Re: X-Wing
The best prices I've seen are about $7.50 from Miniature Market when they have one of the ships on their Deal of the Day.

You have to consider that 8 small base ships is the max you can fly in a standard 100-point game. 2-4/5 is what's usually seen on the board at a time. They are worth their price. |

The nice thing about X-wing compared to Heroscape is that X-wing comes with 4 pilots per ship plus some upgrade cards. So while a Heroscape expansion gives you 2 squads and 2 cards, an X-wing expansion allows you to use a ship 4 different ways plus customize it (and other ships you already have) in many different ways. That's how I rationalize it, anyway. |

Re: X-Wing
Yeah, the packs are just more than the ships. There are a lot of cards and tokens in there that help out your ships. Lots of cross-faction and cross-ship cards in one pack.

Re: X-Wing
Guys, what's your thoughts on the new FAQ and Tournament Rules?
Phantom Decloaking has been moved from the Phantom's activation to just before any dials have been revealed, changing how they play considerably. (Now they are amazing blockers.) Debris Clouds are now legal in tournaments, but now each player has to bring 3 unique obstacle tokens that they cannot change during the tourney. They go into the collective pool of 6 asteroids/debris tokens, and are placed like normal. Some things have been clarified in the FAQ, such as how to properly align large ships that have overlapped. Tournament rules go into effect on April 15th, 2015. Thoughts? |

I'm OK with it. Wasn't a Phantom player to begin with. They were annoying to fight against but not impossible (and that's with my shuttles!). I still think they'll be decent. Might see more of the lower pilot skill ones now. Dragon Dice - (the 2nd best game there is) Learn to Play! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1h3q6...wujcr8vVf8e21G |

Re: X-Wing
Agreed. I never really flew the Phantom much to begin with, and never had (too) many issues when I flew against them.
I do like the obstacle thing, but the debris cloud tokens will still take some getting used to, as I haven't played with them and don't know all their rules. Overall, I think I'm fine with the latest FAQ. "Chewie should move 6, lumbering or not. He's got long-ass legs"-

Re: X-Wing
I'm very happy with the Phantom nerf. Often times when facing a Phantom it would simply be impossible to get a shot on it because if you accounted for one decloak direction by maneuvering one way they could just see how your ships moved and choose another decloak direction and still get a shot. Now that you know they are committed to one decloak direction instead of being able to move wherever they want to it should make it possible to deal with one, the same way it's possible to deal with every other ship in the game.
Phantom strangled off everything that couldn't get to PS 9+ or wasn't a fat turret from the meta. It'll be nice to be able to play normal builds now (swarms, 2 x wings & 2 b wings, etc.) and not autolose should you face a phantom. All of the players in my area somehow derive pleasure from playing nothing but dumb fat turret builds and pretending that manuevering their turrets against each other matters, so they of course didn't feel the nerf was necessary. Thank god that FFG is actually rational and isn't content with the game being nothing but turrets to deal with phantoms. I actually enjoy playing generic phantoms, and one of their major weaknesses are supercharged named phantoms, so I'm excited to get to play more of those. Nerf doesn't really hurt the generics at all, and the (de)cloak mechanic adds a lot to the game when you have to decide between cloaking and firing and you're actually a glass cannon. Circumcision? HIS body, HIS decision. A person should have the right to their own body. "Sometimes you're right but you're always an asshole." - Anonymous neg rep |
