now that I think about it... Rebel Aces will add Farlander to the Jedi mix, and technically (or rather technically not but while we're at it why not...) Leia "flying" the Falcon with Han (theoretically) on the guns (which is where his card text actually comes in anyway...)
now if only they weren't all so expensive... one would probably have to play 150pts+ to actually use a decently kitted Jedi Squadron...

Yup, and it will be interesting. I'm looking at slightly bigger games for this anyway. Granted you can have 100 pts work really well but I want to see 150 up to 200 pt games. Just think of all the upgrades and weapon systems and it can add up pretty quick anyway.

My CR90 arrived yesterday. Beautiful model and even bigger than I was expecting. A little fragile though so take care with it!

Added a few photos, sorry about the lack of background. If anyone is interested it takes 5 turns to do a 180 degree turn with the ship. It'll end about range 2 to the side and range 1 forward ofnits starting position.

Awww!

Looks like my main order may be lost in Hyperspace. Confirmed it was sent out last tuesday, and even travelling second class it should have arrived by now.

However, post team at work may yet have it. I've had a few deliveries sent to the office the past couple of weeks, so it's possible I've been given one package, when there was actually two lurking for collection.

Really want to get started!!!!

Fingers crossed they show up, where did you get them from ?

[Mr Mystery]

boardgameextras.

Will check with the post team tomorrow, and let the guy at bge know the outcome.

[Mr Mystery]

Definitely not been delivered. Curse you, Royal Fail!

Have emailed the bloke with the bad news

And a replacement order is being sent out. Hate it when stuff goes missing, and this has not been my month. Bunch of classic horror films were delivered by Amazon, and their driver declined to leave me a card saying who with, and nobody in my building is owning up - this generated a refund.

Worried I might get a bad rep for the amount of stuff that goes missing

And after a weekend in Nottingham, wandered around the city, procured a TIE Bomber, and a TIE Advanced.

Very nice, and forms a sweet looking squadron with the two Phantoms!

Had my first games on Saturday. Got absolutely trounced by the local league. First things that I have to focus on are realizing how I'm going to end my movement and to watch out for them damn asteroids. Then list building.
I played:
-Wedge Antilles, Red Sq. Pilot and Corran Horn
-Kyle Katarn, Garven Dreis and 2x Bandit Sq. Pilots

Both saw some success, leaving the opposing ships battered, some dead but ultimately was beaten by seasoned pros.
Picked up a Y-Wing on the way out and am trying this in my very next game:
Horton Salm, 2x Proton Torpedo's and Munitions Failsafe (37)
Luke Skywalker, R2 Astromech and Marksmanship (32)
Biggs Darklighter, R2-D2 and Flechette Torpedo (31)

Oooh! Separating Luke from R2! Dirty Boy!
