Hey, got a game this week and since i only own 4 rebel ships i'm going to try to field them all in a 100 point game.

This will be my first competetive game against an opponent who is fairly new to the game as well.

So heres the list.

Grey Squadron Pilot - Y-Wing
R2D2
Proton Torpedos
Ion Cannon Turret

Green Squad Pilot - A-Wing
Concussion Missiles

2 x Rookie Pilots - X-Wing with R5 atromech each

Thats 100 points on the nose.

The plan is for the Y-Wing to pick off a target each turn and support will be from the X-Wings, the A-Wing i plan on getting close enough to any named pilot on the opposing side and taking them down.

Advice and Comments appreciated.

Cheers

I'm gonna say just go with it. Your in the perfect place: a new player to a GREAT game. Play with it! Enjoy the learning curve, it's not terribly steep for this game so love it while you can. But I am curious, what do you mean when you say the Y-wing will pick a target off each turn?

Hey, i won!

I played vs a Slave 1, a Level 8,6 and 5 Tie and L1 - Cant remember the names.

With regard to the Y Wing, i love the Iob Turret as it looks like i can strand a ship and bully it with the rest of my units. Worked well as a number of occasions i was Range 3, shooting through asteroids with the Ties taking an evade, the Ion turret guarrenteed me to take down the last wound on a number of ships.

Congratulations!

But I'm very confused, how did the y-wing guarantee taking the last wound on a ship? Yes the ion effect is an awesome status effect. But it sounds like you were shooting the turret at range three (which it can't do) at a ship with four agility (asteroid, since secondary weapons don't generate bonus dice for range one or three.) With an evade token, and hitting eveytime. I'm assuming I've misunderstood how this went?
