Title says it all. I hate the plastic bags. Takes forever to find the tokens I need to set up and keeping it organized after a game is a nightmare. Anyway to more easily store things so that you can pull the components you need quicker?
Does anyone have a link to spreadsheet that contains all of the items in the game? Ideally from both 1.0 and 2.0/5 or at least 2.0/5 and everything that was posted to 2.0 with conversions kits (was there anything 1.0 that wasn't ported?)
At the very least something that contains all of the ships would be great. Even better would be something with all the pilots. I guess all upgrade cards would be even better but I don't really need that.
I'm looking to track what I'm missing, what I have, how many of each I have, mismatches between number of dials and models etc. That was I can easily see what I can afford to sell/give away and what I still need to buy if I can get my hands on them *cough* huge ships *cough*
If there isn't anything out there then I can make something myself. That will be easy enough for tracking the things I do have as I'd just sit down and go through my collection one day,. But I'll probably mess it up a little trying to track the things I don't own, as I'd probably miss something online
I'm sure someone's made something like this, I'm just not having much luck finding it online. We're running a campaign with several players new to the game. I'm looking for an Excel/Googlesheet that has all the various upgrades available in the game, with restrictions listed and the full ability shown. I'd like to be able to send the other players chunks of it when it's relevant for them to pick something new, that I can pre sort and make sure they're not getting confused by upgrades they can't actually use. The 2 of us with ship collections can pass around our card binders when in person, but it would be better if we could have people picking their upgrades between games. Plus we're not really limiting them to only upgrade cards that we personally have, so a spreadsheet works much better for this.
Most of the squad builder apps will show you the ability but you have to click each upgrade to see it. Or there's the second edition fandom wiki but once again you have to click each one without a good way to sort by ship/faction restrictions. I want something that's easier to look over and see several things all at once. I'm finding lots of versions of the points lists from over the years, but nothing that has the card text in a column as well. Has anyone seen a good sheet that has all the official cards?
I have a 3D Printed Gunship, Tie Stalker, and Agressor resins that need to be given suitable paint ups.
I have a large library of Games Workshop paints to build from, and would very much appreciate to hear from other painters/repainters as to what colours you would recommend to get a good paint job on these wonderful prints.
I'd love to get them to match up with my existing OG Ties and Lamda.
IT'S BLOG... THURSDAY!!?? 😬😁
A little late but still with some important things to talk about! Did someone say XWA tournament kits...?
A batrep from the Draft League!

Does anyone know the measurements of the pilot cardboard base tokens? S, M and L?
I'd like to buy some sheets to store them in binders along with all my other cards. I'm thinking coin collector sheets should probably do what I need but not sure on the exact size to order.

We have a group of three that plays aces high, and we have adopted/created some pretty interesting ways of playing in order to keep things more interesting.
For example, last time we got a bag full of a few dozen different dials and drew them at random in order to determine our ships movement. We made a few modifications as well that if the ship flew off the mat (which surprisingly only happened twice) would respawn at a random jump point (rolled by a die), as well as the red die to determine which spot on the jump point.
Did a huge ships aces high before.
I’m looking for other suggestions on modifications to game play. Ridiculousness is encouraged, but there is a point of too much. Though we haven’t really found that yet.
Hey folks
I’ve just completed my collection of a 4 player Heroes of the Aturi Cluster, and thought I’d have a look at Flight Group Alpha. Going through the rules/ missions, it looks like FGA needs way more AI ships. In one scenario I counted a need for 10 Z-95s and in another, 12 Y-wings! Am I missing something, or is FGA very ship intensive?
I also noticed that the prescribed ships for the imperial players seem to severely limit the ability to play certain missions, eg there’s a few where every pilot needs to be flying a gunboat, which isn’t viable given how rare those are.
Maybe I missed it, but I couldn’t see anything in the rules around how to work out ship substitutions. Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Always wanted to play but busy w life and young kids. Now the kids are bigger and into StarWars and I remembered this game existed a few weeks ago. Sad to find out it’s been dropped buy FFG and then AMG.
I guess if we’re just playing kitchen table, there isn’t a good or poor time to buy a game. But I’m more thinking around the second hand market prices. For those of you that have been around for a long time or even the past few months, are things spiked bc of fomo, or dropping due to no official support? Do you feel like your local xwing communities are bailing or sticking w the game?
I don’t mind shelling out for tabletop minis, esp if the price is even remotely stable. But I’m looking for input on buying now/soon vs potentially waiting 6-12 months to pick them at 50% or less than the current market etc.
I kinda just wanna buy now and play. Looking at used collections around $300-$400 with 2.0 info. But if the diff is a few hundred bucks I may consider waiting.
Is there a guide for buying used and what is “standard” to pay? Or is there a resource out there to tell what ships are rare and would spike the price of a collection? For example, I’m looking at multiple lots with 30-40 ships, and visually as a whole between quantity and variety of ship sizes they don’t look that different? But prices are ranging from 300-$700 and I’m curious what could drive the difference.
Thanks for reading my stream of consciousness.
Paige Ticos ability with trajectory simulator means i should be albe to launch both bombs with a 5 template yeah?
Hey y’all! Was curious if any of you have cool terrain you’ve made that you love using. Whether it’s supported by rules or just fluff!
The rules say to play until any squad has six points, then the winner is the ship with the most points. How does that work? What are the squads in a free for all?
I'm going off this for reference- https://ffg-forum-archive.entropicdreams.com/topic/301332-aces-high-rules/
I've been losing many games just using 10 tie black squadron aces and I'm just wondering if there is a good tactic(s) to impose that help the survivability of my ties.
Out of curiosity, does anyone know where I could go to print off the cardboard bases for ships, if such a place exists?
I've been out the game for 2 years now so apologies in advance, what's the score with GSP these days?
Found some cool stuff at a LGS while visiting some family. If anyone knows where I can find a servants of strife expansion, let me know.
Whenever I build a list, whether I close the app and re-open it at another date or even right then and there; my point counts get reduced to as if the upgrades aren't being accounted for. This doesn't correct itself unless I remove an upgrade and then put it back on which is getting incredibly annoying.
Even rebuilding the entire list from scratch the issue persists. The app is completely up to date and I even tried uninstalling/reinstalling it with no luck. In the pics you can see this normally 195 Point list will initially show up as 161 when I launch the app until I edit it, then it will go back to normal.
Just got the "Servants of Strife" squadron pack for a mere £25 on eBay! This was the last pack I needed as a few months ago I found a Trident for £35, but it needed some separatist friends. Out of interest, what are some other good separatist ships. I play for fun only and I have quite a lot of GAR ships and way too many imperial ships.
Hello everyone!
This week is back with separatists and talking about the Droid Tri-fighter!
How do you like this ship? How does it perform in whatever version of the game you're playing?
What was this ship like on release in 2.0? How is it in Legacy and XWA? What are your favorite lists with this ship?
The XWA has updated their tournament kit and opened up limited early registration. https://docs.google.com/document/d/16OqO-sBB6IB63TZmCdQg3QZYJjfpL_SX/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=111709658065681649204&rtpof=true&sd=true
EDIT: Major Vonreg misprint will be addressed. Just a little continuation of tradition it seems! ;)
