Awesome collection. The mat is great 
Where did you get that from?
I actually have the game, just haven't got round to playing yet. I was a little annoyed that it only came with 3 ships - was expecting more - and the price of extras, but everything else about the game looks top notch. How many ships do you need for a decent game btw?

Yeah, it's not a cheap game to get into. The smaller ships are around £10 each and the new capital ships go up to around £65! The mat is from a company called Gale Force 9. Lots of online shops in the UK stock them. Fantasy Flight are bringing out their own tiles to play on soon too.
I think you can have a decent game with just the starter box. Normal games are around 100 points a side, which will get you between three and eight ships. Imperial forces tend to have more ships as TIE Fighters are dirt cheap.

I'm an X-Wing player (and Star Trek: Attack Wing too!) with a focus on the Empire because they have cooler ships than the Rebel scum.

Long live the Empire! Death to the Rebel Alliance.
Alas, my wife's opinion of X-Wing is "That game looks like a fiddly mess" but luckily my son and friends are X-Wing players. I stick to my beloved eurogames with the wife.

This is one of those games I'd love to play but I'm terrified of starting because I know I'll just buy EVERYTHING.

The models look great.

Blimey didn't know such capital ships are being released! That's great! How do you know theyre going to retail for £65?
Also the Aces Expansion is not even out yet!

I got a massive collection of both Xwing and Attack Wing but haven't played them yet!
no one to play them with
Oooo you're in Hampshire! Shall we make it a date one night?
Bagsy being the imperials!

So I am
I'm game (no pun) if you are (but just bear in mind I've just had a newborn so perhaps not in the next few weeks!).Whereabouts you live bud? North Hants here, (Fleet).
E: And you can be the Imps if you like. Gives me a chance to try out the Falcon

They're already up for sale on places like Wayland:
Rebel transport
Tantive IV
They're slightly cheaper on Amazon.

Element Games have 20% off as well at the moment and are slightly cheaper than Amazon
Wow thanks. But both those ships are Rebel ships, whatabout the Imps?
Also I thought the Aces Expansion was coming out first?

Pre-orders with a speculative release date.
Empire doesn't have any well known capital ships small enough to fit in the game. I don't think we will see any of the expanded universe ones such as the stormtrooper transport.
As for Imperial Aces, not heard of a release date but I'm guessing April time. Really looking forward to that as an Imperial player. Gotta love Squints and the 801st squadron.
I read the above thinking "pff Im sure there is something comparable to Corevettes on the Imp side."
After 10 mins of searching... words fail me.
Any idea whats in the Aces Expansion exactly Splodge? How many you getting?
