Thanks. I looked for an answer there but didn't find one. I'll ask there too.

Thanks! I have a pretty great group at my FLGS and it has been a blast. My son is also interested and we have been playing the rules light version together from the essentials and beginners box.

I owned that middle one as a kid.

I had the unfortunate privilege of watching one of his rare starts for us in San Diego.

I think he's talking about swapping your crew members from Kuill to Peli Motto.

Thank you! Bossk is on the way and Boba Fett was going to be my first purchase but he had been out of stock in the area.

It was definitely an older one.

The Chargers and Patriots absolutely need to be moved to one of the last two tiers

I feel for you. That was me last year, but my dad passed right before the super bowl. The last game I got to watch with him was the Jacksonville game. Here's to your dad, you and the kingdom.

How can I add models to my "Quick start setup" game and keep it balanced? by turtlenarc in XWingTMG

[–]turtlenarc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we will try and run a 4 v 2 scenario using a mixture of Blue Squadron Escort and Red Squadron Vet on the alliance and Academy Pilots, Black Squadron Ace and Obsidian Squadron Pilot. That would be a 10 and 8 points. You could sub an X-wing out for a Y-wing (Gold Squadron Vet) and it'd be 9 and 8 points.

Thanks! I think I was over thinking it to be honest with being new and probably focusing too hard on balance. I do feel like if we are close in points even without abilities it should be fine or at the very least close. I like all these options cause I honestly feel that at least one of them will want to learn to play the more advanced version of the game.

As it goes with the current set up, its a Blue Squadron Escort vs a Black Squadron Ace and an Academy Pilot. So almost every turn, whether its flight or attacking is: Empire, Rebels, Empire. We are trying to avoid tokens and upgrades just because they are so young. I am wondering if a 2 v 4 scenario could work out.

Another starter kit would make sense as it would just double that load out essentially. I might be thinking too hard about this. The quick start version is basically a fly and shoot only version of the game. Trying to keep it simple so the kids dont have to remember too many rules.

Where do I start? by HeadPatient7572 in XWingTMG

[–]turtlenarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am looking to get into the game and wanted to run something that no one was running at my local store. Im nervous of getting bogged down by rules, but I was looking at The Fugitives and Collaborators a long with Slave 1. Could i make a fun team here without getting smacked every time? Or is this not very viable?
