Any recommendations for a place to get them cheap online? I live in Australia if that helps. edit: Just checked the bottom of the first page recommending CoolStuffInc, is there any idea of an ETA for the A-Wing and TIE-Interceptor?

I didn't do any real checking on shipping prices, but my FLGS has it 20% off and I'm fairly sure they'll ship wherever.

However Fantasy Flight does not give out firm release dates, so it could slip later than that.

Finally got my first game in today and it was a lot more fun than I'd anticipated. Took about an hour to get through one of the book missions, but 75% of that was reading rules. I can't imagine how fast this can go when everyone knows what they're doing...

Does anyone have ideas for forming a league around X-Wing? I want to get more folks together around this game on a semi-regular basis, but don't have any experience running organized long-term play. (Also, Victor, for interested parties.)

So the next wave of ships has been pushed back to February and they are running a special tournament, the Kessel Run, as a way to give out some ships early. I've already requested one, and you should too. I want those ships, drat it. Deadline is Nov. 15th.

Thanks to this thread I just bought a bunch of x-wing poo poo on amazon. I glossed over it twice at gencon. Didn't think it'd be my cup of tea. You guys make quality sales pitches, though. Trad Games is killing my wallet.

So Dutch Vander with R5-K6. Dutch has his thing where he grants target lock, which is fine and dandy and all that good stuff. But what happens when R5-K6 has you immediately acquiring Target Lock again after spending it? Does Dutch then grant another Target Lock because he just acquired one? Running him in a fire team with Garven Dreis has a lot of hilarity potential too.

drat, that looks amazing. Can't wait to get my hands on the Wave 2 stuff. I got my store to sign up for the Kessel Run event, so hopefully that fires. I haven't had a chance to partake in any tournaments yet, just casual matches, so it should be a lot of fun. Looks like FFG also revealed their first official "Game Night" kit for hobby stores to sign up for: http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=3698

 Tonight was X wing night at the store. 2v2 @ 60 points each for this game, and Empire won. I killed Wedge in the other 2 games and The Empire won those too. Everyone is having a blast with this game.

In a 2v2 120 point game like that (or was it 60/team?), did you use a space larger than 3x3?

I think some people on the FFG forums have some homebrew rules to use a Corvette from Hasbro in the game, but there hasn't been anything official announced yet.

I think the Corvette would be the absolute largest FFG would go without having to alter scales. And from the design notes, they seem to be pretty serious about keeping scale in order.

I was thinking larger ships would be cool too and I feel like a large-scale expansion would be cool as long as you could still use the little ships. We'll see what Disney has them do with it...

I just played a 70ish point game against a friend. I had an X-wing and 2 Y's, he had 3 basic Ties and an Interceptor and he absolutely wiped me. I lost Biggs in the first 3-4 turns to Vader's missiles, and he slowly whittled down my Y-wings to 1 hull each. Then he just kited my poor ships around until all of his were in range 1, and critted them both to death. This game can certainly go either way.

In almost every wargame, skirmish, conflict, fleet or what ever, I always find it infinitely more enjoyable to play with some kind of objective, instead of a basic death match style. I think that XWMG could definitely benefit from having more of them. The ones in the manual are alright, but there needs to be more for sure.

I didn't really see this clarified in the rules, and it came up during play today: Are the focus and evade tokens reusable? Although I can't imagine them being a one-time use thing, but if they ARE reusable, shouldn't they be played at every opportunity? This is how we played today. Almost every activation phase ended with focus/evade/special ability tokens being next to a ship.

However, you only can (normally) put down one per ship per turn, so if you've got multiple tokens next to a ship you may be doing it wrong.

You cancel out a damage die with a evade counter. The same goes for the focus. You can only choose an action once per turn and cannot choose and action if you used a red turn. edit: definitely playing it wrong, guys: Spending a evade token - If the defender has an evade token, he may return it to the action token supply to add one additional evade result to his defense roll. Same goes for focus. Red Robin Hood fucked around with this message at 07:57 on Nov 17, 2012 |

I played tonight and am still getting used to the rules of the game. Two questions arose - 1) Does a regular attack with primary weapons count as an "action" as far as a stress token is concerned? IE: If I have a stressed ship, can it still do regular attacks? 2) Does spending (not applying) a target lock count as an action? If not, does that mean you can apply and use a target lock on the same turn?

Although I can't imagine them being a one-time use thing, but if they ARE reusable, shouldn't they be played at every opportunity? When you use the effect of the tokens you are supposed to discard them, if at the end of the turn, if they are still in play you discard them as well. On the back of the rule book, under the right side of the quick reference quote:Focus: Place 1 focus token on the active ship. During the Combat phase, spend it to change all (eye) results to (hit) results (when attacking) or (eye) results to (evade) results (when defending) quote:Evade: Place 1 evade token on the active ship. During the Combat phase, spend it to add one (evade) result to the defense roll. Step 4 of the Game Round: quote:End Phase: Players remove unused action tokens from their ships (except target locks) and resolve any "End Phase" abilities on cards.
