I hope you got that edit key primed for after the In Flight Report tomorrow. I can't wait to see what's going in that empty spot in the display case :getin:

Also, are we going to make this the X-Wing/Armada megathread?

Has anyone nailed down a release date on Armada yet? I assume they're not selling stuff at GenCon, but then again, they're selling Wave 5 earlier than I thought they would be.

http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_upcoming.asp says Q1 2015.

vvEditvv: Hey, Q1 is a three month window! I'm sure they'll make it. :rolleyes:

I see it has ion torpedoes, so it looks like they are being generous as to how many ships you can fit in range 1 lol

Finished up for the night dropping after round 5. 3-2 is a respectable record for someone who hasn't flown a ship since july. Heading back for the night to stress out about my netrunner decks for tomorrow morning. :negative:

There was so much beer going around friday night into round 4 I'd be amazed if there was a single player not imbibing.

I played in 6 rounds of xwing at worlds, and only played one douche: everyone else was extremely chill and relaxed, and fun to play against. I feel like that average is still quite hard to come by in most miniatures games.

FFGs official Judge program, along with floor rules, will help a lot in stuff like this. Right now almost everything comes down to a judgement call on the spot. Some kind of unified, detailed document that sets a standard is coming, but maybe not soon enough.

You ever play of round of X-Wing and you do so bad it makes you want to sell the game and never look at it again? That was my night. It was miserable. I'm fine with losing (i normally do), but when my four rebel ships fail to destroy a single Academy Pilot from a swarm of 7 TIES over three rounds, I feel a little like the dice are telling me to go gently caress myself.

Buy new dice, and melt your other dice when your new ones arrive. Make sure the new ones watch, so they know what happens if they fail you.

Two of the LGS's that I play at in alg's area sell below MSRP and offer great gaming spaces. One even has a liquor license with craft beers on tap! He may just be spoiled with good options. The most local LGS to me is over 2 hours away, so I resort to online most of the time.

Wow, the Raider is a completely original ship. FFG has just managed to add to the (presumably Legends) EU, and that's pretty cool.

They worked with Lucasfilm Ltd., and it's coming out post Canon purge. Does that make it not Legends?

I know the Scum and Villainy stuff is coming out and now we have the huge Imp ship, but have they discussed anything else for the future? It seems like every miniatures game I get into eventually loses steam and dries up after a year or two.

Good news! We are heading into year 3, and they keep showing us awesome poo poo.

They aren't back in stock, its just that no one buys poo poo from Barnes & Noble because they charge MSRP so they still have inventory.

If I just want to play this game for a day with my brother, is there anything reasonably cheap I can grab that'll still be fun?

A core set can be had for a pretty reasonable price, and you can treat it like a board game. I doubt after you play it a few times that you can resist the urge to collect all of the pretty space ships... :getin:

You can talk poo poo about Fat Han lists, but sweet jesus christ I've never seen so many Corran's in one place in my life. 4 of my 5 matches today were against fat rear end Corran Horn's and some flavor of YT. The other was a BB Chewie list.

Yeah, I poked my head in for a few at the store, but I wasn't able to play today. There were a lot of Corrans, 3700 lists, and Decimators. Some dude had apparently never seen a Corran before and was receiving a rude awakening about what he does and how the FCS works.

My cards for x-wing are all sleeved and the kept in 9-pocket pages in a binder. The upgrade cards fit nicely two-to-a-slot, but it can be a bitch to get the bottom one out, so I never double up two different cards, only duplicates.

This works amazing with side loading pages, and you don't have any problem extracting the bottom card.

The 4 pocket Ultra-Pro Pro-Binder is awesome and is easy to tote around while remaining small.

I just ordered one on amazon based on that picture for about nine dollars. I'll get a nine-pocket one pretty soon for pilot cards because I've been really lazy about getting a legit storage solution for X-Wing cards.

Official X-Wing playing mats from FFG. They'll probably be more expensive than other alternatives.

39.95. Not terrible for what you are getting, especially if they are the same material as their playmats for the LCGs they give out. (It's the same material)

I have a gorgeous solution that works for me, but is expensive and probably unreasonable for most people to tote around their dumb plastic spaceships.

I picked up a Portable Warfare bag in rebel orange, use a small plano boc for tokens, and two 4 pocket ultra-pro binders for pilot cards and upgrades.

So turns out I lost my 2-Bank maneuver template somewhere at a tournament last week, which sounds like the perfect excuse to upgrade to an acrylic set. What's the set of choice for y'all? Cheap would be good, ugly is acceptable, online availability with decent US shipping is essential.

Team Covenant has nice templates. Available in tasteful wood options, as well!

I used to live in KC ( now in NC) but in the 2+ years this game has been going I haven't heard ANYTHING about x-wing there. Where do you guys even play? Did anyone go to Worlds? I didn't overhear anyone talking about KC/K or KC/MO.
