IT'S BLOG... WEDNESDAY? 🙈😁

Yes, back to being late! Still, I wanted to talk about this game as it was very good fun!

https://exilesquadron.com/xwing/a-tale-of-two-games-part-1/

Are there any good online stores that make the EC Henry designs for the Y or the B wing? I got the Y wing printed by shapeways a long time ago but it wasn't that great of a model or experience.

I am new here and I am planning to buy a set to start playing however I am a bit lost with versions. According to my understanding/search/read the latest versions is 2.5 and all cards, boards can be found on the Holocron of infinitearenas

I am wondering if it is better to buy V1 or V2 because it seems that many content is not up to date. It also seems that the upgrade is probably worth from V1 while I am planning to print miniatures and probably find a provider for cards/boards. May I ask for your opinion?

I must have him.....

Would love to trade and/or buy yours! :)

(corrected typo from previous post.... dang autocorrect.... (thank you u/writerpilot))

So for 2.0 they changed the huge ship bases and the movement tool, does it make much of a difference from 1.0? I have a 1.0 CR90 and 1.0 GR75 and am just wondering if I NEED the huge ship conversation kit. Thanks for the help!

Interceptors seem to work well. Any others viable? I've found squad points alone aren't a useful way to decide

All right, based on this image, what's your homebrew card? And don't forget we get a Cassian pilot.

Tried to jump back in today after a couple years and it seems like dozens of ship chassis arent options anymore in YASB. No khiraxz, no Kimigola, no G1-A, no Phantom, no Gunboat, just on and on. Nearly 20 official models I own are no longer on any of the list builders. Am I missing something?

First impression : that's quite a lot of token ! Now I understand people looking for specific storage system to help keeping track of those little things. Do I have to expect more tokens for other ships ? Or do the starter + squadron pack cover them all ? I planned of acquiring medium ship such as the Millenium or Decimator maybe.

Thank you in advance

Hey, as in the title. Are there any? Last few ships I got from UK and German sellers on ebay - some of them may be actual online stores, but the prices were not great.

I mainly play scum and love it but at some point you gotta branch out. Above are the factions I have decided to maybe branch my collection to. I've had a few games with FO and doing 1/2 of a list involving republic but I'm still indecisive and willing to try some stuff on TTS before investing so hand me good lists, funny jank, or whatever you're finding interesting there in XWA.

I love the app but I am no longer able to delete squadrons.I am on Android. In the past you had to slide the squadron in the list to the left, but now when you do a long press the squadron allows you to move it up or down to rearrange its position in the list. I was able to only see the side option (sliding left, copy icon appearing) only once. This thing is too sensitive now. Do you have the same issues? To app creator - is there any chance to make the squadron delete option easier to trigger?

Is anyone on the Legacy team working on any future custom content? Doesn't need to be ships, but even just upgrades or pilots to spice up the game.

It's no secret upgrades were nerfed in the change from 1st and 2nd edition - but it still feels like the variety of upgrade cards is anemic. The vast majority of cards came with the faction conversion kits.

I mean, aren't there literally only two turret options? I feel like custom upgrade content for nearly every upgrade type would be nice to create more list building strategies.

Hi guys,

My friend played lieutenant Sai beside a decimator (Morna Kee) with a tactical officer crew (so it coordinates with a white action) and a few TIE fighters.

Is this an infinite action hack??

Like, lieutenant Sai coordinates the decimator, the decimator coordinates a TIE fighter. Then Lieutenant Sai can coordinate the decimator again, so on and so on.

We can't figure it out with the rules, thanks for your help!

Sean convinced me to write about my draft league game from last night, instead of the other thing I was gonna write about. Enjoy!

Ive got a few questions regarding the quality of these builds:

Are they good competitively speaking?

Do they match the style of each faction? Ive got squads from 3 factions and I still don't understand the difference gameplaywise (if someone can give me a quick guide about them id be grateful)

Are they fun?

Are they balanced if we match point count on each team?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Edit: I meant the infinite arenas prefab builds 😅

Just got some new ships and my son and I are terrible at remembering every trigger and upgrade, so I’m going to do a 3 ship tournament with four different factions.

So for seeding purposes what ranking do you give these squadrons? Don’t worry about load outs, we’ll probably forget to use them properly anyways.

Empire: VT-49 TIE Decimator Rear Admiral Chiraneau

TIE Advanced x1 Vader BoY

TIE Defender Colonel Jendon BOE

2-Rebels: YT-1300 Han Solo BoY

YT-2400 Leebo Dry-Witted Droid

T-65 X-Wing Luke BoY

3-Resistance:

MG-100 Starfortress Edon Keppehl

Scavenged YT-1300 Rey

T-70 X-wing Poe Trigger Happy Fly Boy

4-Scum:

Firespray Boba Fett

Gauntlet Fighter Maul

Fang Fighter Joy Rekkoff

Just straight up battle, 2.5 points. Let me know how you would seed them, thanks.

I guess I have enough to play 1v1 with my friend haha. Quick question, does the epic battle set require every player to have a huge ship ? I didin't opened it yet

Just wondering if there's any 3d printing support for this game. My buddy and I are getting into one page rules, which he's printing minis for (just regular war gaming), but he and I really enjoy Xwing too.

I figure since it got cancelled, maybe the community has set up some printing support.

Thanks in advance

So I'm wondering if they will release a new & improved Star Wars space combat game at some point in the future. Are there any rumblings about that ?

IT'S BLOG TUESDAY!! 😁

I've got a game to talk about and it's a DOOZY!

Howdy!

Being an off and on avid kitchen table X-Wanger with a big 1.0 collection, I love the physical aspect of flipping through a binder and some stacks of cards and matching up stuff until the numbers add up. It's also so easy to have new or casual players make their own loadouts this way, its elegant and just works.

But man, some 2.0 rules look so niiiice. Movable arcs? The Force? Bestill my heart. But whats the deal with squad building? I either have to deal with an app or army lists, old school Warhammer style right? I have no interest in that. Now that the game is more or less dead; or once it is, the games balance will be settled soooo....

TL;DR: Does anyone have a source for 2.0 legacy pilots and upgrades with the point values on the card so I can bring the halcyon days of 2015 to the present day?

Thanks everybody, happy X-Wangin' ;)

On November 3rd, 2024 at 3:45 PM I accidentally dropped my recently acquired gauntlet fighter, snapping the female peg on the ship off. Thankfully, it was a clean break, so repairs shouldn't be too difficult. I have attempted to use some e6000 to permanently attach the stand to the ship to no avail. Soon, I will attempt to use some museum puddy to save this poor, innocent ship. I will update you all on the procedure soon. If you have any advice or suggestions, please let me know.

New points release and bug fixes, as well as a bunch of new goodies. As before, Online mode is still in development, please submit issues directly to the GitHub repo so that we can resolve them. I'll work on adding an in-game option for this later.

Hey guys, im kinda late to the party: I played X-Wing for the first time last week and was instantly hooked. I'd love to play Galactic Republic, so I checked if my LGS still had any models - and got lucky. They still have the follwing packs:

Eta-2 Actis
Guardians of the Republic Squadron Pack
Z-95
LAAT/i Gunship
ARC-170
V-Wing
Siege of Couruscant

Additionally, I was thinking of buying the Never Tell me the Odds pack for some obstacles.

A friend owns the Starter Pack, so I wont need the measuring tools or a game mat to start playing.

Will I be fine with that? Is there anything else needed to play? I'm really scared that someone else will buy the packs and I won't be able to get them anywhere, so I don't want to wait with the purchase for too long.

Thanks!
