I don't understand how you can use a per-ship statistic to determine which player goes first.
Exactly. You got it. Something not unlike wipe-out or american gladiators. Before the game. Sort of a prelim to determine which player has the highest agility.
EDIT: I think I have to include
for clarity.
I'm partial to Ninja Warrior, myself.
I prefer Wipe-out. Much more humiliation and degradation.
Radiskull totally ninja warriored this post! lol.
but NFL does the coin flip so I dont see why thats not a good way to go., and anyway, like all games, I want to play the tourney rules!. otherwise it seems a little…I dunno lame. Tournament rules a great because they have already de facto'd FAQ'd the thing out a little…many of the conflicts are decided upon. and if you ever go to a sanctioned event or game night, most people will be on board with the format.
