X-Wing

I found it quite hard to get my head round at first. Just seems so clunky and counter intuitive but quite enjoy it now despite only having a couple of games as it should let me test builds etc when i cant play elsewhere.

Wow, never heard of this Vassal before, awesome, I've been wanting to play Divine Right again for years. Still, can't replace the feeling of a nice boardgame

Just got my first x wing bits.

Nice

Cant wait for Tantive 4 and Rebel Cruiser to come out!

So played my first proper game against my friend who flew TIE swarm. He did an excellent job of flying in formation and myself being a rookie ended up putting the Falcon within the path of the swarm. 2 turns of shooting and it was dead - his rolling was really hot too. I did manage to take a couple of TIE out but it was too late at that point. Need to play some more to get more experienced.

Look what came today.

Question:
These models im guessing that they are plastic and not die cast?

Are they any good as collectors pieces (quality-wise) for people who love Star Wars but dont have the game?

Qualitywise I think these are superb. They are plastic admittedly, but they are just lovely.

Haha, you win!

Cavallino · 15 May 2014 at 18:12

Aha but its not about how many of em you have but how you use em

I am not sure I can justify £75 for the Tantive IV...

Tunney · 18 May 2014 at 09:50

Amazon initially had it on pre-order for £46. Looks like they're going to honour the price too!

Tunney · 21 May 2014 at 20:14

And here's the Tantive IV...

And I thought that the Rebel Transport was big! :eek:

Cavallino · 24 May 2014 at 12:07

Nice

Here are mine!
I haven't cracked one open yet, how many points is Tantive 4 anyway?

Tunney · 24 May 2014 at 12:12

It has two cards - one for th front and one for the rear, costing 50 & 40 points respectively. Not sure you can take just one half of it though.

Ah I see.

Presumably are these used with different points rules or something. Otherwise... 100 points kinda encompases the Tantive 4 no?

Epic play rules go from 300 to 800 points :eek:

( 2 x 400pt teams)

Ooh. Could have a fair few Tantive 4s I guess

Would love to see some battle reports of such battles on such a scale, are there any on Youtube?

*Waits for the Star Destroyer that will take up the entire room*
