Good stuff. Some of the group took the plunge into the Star Trek version, and I played a game or two, but I held off buying anything as I'll always go for Wars over Trek. I just had to wait for someone else to join me on this side of the line.
First game of X Wing this Saturday. Questions on potential list.

So, after many a false start and crossed wire, I finally got a proper game played this evening, my Rebels versus a Howlrunner tie swarm with Lambda(?) shuttle. Very fun game that even feature Luke going up against Darth Vader, and losing. Due to only having access to three ships, I had a very elite list, with Luke and Biggs Darklighter in X-Wings, and Corran Horn in an E-Wing. Luke and Biggs were ok, but Horn was the star. He killed two ties, including Howlrunner, and the shuttle before finally succumbing to the massed fire of the rest of the ties. My first conclusion is that I need a couple more ships in the list. There were just too many enemy ships to be able to concentrate the fire of my three. Looking forward to the next game.
My list, thrown together on the spot. Was not familiar enough with Biggs skill to keep him close to Luke or Corran, but it's about the learning for now.
Closing in for the kill.
The swirl of battle.
Father and son face off.

Got a big this Saturday, and while I have enjoyed running the small elite list mentioned above, I decided I needed a couple more ships just for variety. We're also thinking of going to 150 pts for the game just so we can get more ships on the board to simulate a battle similar to the films. We have the whole day to kill, so there's no time scale to get the game done.
