Well, we're coming up on the second anniversary of X-Wing this summer. Time to take stock of what you have and what you still want to get. As for me, I am crazy about this game and have bought into every wave at the pre-order stage plus adding between waves. Thinking about my current fleets, I can only say I'm very glad to see these Epic play rules. So here's what I have/have pre-ordered: Rebels - 7x X-Wings - 4x Y-Wings - 4x A-Wings - 3x B-Wings - 1x HWK-290 - 2x YT-1300 - 3x GR-75 - 1x CR90 On the way: - 3x E-Wings - 5x Z-95s I intend to supplement this with three of the Rebel Aces packs as/when. I am also thinking of adding two more Y-Wings. Not sure about the HWK-290 and am sticking with one CR90 until the Imps get a huge ship. I will very likely get some more Z-95s eventually, as well. Imperials - 10x TIE Fighters - 2x TIE Advanced - 11x TIE Interceptors -- 5x Regular -- 3x Blood Striped -- 3x Royal Guard - 3x TIE Bombers - 2x Firespray-31 - 1x Lambda Shuttle On the way: - 2x TIE Defenders - 3x TIE Phantoms Another three-ship flight of TIE Bombers and one more TIE Defender are on my wish list but I otherwise pretty satisfied with this collection. At most, I might add another two TIE Fighters. I am really hoping FFG will announce an Imperial huge ship at Origns or GenCon.

You are! The secret goal of this thread was to get you post your inventory so I would feel better about mine. Search your feelings, you know it to be true. I bought one, read through the scenario that requires three and bought two more. Fortunately, there is no similar multi-corvette scenario with the CR90.

I'm going to send you the number of someone who can help.
Seriously, I can imagine having a 6 x 6 game sometime in the future if FFG gives us at least one huge Imperial ship.

Its a fluff thing, the (old, now defunct) expanded universe states that both the imperials and the rebels fielded starfighters in squadrons of 12, broken down into three flights of 4. I don't really intend on collecting a full squadron of any of the fighters, but I will collect flights of them.
I don't even play imperials lol, I fielded my imps once (and I only used interceptors/bombers), my usual opponents all play almost strictly imperial only so I'm usually a rebel.

In my case, I prefer the Imps, but thats because the only game I've ever actually won has been with them lol. Its super frustrating too, because I always start out absolutely dominating my opponent with rebels, and then by some mechanism things get turned around and I get caught on the back foot and can't recover.

Origins is next week! Also my vacation. Hadn't thought about them previewing anything there but now I'm hoping. Out of total curiosity, with the restrictions that are placed on how many ships you can take in epic play have you regretted/wish you hadn't bought/second guessed any of your inventory? Also curious why you'd want a second CR90, just for casual? I try to maximize the efficiency of what I can afford and store while still being a completionist so curious to understand the mindset is all. Here's mine after nine months, again trying to complete a collection while being able to support two players in standard play, quite satisfied:
<>REBEL ALLIANCE
5x X-wing [1 transport custom, was unexpected]
2x Y-wing
2x A-wing
2x B-wing
1x HWK-290
1x YT-1300
1x GR-75 Transport
>>>Projected
1x CR-90 Corvette
2x E-Wing
2x Z-95 (initially, two more expected at least)
2x Rebel Aces
1x YT-2400 (I can Dream)
<>IMPERIAL FORCES
8x TIE Fighters
6x TIE Interceptors (Includes two Imperial Aces)
2x TIE Bombers
1x TIE Advanced
1x Firespray-31
1x Lambda Class
>>>Projected
1x TIE Advanced
2x TIE Defender
2x TIE Phantom

Epic allows up to 12 of a single small type and 6 of a large ... so no regrets so far as I have not gone over caps. As to having >1 CR90, I plan to play X-Wing into my dotage and that means scenario and campaign play or yes I guess what is called "casual" play (as if competitive play was more "serious"  ).

Unfortunately I can't link the PinsofWar Comic here...but needless to say with a lot of us 'Mistakes were made.'
My signature says it all! Except the on order of:
(4) Z-95 Headhunters
(2) E-wings
(1) TIE Phantom
(2) TIE Defenders
I also have to concur with the prior sentiment of wanting to order certain ships in groups of 4 for a 'Flight', very rare ships in 'Elements' of 2...and the staple ships of at least 12. I also can't wait for more huge ships, love my CR90.
