X-wing, How to fly in formation

I found this good video (not made by me)
Its made by 'x-wing strategy tips'

This video covers the basics of flying in formation and is well worth the watch for new players to this game, and players who just keep crashing (like me)

Next list, is also 100 of the dot, and has some heavy firepower with a couple of Hwks, cos why not? lol

Blue Squadron Pilot (B-wing) Heavy Laser Cannon
Blue Squadron Pilot (B-wing) Heavy Laser Cannon
Rebel Operative (Hwk-290) Ion Cannon Turret
Rebel Operative (Hwk-290) Ion Cannon Turret

So yer just a couple of random fleets :)

X-wing report.... we killed vader!

So I tried out a list yesterday it was something like this-

1 Shuttle, advanced sensors, Vader, Engine upgrade, Gunner
5 Ties

I played against

Chewbacca
2 red pilots, 1 had R2-D2 and a shield upgrade!

So the game started with my flying two formations, a unit of 2 ties and the shuttle and a unit of 3 ties, while he flow the falcon one side of the map and the two x-wings the other.

First turn, the shooting was the 2-xwings at 1 tie, at range 3 killing it off, and chewbacca missing the shuttle at range 3, and the shuttle knocking off 2 shields of the x-wing and then using vader to give it a crit, which was direct hit! not bad

Then everything went wrong, he one shot two ties, one with each x-wing, and then the falcon put 4 damage on the shuttle (everything turned up really close to each other)
My turn involved taking most of the shields of the falcon.. I couldn't get a shot on the dying x-wing

Then it got worse, the other two ties were shot out by the x-wings, and so my shuttle shot the only thing it could.. the R2-D2 x-wing.. at range 1 , and done 4 damage! 3 shields and 1 hull gone, I risked another vader crit, and it was engine damage.. dam a direct hit would of been nice!

The next turn was bit slow, shuttle and the two x-wings couldn't shoot, and the falcon shot at range 3 doing nothing...

And then it was over, the shuttle using advanced sensors, engine upgrade etc, turned as much as it could around, but 2 x-wings and a falcon who all shoot first, all had shoots, so the falcon at range 3 missed (again) but the x-wings were able to finish the shuttle off

So a lose for me, and I am still no closer to choosing a list to take to MK with me, I have been trying to fly Imperials, but I might just go back to rebels (I seem to do better)

My next list I want to try is-

3 x rookie Pilots
1 Wedge, R2-D2+Shield upgrade
That is 100 on the dot, and I do like my x-wings, so maybe time to use all 4!

Anyway thats it for now!

x-wing fleet (with pictures)

Happy New Year everyone :)

I thought I would post a few pics up of my current x-wing fleet, for the game x-wing miniatures. I am currently very much into this game, I have a tournament in Milton Keynes in a couple of weeks for this game tho, so I am looking forward to that, also hopefully my local shop will do a little January tournament and so I get at least a few games in this month :)

So anyway..onto the pictures of my current collection, I am sorry for the poor pictures its because my Ipod's camera isn't brilliant, and its the only camera I have nearby currently.

So first up is my Imperial fleet, then my Rebels, enjoy!
