2 newbie questions

[mwevre 0]

I have just the Force Awakens Core set.  If we aren't squad building or playing the tutorial, which pilots do we use to have an even match?

 

If we are squad building just to the 36 points, what happens if we both "secretly" choose the same upgrade card?  Do you just reference it?

For an even match just have both sides use the same number of points and you should be ok. So if both sides build a 36 point list you should have a fairly balanced game.

Technically the Imperial player gets first choice of upgrades, but I'd say both can use and just put the card off to the side for reference.

Sounds good.  That's what I figured.  In the original Core set it explicity said "use these pilots if you're not doing squad building" or "if you're doing squad building, build to 34 (or whatever) points".  Thanks for responding!

Welcome to the addiction. 

Rule one, Have Fun.

Rule two, Casual play is whatever you and your opponent agree to.

Rule three, Competitive play is where you have to adhere to all the "minor" rules. Example having all cards for your squad.

If you follow that version of Rule 1, the other Rule One tends to follow right along after.

As you're just starting don't be afraid to proxy cards you don't own, there are plenty of sites and squad builders you can use for reference like:

As long as you know what a card does there's no reason not to try it.

You only need to own the cards if your playing in a tournament.

Rule 4. Never forget Rule #1

Rule 4. Never forget Rule #1

What was it again?

Rule 4. Never forget Rule #1

I haven't, but I am not allowed to talk about it.

Clearly you're mistaken my friend. That's definitely Rule 2 you're referring to.

I thought rule 1 was not to talk about fight club.

That's the first rule of fight club.

 

I prefer Rule 1 on the Evil Overlord List

[Forgottenlore 9,838]

I prefer Rule 1 on the Evil Overlord List

 

On that list I prefer

 

"I will not turn into a snake. it never helps"

 

Can't remember what number that one is though. Thirty-something i think.

Think its 34, though rule 34 is obviously something else for the Internet at large...

No that's don't fight old small harmless looking Asian men.

And always remember Rule 4 (which is to always remember Rule 1)

[Parravon 5,217]

So, let me get this straight... now we've got to remember Rules 1 AND 4.

[Bojanglez 2,158]

I thought Rule No. 1 was "Don't be a ****."

 

 

 

that's rule #1 for life, generally, not X-Wing, specifically

[WGNF911 826]

I thought rule 1 was, "Thou shalt have no other games before X-wing." Could have sworn I saw that on FFG's site somewhere.

Welcome to the game.
