I played a few games of this the other week.
Different pilot skills have a huge difference on the outcomes of games.
Whilst we wait for certain boosters to come back into stock, we are making up numbers with "stunt doubles" (a mix of old Micro machines and Star Wars fleet battles fighters - they had the same mouldings) for spare x-wings, y-wings, TIEs, etc.

One guy in our group managed to snare a full set of the first wave (and I've got an old F-toys 1/350 scale Lambda class shuttle we use instead of the card marker).


FLGS is supposedly getting some new stock and a small amount of wave 2 next month (rep seemed convinced, anyway).
I'll believe it when I see it.
