I am so loving pumped. I have been behind on buying the latest waves but now I'm like, fully energized for more new X-Wing action.

That reddit post says that bombs *and munitions* happen in the systems step. So if you have a TL, you can fire a proton torpedo in the systems step, then do a regular primary attack in the engagement phase?

If so this seems like a significant boost to munitions.

Nah, the demo games all had the torpedoes fired during the normal combat phase.

Edit: You're misreading that post. Each item is its own thing and has no relation. So even though the line about munitions comes after the one about bombs, there's no intention of passing the timing along from one to the other.

Ah, poo poo, I got excited, but alas. Makes sense now.

It kinda fits the theme to me, and differentiates them from proton torpedoes, which I like.

Give it a supermassive single base, like 2x the size of the existing large base.

This is gonna be an interesting design space.

Since ships have all their upgrade slots tracked via the app now, it seems incredibly dumb that the M-3A still has the ship-specific "you may equip a missile, torpedo, or cannon" wording printed on the card itself.

I'd get the SSD just as like, a display piece.

I finally got my eyes on 2.0 product in real life and I'm so mad at how good the new Y-wing sculpts are. I already have 4 1.0 Y-wings so I absolutely cannot justify buying any more, which sucks.

Ditto for movable S-foil X-wings and rotating Fang Fighters.

First ever 2.0 play tonight!

I settled on this and really enjoyed it:

Jake Farrell
+Proton Rockets
+Crack Shot

2x Rogue Squadron Escort
+Proton Torpedoes
+R4 Astromech

196 points.

E-wings are good again, finally!

I finally found a 2.0 core set, started punching out all my cardboard for it and my conversion kits.

...so who do I murder to get more shield tokens? Four is...not enough.

Finally, 2.0 has allowed me to mix the joys of Excel with the joys of tiny plastic spaceships.

Now I know how many dials I have extras of!

I'm out of the house now, but when I get back I'll add in a "how many kits did you buy" thing to auto-populate the dials owned columns and then post it

Alrighty, here you go, X-Wing 2.0 Dial Tracker version one (and probably only). You can tell it how many of each conversion/expansion you've bought or you can manually enter the number of each dial you have on the second sheet. Counting all your old 1.0 ships is on you, though.

I am totally pumped to play resistance bombers again with whatever shenanigans they have to do to make them good. Lol

Looks like they dorked up the fortressing resolution verbiage? It looks like there's supposed to be two paragraphs, one for "the guy is indeed fortressing, is informed he is doing so, and fails to stop doing it (and loses immediately)" and another for when he's informed and then stops fortressing, but they copy-pasted the same blurb twice so we don't know what, if any, punishment there is for that.

They don't want to watch it burn, they're just willing to burn it if doing so lets them win.
