Hey guys…been lurking on the forums for a while. I have just dove into both X-wing and the Star Wars LCG. All I can say is that I am in SW Heaven right now! Really enjoying both games!

So far with wave 2 I have bought 1 of each ship. I only really plan on getting one YT, but maybe one more Firespray. My real question lies in the A-Wing and Interceptor. From looking at the many Rebel lists floating around, I seem to need to get 2 maybe 3 more A-wings to have possiblities of an all A-wing force or atleast running 2.

I havent really seen many people talking about the Interceptor. Is it a ship I should look at getting more than 1 more of? It appears that while spamming Rebels (4 X-wings, 4 A-wings, and even the few 3 Y-wing lists have seemed viable) Imperials may be better more with a combined arms of all three current Tiefighters. I could be way wrong on that as I only have a few games under my belt.

My current list of ships include:

3 X-wings (Planning on getting a 4th)

3 Y-wings

1 A-Wing (Not sure how many to get)

1 YT

6 Tie Fighters

1 Tie Advance

1 Tie Interceptor (Not sure how many to get)

1 Firespray (Planning on 1 more)

Where could I beef out my ship collection?

One more question off topic…with wave 2 are tournaments and local players going to up the points to 150 or 161 like I have seen floating around, or are they staying at 100pts?

Thanks for all your help!

The updated tournament rules were just released, even though they are dated 2/15/13. They still state "the maximum squad points for each player is 100 points. A squad cannot exceed 100 points, though it may contain fewer than 100 points."

That said, if you want to run more than 1 Falcon/Firespray/Interceptor/Avenger/A-Wing, I would buy more of those. Also, if you want a build with specific cards (like a few Push The Limit), I would get the sets they come with. I made a reference on the A Few Manuvers forum that I use to play out purchases around upgrade cards (Link) .

If the 100 point squads you're looking to run can be built with the ships and cards you have, then just keep what you've got for tournaments.

Or go balls to the wall and pick up 2 more of the above mentioned sets for a good 300-400 point battle, and take plenty of pictures.

I've seen some interesting discussion of a 2 bounty hunter build, so that might be worth getting 2 firesprays for. I would definately do a game or two using the falcon as a proxy for the second firespray before I bought a second one without a plan to use it though.

For Interceptor discussion, go here:

I would recommend having 3 each of Awing and Interceptor.

Cool. It sounds like maybe 2 more A-wings, 2 more Interceptors, 1 more Firespray, and 1 more X-wing might be good to get. Kinda on the fence for a Tie Advance. Seems like they are only ever used for Vader and if not for him the points are better spent on a regular Tie or Tie/In.

Thanks for the quick comments!
