On the one hand, this all sounds like really great stuff. On the other hand, my wallet is crying already. Bottom line is I'm getting two more TIE Fighters.

XXX is covered by one core and one conversion. Most things worth swarming with come with 4 bases in the conversion kit; for TIEs one kit and one core gets you six, which qualifies as a swarm to me. I think a lot of the worrying about price is premature.

I confess I was worried about this until I realised its 6 TIEs total across the two sets. I've never ran more than 7 TIEs (6 Academy and Howlrunner) so its not that big a change and I suspect that 6 will be a perfectly adequate swarm in 2.0.

It stings that I won't be able to run all my TIEs straight out the box but I have an entirely ridiculous number of TIE fighters.

Hell, one core, one TIE expansion, one conversion gets you to 7, which is the sane version of a TIE Swarm.

Yes, absolutely.

Of course, with the new core set I'd have 8 to that would be 9. I really got into TIE Fighters early on. With the new app and a casual group it doesn't matter one jot, mind.

So if I'm reading this right then the Wave I expansions are going to have the same cards as the conversion kit but they will diverge afterwards (but maybe with future conversion kits to come).

I cannot wait for the colour code changes to the dial, being partially colourblind I have found the red/green difference a struggle at times. Daft but major quality of life improvement.

I’ve had some success annoying my opponents with Countdown with a stealth device. Since you can cancel results and take a damage, you don’t lose the SD.

This is brilliant!

Pretty sure anything in the app is fair game.

I think you are right, the GenCon tournament was quite restrictive I believe but FFG have been clear that ongoing events will be balanced using the app.
