Duncan, I thing there's an error on your spreadsheet in the Maneuver Dials section. For the standard TIE fighter the two reds for the Koiogran Turn should be at speeds 3 and 4, not 4 and 5.

It's a fantastic resource, thanks for the hard work & enjoy Celebration VI!

 Thanks, I will check it out when I get home.  I may even have some ships by then.  Depends on if I can maintan my self control at C6 and not buy more of the game than I already have coming via my preorder.  :)

Thanks,

I did manage to restrain myself at GenCon, I only bought 1 core and 6 fighters instead of 2 cores and 6 fighters.  That second batch is still coming my way when they hit retail.

 

Also if you're interested in filling in your spreadsheet early, I've got all the details here now: http://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/145226/x-wing-miniatures-game-rules-compendium-faq

After staying up until 3:00am, Friday morning, building my squad for the Inaugural Tournament later that morning; it donned on me that FFG needs to come up with an online squad builder, and/or an iOS/Android app.

I eventually tried one of the "sample" squads that FFG posted online just before the con, with not-so-great results.

I finally decided to run: Biggs Darlighter w/ R2D2 and a Proton Torpedo, "Dutch" Vander w/ R5K6 and 2 Proton Torpedoes, and Garvin Dries w/ R2F2 and a Proton Torpedo.  In hindsight, I should have dropped one torpedo (4 points) for "Dutch", and added the ion cannon (5 points).  Now I know, . . . .

All and all, it was a fun experience.  Can't wait for WAVE 2 to drop.

 

Wave 1:                    Wave 2:
4  X-Wings                 1  Millennium Falcon (YT-1300)
3  Y-Wings                 3  A-Wings
6  TIE Fighters           1  Slave 1 (Firespray-31)
2  TIE Advanced         3  TIE Interceptor

Hey Steve, think we played in Round 4.  You had the washed Y-wing and was planning to repaint it green, I believe?

Yeah, in my (fairly limited) testing, the ion cannon is huge for the Y-Wing.  The ability to fire in any direction helps negate the TIEs' maneuverability advantage.  I've been experimenting with Y-Wing plus R2-D2.  It turns them into even more of a damage sponge.

Hey gang,

 

With a little help from my friends and seeing the actual stuff at Celebration VI, I have updated my spreadsheet to contain all the data on the pilots and upgrades.  The link is in my signature below.

 

thanks,

Duncan
