X-Wing Miniatures

I had fun meeting some friends last night for some tiny plastic space combat.  Tiny though the ships are, I set up the largest X-wing Miniatures game I've tried yet: Nine Imperial ships versus six Rebels, on a slightly oversized play area.  It was 166 points per side, with four players, including two who had never played before, so it was kind of slow going for a while.  After we got the rules down, and after a few ships were blown up, things started going a little faster.  Not fast enough, though--we could not finish before the game store we met at started closing.  I'm not even sure who was getting the upper hand.
