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.

SERPUS posted: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? 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.

Rulebook Heavily posted:I think their ion turret is 360, but not the torps. The Ion turret can fire outside its arc, first line on the secondary equipment card for it. Ion Turrets are a 5 point upgrade though, they don't come with the Y-wing for free. quote:Attack: Attack 1 ship (even a ship outside your firing arc) Missiles and Torpedoes still have to follow the secondary weapon rules though, and have to fire using the ships firing arc.

Those TIEs are cheaper than I can get them at my wholesale distribution rates. They are losing money on them. I have distribution accounts with FFG, and with Warpathgames.com

There are also TONS of neutral cannon ships, if anyone remembers JTL from the SWG days  I hope for all that is right in this world that they do NOT do clone wars era stuff.

I use those plano cases as well, I have two, a single side and a double side.  Left top storage for counters and rulers. Right: double sided case, Imperial side.  Left lower storage, bases, cards, dice. Right: Rebel side. I think I need more rebels.

Colonial Air Force posted:One of my favorite terrain manufacturers is now making MDF maneuver templates. I have actually been thinking about getting a set of these. They are larger but there are less of them http://www.litko.net/products/Space-Fighter,-Maneuver-Gauge-Set-(4).html#.UaqXW0C1FWY  I can get them for much less, if anyone wants in on my next order. $20 + Shipping, which would be dirt cheap, flat rate USPS.

alg posted:This makes me so mad: Its a 4 point difference, the B-Wing gets an additional maneuver and an additional equipment slot. I don't really see a problem with this. Its armor is two points less, but as you mentioned I bet that its maneuverability is way better than the Shuttle. Still its only 4 points and not really something to get angry about - at all.

Rebel ships always cost more, as there are fewer of them in play at any given time. Its not just an additional torpedo, its a whole different combination, there are only two that re similar between the two ships.

Just wait then, I will have at least 3 of them, no need for duplicate unique pilots (I have so many alrady, anyone want a Wege? I have 4)

So, I was at the FFG Gamestore (and HQ) in Minneapolis on Wednesday, I saw the Coreillian Corvette and the Rebel Troop Transport in a display case. Both were very impressive, but the Coreillian Corvette was jaw dropping. so much detail... it really is awesome and I hope the production versions are just as good.

Yep, that sounds about right, two women and three men. Two out of our group are not really board / wargamers. I was driving and I wanted to stop I wish we had a gamestore like that around here, we are all from Sioux Falls, SD

Ill be sure to post pictures of our massive battle when we play, I am waiting for my set of JR Miniatures Deathstar tiles to show up. going to have a 3x3 deathstar at one end of a 4x8 table, with trenchrun, and rounded edges and a Rebel feet assaulting Its gonna be great. You can see the tiles, trench and rounded sides here. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1238621915/space-station-terrain-project-thats-no-moon oh and of course you know the Imperials will have defense turrets

gently caress the YT-2400 at least the Empire is getting some love.  The VT-49 Decimator looks pretty nice. A couple of them should make for nice Corvette hunters.  edit:  YT-2400 for completion. LumberingTroll fucked around with this message at 16:33 on Jun 13, 2014 |

Madurai posted:I would have guessed that the next Imperial large ship would have been the Sentinel, since it had screen time. That's just another version of the lambda, I would have been pretty disappointed if that was the next mid size ship to release. I can't wait to see what will be the first Imperial large ship.

Madurai posted:A Lambda that's twice the size and has missiles. Everything I've seen is the size is pretty similar, just longer, the front of it is exactly the same. Edit: did some checking and yeah, its just almost twice as long. 38 meters as to the lambdas 20m, The rest of it is very similar. It only has two concussion launchers, and was mainly meant for a Troop / Vehicle / Supply transport, not a primary combatant. Poopy Palpy posted:As much as I'd like to swat alphabet fighters out of the sky with a Lancer Frigate, that thing is twice the size of a CR-90. I figure they will do one more size at a smaller scale to get some of the larger things in, but I don't think we will ever see star destroyers or mon-cal cruisers. A Nebulon-B Frigate would work though, they are only a little larger than a Corillian Corvette, and the Imperials used them a lot. There are also a lot of snub ships that look like baby star destroyers. A lot of this is EU content though, including both of these new ships and the characters on them, so they must not be following 100% cannon now? edit: guess they have been for a while now, the HWK / Katarn was EU as well.

Tekopo posted:The Nebulon-B is almost twice the length of the Corellian Corvette. You are correct, it actually is twice the length, 300m to the corvette's 150m. They could do a Imperial Customs corvette, its only 180m so 30m longer than a Corillian Corvette. Guardian Class Light-Cruiser is only 42 meters long. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Guardian-class_light_cruiser This site is helpful. http://insd.swcombine.com/insd.htm LumberingTroll fucked around with this message at 20:59 on Jun 13, 2014 |

Squadron identity is used when in engagement / maneuvers so that listeners outside the squadron know who is talking and in what reference. Her squadron identity is Obsidian 1 for reference.

Lungboy posted:Have they said how much the starter box will cost? $99.95 is the price I have from my distributor This is in the same price range as other full size box boardgames, so really its not that much of a stretch. Its also the same price as most intro boxes to traditional table top wargames. Speaking of, remember hearing not too long ago that they would be doing a tabletop wargame, I wonder if this is what that person meant.

Chill la Chill posted:I'm just hoping this doesn't shatter the playerbase and organized play support. I'd get into the new game but don't have room for it. I see it as two similar but fundamentally different audiences, though this is clearly a gateway game for tabletop wargames. It seems to me that Armada games are going to last at least 50% longer than X-Wing, and require different planning and strategy skills. About organized play support, dont worry at all. FFG is awesome at it, they do it for all 6 of their LCGs, X-Wing, and Descent.
