I am new to X-wings, I only played against myself till now but I will doing a first tournament soon with 100 pts. But I need some suggestions for a good list of 100 pts not to complex to the rules. I have the following:

rebels: 3 X wings, 1 Y wing, 2 A-wings and millenium falcon

imperial: 5 Tie, 2, Tie advanced, 2 Tie Interceptors, Slave 1

Are the rules for Millenium Falcon and Slave 1 complex for beginners? I haven't really tried them yet. I think I like toplay without The Falcn and Slave 1 for a starter, unless someone confince me here. So please help me out with some good 100pts build for rebels and imperial so I can play with a good squad on my first game against others.

Cheers Kris

You can't go wrong with a Falcon and two X-wings.

The large ships behave much like any other ship but are able to take more skills/pilots/weapons, making them more versatile. More shields and hull points make sure they stay around longer to make up for their points cost. The big difference is the handling, mainly due to the larger base, which takes a while to get used to if you've only played with regular ships. If I were you I'd start using them since you're going to face them sooner or later.

The Falcon is extremely forgiving for newbies thanks to its 360 degree fire arc, Xwings are an excellent backup hitting a sweet spot of good damage, toughness and manoeuvrability. Don't think that you'll do much better than Picasso's recommendation!

Thanks CommuterZombie.
