Cloaking device as an illicit upgrade. Hello cloaking bro-bots.

Nope. The Illicit Cloak upgrade is "Small Ship Only" so cannot be used on Aggressors.

Jim

Indeed. I'm hoping they put up an article on the FFG site with some more info soon.

It's up.

SLAM action for the K-Wing. Nashtah Pup for the Hound's Tooth. And Extra Munitions for bombers.

Jim

Yep, faith in FFG restored.

Jim

Its also an issue that now I'm out $500 in third party mats that have just been declared illegal. Nice big FU from FFG to me for supporting and growing their game for two years.

Jim

The enforcement will come when someone attends an event (Store Champ, Imdaar, Regional or even an event giving away tournament kit prizes) not using all official FFG mats and complains. Then that store is no longer allowed to apply or be awarded official events.

It's total crap and needs to be reversed.

Jim

Well, considering that I am the TO of 99% of the events run at Dice Age, including the Regional,this is an issue for me.

I've canceled my Armada order and will not be purchasing any more FFG product until they reverse the cataclysmically stupid playmat ruling from the new tournament rules.

Jim

Dice Age has Regionals for X-Wing and Imperial Assault. Full details on registering, etc will be posted soon! I am the TO for both events.

Jim

Auto thrusters are not auto includes if there is a better modification for the type of ship. Ie I give you named phantoms..... Their auto include is acd

Remember that Autothrusters only work on ships with the Boost action. So only A's, TIE Interceptors, Star Vipers and Aggressors can really use them since they are a Modification. They may not be auto-include, but they are VERY good on those ships. I definitely think they are auto-include on the Aggressor for sure.

Love my IG-88 B&D build so far!

Jim

I should have my Imperials fully painted by this weekend. Have 2 Royal Guard, 2 Nexu, 4 Trandoshans and Vader to finish. Then the Rebels and I'll be done til the expansions arrive!

Jim

Got it for Christmas. Have played 6 or 8 games of Campaign and 1 of Skirmish. Really, really enjoy it! Wish I had time to play it more often. Currently painting the minis for it while waiting to get to play more often.

Jim

We play Epic once a month or so over at Dice Age. I'm sure it will see more regular play once the Raider is out and the Imperials can field their own Huge ship.

Jim

I cannot wait to run all four IG-88s in an Epic game!

Jim

Small update!

Anyone attending, make sure to bring a receipt for the toys for your entry fee. The $20 toy(s) is the entry fee AND gets you two raffle tickets. Every $10 of donation above the initial $20 gets another raffle ticket.

Raffle prizes are a Tantive IV and an Alternate Art Darth Vader card from the World Championships.

Play surface is standard 3x3.

Just to be clear, each round each team will be playing two separate games of 150 points per side, on two different tables. The games themselves are not "team games". The team format is to assure that there are no mirror-matches.

I doubt that there will be a space issue, but I would like to know who is coming ahead of time when possible. There's an event page set up for it under the X-Wing Pilots of Portland FB page and you can also call Dice Age to sign up.

The FB group is also helpful for people seeking a teammate.

Saturday, November 22nd at Dice Age Games

Doors open at 12 noon, Event begins at 1:30pm.
 

Entry Fee: $20 worth of new, unwrapped toys for Toys 4 Tots.
 

The rules:
 

This is a Team Event. Each team is two players. One player brings an Imperial List, one player brings a Rebel list.
 

Each round you will be paired against another team. The Imperial player will play the Rebel player from the other team, and vice versa - therefore all games will be Imperial vs Rebel.
 

Each player will bring a squadron of not more than 150 points.
 

Each round will be 90 minutes.
 

Rd 1: 1:30-3pm
Rd 2: 3:15-4:45pm
Rd 3: 5-6:30pm
 

Prizes given out at 6:45pm.
 

7-11pm - Open & Epic Play.
 

Casual level rules will be used.
 

Rebel Aces and Wave 5 will be legal. On the outside chance that any S&V ships have already official released at that point, they will be legal as well.
 

Prizes from the Winter Tournament Kit and previous game night kits. Possible additional prizes as well!
 

Come have a good time for a good cause!

Yeah, according to the pie chart at their panel today, X-Wing is currently about 32% of their profits. Its not going anywhere.

Especially since they announced Wave 6 today and that Wave also introduced the new Scum & Villainy faction.

Jim

so IMPS can only take fighters, and slave.  got it.

Space Cows too!

Jim,

 

will imps be able to take a tantive or are they restricted to just fighters.

Only Rebels may take Huge ships. Sticking with the rules on that one.

Jim

Wave 4 is "On the Boat"!

Also played my first game of Epic last night. 300 points is heaps of fun!!! I'd played 300 points before, but last night was the first game with Transports. Can't wait to get my CR-90!

Jim

Thanks Ed, for putting this together! Was a lot of fun, got a solid night of painting and socializing. Nice turnout too. There were what, ten or eleven of us and room for more. Would very much like to see this become an every other month or quarterly event.

Jim

CR-90 Corvettes are updated to "On the Boat"!

Jim

I will be there. Building some Daemonettes to paint that night.
