My friends had Core Sets and nagged me to play the game. So I bought the B-Wing expansion and kicked both of their butts with Ten Numb. Next thing you know, I've spent way too much money on this game.

I dunno what all this math stuff is, but one time I rolled 5 green dice against 3 hits and all 5 defense dice turned up blank.

Isn't this just a modified version of the Sith Interceptor from KotR?

We all need to play more 1,600 point games. Just my ¥2

But I love Epic.

lol this just takes a massive steaming **** on BBBBZ or TIE Swarm

"You have it, too." EPT At the beginning of the game, you may choose one EPT in your opponents list. Treat this card as if it were the chosen card. 2 points Mimickery and shenanigans are awesome!

Did you use the initiative token that came with The Force Awakens core set? I thought it was clever of them to add that to the new core. Sounds like it was a blast! Yeah, you can actually see it in the first photo! But we would pass the pin over to the other side each turn so initiative would switch over turn after turn. We figured it would balance out the game's turn order for shooting and activating, which is something we would like to try in the 100 point format to see how it affects our strategies.

Thanks for the compliments guys! It probably would've taken us another 2-3 hours for the rest of the game. It was really picking up since at least 4 or 5 ships were going down per turn. As for objectives, we might consider adding some CTF or control points to hold down. This game we were keeping track of awards like "First Blood" and "Kingslayer" for fun.

Last night, my friends and I decided that 100v100 was getting boring. SO WE DID 800 VS. 800 AND IT WAS METAL Album link: https://flic.kr/s/aHskk6Yr21 Special rules for our game: -Only 2 unique cards per side. I took Soontir and Howlrunner, they took Jake Farrell and Dodonna's Pride -Derelict ships: If both sections of a ship are crippled, it remains in play and can still move and shoot. At the beginning of each activation phase, it rolls an attack die, on a crit the ship explodes and is removed from the table. -We used an "initiative coin" that determined which team had initiative to move and shoot on conflicting Pilot Skills. Worked out really well, I also think it would be cool to implement in standard games, but we'll need to test that out. Stats: -9x3 play area -18 obstacle tokens -22 Small ships and a pair of Raiders on the Imperial side -20 Small ships and a pair of CR-90s on the Rebel side -74 attack dice could potentially be rolled on the Imperial side -89 attack dice could potentially be rolled on the Rebel side -66 defense dice could potentially be rolled on the Imperial side -35 defense dice could potentially be rolled on the Rebel side -4 turns were completed in 4.5 hours before the game had to end -Imperials destroyed 320 points worth of Rebels total -Rebels destroyed 340 points worth of Imperials total -No large-base turrets were present in the mayhem This game was a lot of fun, even though we didn't get to finish it. We also enjoyed feeling like fleet commanders in the field commanding squadrons in close proximity, especially with so many generics. The game also felt very cinematic in the way that so much was going on and so many ships needed to be accounted for since the action was widespread throughout the entire table. We're going to shoot for another game, possibly 2,000 points, in the near-future so we could see how much more carnage we could fit in a single game of X-Wing!

Portable Slicer Tech Scum only At the beginning of the combat phase, if an enemy ship at range 1 has a stress token, you may receive a stress token and roll 1 attack die. That ship suffers any hit or crit results. 2 points

You can actually repair hull too. But all the repair stuff is Rebel exclusive. Technically, you can put the WED-15 Repair Droid on the Raider, which means Imperials have access to repair stuff too...

Deathraven!!!

"Yellow Ace" PS5 After acquiring a target lock, you may perform a free boost or barrel roll action. 20pts

You could also take Airen Cracken with Swarm Tactics to help out the rest of the squad.

I like to see weird canonical situations like the way JJ set up the modern Star Trek movies by making a loophole-blackhole-time-distortion-thingy that still connects the new ST universe to the old one, but has complete freedom for story and character development. Yeah, Biggs is dead when Corran or Poe is around, but maybe this Biggs accidentally went through some weird timewarping phenomenon that landed him in a different dimension. Or the universe where he was mercilessly explodified was just a bad dream Biggs was having before he took off to fly alongside Han and some dude in a Z-95. Idk. Makes sense to me. I think.

I think the new TIE/fo's are really good, despite what others claim about them being inefficient. Haven't had any experiences with the T-70s yet, though.

If you buy 3 Punishers and 2 Defenders you can make 3 of these things!

HLC all day!

Nah, I'm the ugly as sin dude with his sunglasses on indoors eating his lunch tray full of rebels!

*shameless self-promotion...* https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/topic/113789-beyond-epic-x-wing-apocalypse-3000-point-game/ Also did a 500vs500 recently. Doing another one this Friday. I'm sure if you were in my local area you'd love to get into the crazy games we throw!

Really, do you play for fun? Haven't taken a game too seriously since Regionals, I got burned out from competitive mode but I love X-Wing so much that I could never play another competitive event again and still be happy. I still buy all of the new stuff, I still play to win, I still enjoy generic T-65 X-Wings, I still like playing and playing against turrets (even without Autothrusters), I still like Brobots, I still like TIE Swarm, I still like 4K'ing my Defenders to victory... I think you get the idea. One thing I have noticed in the recent weeks is that there is a rampant increase of "Fix-it" and "New Core Set is doing/going to _____" threads that are popping up. This leads me to assume that a good amount of people are either not having fun with the game or are only looking at the competitive/tournament value of the game, and I've participated a bit in those as well. I'm just wondering if we're all still having fun with X-Wing. I mean, jousting values and calculating points cost is nice and stuff, but when are you gonna dust off and bust out the X-Wings and TIE Bombers and StarVipers for fun again and not worry about MoV or the brokenness of whatever card cramping your style? Because lately it seems that most of what I'm hearing is grief about something not being playable when in reality everything is playable when it comes to having fun!

I feel like playing a game with Joe in real life would be 100x more enthusiastic than he is on the forums and there'd be a lot of shouting and caps lock.

The /fo looks way better.

Zeta Ace's official name is pretty much Murder Face.
