I think there could be potential in a lambada and 3 bomber build it would have a very un-imperial playstyle - slower and less maneuverable but could have a high damage output

The bomber looks to be a capable dog fighter in its own right. I'm a still trying to find a home for the shuttle in a 100 point dogfight. I fear mine will be used in scripted scenarios only... That said, shuttle with a heavy laser cannon and captain jonus as a wingman has serious potential.

Massive Xwing games yesterday using every model I own, on rough calculation is was about 350pts Empire and 300pts Rebel. Absolute carnage but fun and at point we has to call it time the Empire had a slight lead but the game could have gone either way. With so many ships it was hard to remember to use all of the pilot abilities but I was pleased with how the shuttle performed but didnt maximise the Imperial aces as kept crashing them into the Acadamy TIE's

I can't imagine a huge game working all that well, unless it was a team thing.
Take some photos next time!

It worked a lot better than I thought it would. It was 2vs1 and for 2 of the players they had only played 1 game before, so they really jumped into the deep end but they coped really well. The game split up in to 2 main battles and I think this helped the game flow.

Larger games apparently work best if each player controls ships with the same pilot skill.

Interesting find - Matt if outdo play a game only your wallet will regret it Although to be honey I think the club has a lot of wingers so there are probably always people playin with spare ships if you want to plan games. Also with a restock of current ships & wave 4 due out at the end of the month it's a good time!

Thats the squad builder I used to use but the support has dropped off it as it doesnt have all of the upgrade cards etc. I now use Squad builderThis is regularily updated and as soon as cards are confirmed on new releases they are added

Huge nice one Matt. Did a 300 point game on Sunday was interesting but I may say one thing... Bad flying can be funny but when your howl runner ends up here after the movement phase you do need to worry!
