Re: X-Wing

Don't buy expansions just for upgrade cards unless you need them for tournament play. I just print out extra upgrade cards & pilot cards (because I wanted to play Porkins & Hobbie & Wes without having to buy the Rebel Transport).

Re: X-Wing

Where are printable versions found? I found a pilot cards file on BGG with Rebels and Imps (no S&V). I'm not sure if it's up to date for the Rebel and Imp pilots. I did not see anything with upgrade cards.

Re: X-Wing

I used a photo-editing software (GIMP) to paste the cards I wanted in a document. This webpage has the cards sorted by expansion, but it hasn't been updated recently. The X-Wing Wiki has the rest of the cards. It takes a decent amount of time but if you're familiar with GIMP or Paint.net or Photoshop it's pretty simple. Just reduce the size of the card image until it overlaps the template.

I'm fairly certain Hellfire sent me the original templates to size the cards correctly, so props to him.

Spoiler Alert!

That's awesome! I've just recently been thinking about doing this too. I have at least one and many multiples of every ship from the Core Set to Wave 3, but just can't keep up with buying every release. There are some ebay sellers that sell individual cards too, but honestly no one I play with locally is going to care if I print out a card to use. You still need the models and dials to fly the actual ships, so I don't really feel like it's cheating Fantasy Flight out of anything if I don't want to buy a huge ship or certain expansions just to get a couple cards from them.

That said, it would be sweet if Fantasy Flight ever releases card sets. As the game continues to expand, it would be really helpful to be able to get upgrades you want without having to buy extra models. But I'm sure they're selling enough ships the way it is that there's no real incentive for them to do that.

Re: X-Wing

There's a Store Championship near me at the end of this month that Im really thinking about going. Ive played less than 10 games so Im mainly going just for the chance to play some games and have fun. However, Id still like to be some what competitive and not be a complete push over. So whats a fun/easy/competitive build I could take out of 3x Core +wave 1&2 no Interceptor?

Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.

TIE Swarm is your best bet.

What he means is a tie swarm with a shuttle.

It takes some practice though, don't you think? Playing a swarm effectively isn't easy and depending on your style it might not be your idea of fun either. I'm not arguing against it competitively, but it's not what I'd call "fun/easy".

There's a lot to keep track of and a lot that can go wrong. Quickly. I've seen people do well with three x-wings (Biggs, Luke, and Wedge) and it's much easier to manage IMO. Or a large ship with some support can be a lot of fun too.

I definitely appreciate the TIE Swarm, I just think it can look easier than it is to really be competitive.

Re: X-Wing

You could try a Falcon plus 2 X-wings. It used to be a really popular archetype before the Han + Corran or Han + 3 Z-95s started appearing everywhere.

Possibly. I've been playing Z-95 swarms since I started playing competitively in November, and I've yet to place lower than 2-1. Won a tourney with Tarn Mison along side 6 Zs. It's doable, for newbies.

But really, it comes down to your playstyle. I like swarms and outgunning my opponent. And Rebels and Scum.

TIE swarms would do good, and can be fun if you like that. Though it's tricky to stay within range 1 of Howlrunner, if you decide to run her with them.

Triple X-Wings can be fun as well, but can also be tricky to fly to stay in formation and reduce the heat Biggs has to take.

A Fat Han with support will do well. With those expansions though, it may be better to go with a Han that can kill stuff quickly. I don't think you'd have enough to make a Fat Han.

I would suggest to make something that you'll have fun flying. You'll probably be facing a lot of Scum builds, and a few TIE interceptors.

Heh. You love Shuttles like I love Swarms, eh?

We should organize a game at GenCon sometime. Looks like we already have an idea what our base builds will be.

I haven't see a swarm with Shuttle. Shuttles are hard to move (unless ZoomShuttle). Though a DoomShuttle with a TIE swarm would be interesting.

Shuttle with a fleet officer works well with a tie swarm.
