N00b with a Core Set - 180pt Build for a Tourney Tomorrow - Go!

[macmastermind 203]

So, I've got a tournament tomorrow and I've played only one game thus far - without any upgrades or obstacles.  Bought my single core set on Sunday.  I need a list. 180pts.

 

Go!

I have no idea which is better in Armada and I have no personal preference.  If you ask me about Imperial Assault, I say imperials all the way.  X-Wing, I'm probably going rebels.  Because I have experience in those games.

 

I won my only game running the 'learn to play' imp list with no upgrades and no obstacles and no objectives.  Just a straight-up rules tutorial.  I don't have time to test a bunch of stuff before tomorrow afternoon, so I'm soliciting help.

 

I'm going to run one or two games tonight to get used to things, but I was leaning on you guys to throw me a solid core set 180pt list (whichever one you think is strongest, and what to keep in mind while running it)...

A list is nothing if you can't use it.  You might as well just build a list and go with it for now. Practice practice practice.  =)

...and that's what I did.  Did pretty well - I picked up a second core set and ran 2 Corvette A's with Luke and 2 X-Wing squadrons.  Had a LOT of trouble with tanking VSDs, and I had no idea what any of the scenario cards did, so it was a blind day for me.

 

But it was fun, and that's a good thing with a new game I know nothing about.  The only problem I had was the 45-minute time limits that didn't allow 2 of my games past round 4 (because we are all new at this game).  I would have liked more time to make better decisions, but there it is...

 

Fun game.  Looking forward to the 300pt build...
