You make a good case. I guess my only hang up is that as a poor college student, I know I'm gonna spend $100+ bucks on this game anyway, I just can't do it in one go like that. Perhaps its time to learn the value of saving up.

For some content actually related to the game, how well do X-Wings and TIE Fighters stack up against each other? In the Star Wars films/EU, TIEs are super fragile, but I would think to have a balanced game, FFG would have to have buffed them up a little.

From what Ive read it seems 2 TIES = 1 x-wing due to its shields and firepower advantages.

Got my Plano case today. Holds everything alright, but I'm a bit concerned about putting more ships in it. I'll probably have to get a bit more creative (maybe some foam bits like a previous poster suggested) to fit more ships in the way I'd like them.

That said, now that everything is in a nice, easy to carry case, I can take X-Wing on the go.

I got two generic bead holders that have adjustable slots. They are enough to hold two starters and all the current expansions and plenty more. The rules book on the top makes it tight enough to hold everything down so it doesn't slide around.

This way I can just hand a faction to someone and it has all the cards, tokens, ships, dials, dice, movement thingies, etc that they need to play.

I'm still waiting for 40k RPG books from FFG I ordered 18 months ago.

It takes a long time to pack 40,000 books. And transporting them? Jeez...

CorSec has some baller new movement templates and a range ruler to go with their firing arc template. I'll probably pick these up at some point, I also need to see how much one of their starfield mats will cost in 3'x3'.

I wanna take those templates out behind the middle school and get them pregnant.

I wish people around here played :(

Got a few games in over the weekend; awesome fun but we both really need to work on manoeuvring properly as we ended up with all 9 ships touching in a massive conga line at one point.

I wish it wasn't sold out basically everywhere now as I wanna get enough ships for 2 100 point forces so I can. Lure my friends in.

If you are in the US, email me at username @gmail.com

Edit: or anyone looking for x-wing stuff I guess
