A lot has been said about these being game breaking or not.  Personally I agree with the wait and see group.  I actually think it will be fun to find out just how tuff these little things are.  I am looking forward to trying out 3 TIE advanced with a Assault missile each.  But that is 15 points just on upgrades.  That isn't even a cheap TIE, it is a pretty medium one.  Not to mention the extra points you paid to have TIE Advanced instead of normal TIEs.

My worry is if (an this is only a possibility) this card only comes with the falcon expansion.  I know someone out there would be willing to buy Three Falcon expansion sets (or just by the cards on Ebay or something) so that they can have their awesome list.  Now if it turns out that three assault missiles is a bad idea then it isn't much of a problem, but if they are even remotely a good idea then they verge into the territory of spending your money into being good at the game. 

I hate games that require you to spend money to be good at them.  Not spend money to have stuff to play with, but spend money to get the3 good stuff.  I am plenty willing two pay over $50 for some table top units but am getting what I pay for.  But in CCGs or other collectable game you end up paying that much money just to get a good chance to get what you want.  You end up buying lots of stuff you don't want so you can get the things you want.  I don't want to have to buy three Falcons (2 of which I will never use) just so I can get two more little missile cards.

 buy just 1 of everything, then go on Vassal?

Has there been an A-Wing spoiler, to show that the  A-Wings gets to use Assault missiles,

I thought A-wings use P.Ts in the old X-Wing game.

 I again think this cost fear is unfounded. The picture for Slave 1 shows that the Assault missiles come with it. Almost everyone playing this game with the dedication to be on these forums is going to buy both the slave 1 and Falcon. (Read the threads on "how many models do you own etc." for some testimony to this.)

So "everyone" will have 2 of these cards to play with, and can you really see running more than 2 of these in a squad for competitive play at the point cost?

To answer the other question, if the preview pics are acccurate, A-wings do not have the Assault missiles card, but they have the Concussion and Cluster missiles card from the TIE adv, as well as a new Homing missiles card.

FFG posted some pictures on there expansion pack preview.  It looks like they come with concussion missile cards and a new missile maybe Homing Missile.  But based on the pictures FFG posted they don't come with Assault Missile card, but do have the missile upgrade icon

My point is that if you did want to SPAM them then it costs $30 per card.  You are forced to buy expensive stuff you don't want just so you can build the particular build that you wanted to try out.

I understood your (hypothetical) point. However, my point is, is this really something to worry about in actuality?
