Right, so I've been eyeballing X-Wing for a couple of weeks now and highly considering collecting the game for myself and friends to enjoy with a few beers. There's just a few questions i have first that hopefully the X-Wing community can answer.
So the first question is where to buy the miniatures from, what website offers good affordability, reasonable delivery times and keeps good stock? A perfect combination of all 3 might be unlikely but where do you guys find favorable?
The second is what miniatures do you recommend to create a balanced starter force for both Empire and Rebels to face of against one another? I have no idea if this game uses a points system or anything, so i have no idea where to begin with buying two balanced forces. I assume the starter set is recommended and/or mandatory but i'm looking to buy an additional 2-3 ships extra per side on top of this, or is it worth buying 2 starter sets even? Or is it redundant to do so?
Lastly, are all games played on a 3'x3' gaming space or is that just the recommenced size? It sounds like a small area to me but then again i don't have an idea for the flow/pace of the game yet.
Thanks in advance people
