Ok so I like the Fantasy flight article with the Lambda Shuttles...but the kept saying "it's competitive" without posting a competitive list. Anyone have what they think would be a competitive lambda list?

Hey to everyone I talked to about the Saturday X-wing at Cosmic Comics, I just got some details and it has changed. It's not a tournament this time, it's a demo and casual play starting at 4:00 (Sat Mar 22nd). There will be participation prizes for anyone who plays a match or learns the demo (alternate art B-wing cards I think). Not a bad way to practice for the Dark Tower Tournament on the following Saturday the 29th. They have the season 1 prize kit (Interceptor medal, plastic bomb and ion tokens, alternate shuttle/B-wing art) and will be running a tournament with it eventually so we can keep an eye out for that. I'm sure they'd take input on the best timing for that.

So more of a casual gaming event but I think it will be fun and we should get to rub shoulders with new players.

Hey if you are looking to get some practice in for the Dark Tower Tournament there is a demo and casual play event at Cosmic Comics this Sat Mar 22nd at 4pm. There will be participation prizes for anyone who plays a match or learns the demo (alternate art B-wing cards I think). It's perfect for anyone who is interested in learning the game and seeing what it's like and I also think it will be great for anyone who wants to test out their list before the DT Tournament. They have the season 1 prize kit and will be running a tournament with it eventually so we can keep an eye out for that. I'm sure they'd take input on the best timing for that.

Yeah, that is so great that they are taking a good look at a way to "fix" the A-wing. Such a clever way to do it by filling the missile slot with an upgrade that makes your ship cost less (cause they probably made it cost more cause it had the missile ability). I'm hoping that the new upgrades in wave 4 might redeem the A-wing a little sooner, maybe the new missiles will make them show up in competitive lists. Up till now the "Push the Limit" in the A-wing box was half the reason for buying it and now you can get that in the Imperial Aces. Speaking of which, the one that can banked barrel roll is super fun to play with. Not crazy competitive IMO but with PTL you can boost and roll and end up doing a power slide...drifter style. And if you boost left or right and then roll back towards where you started you end up in almost the exact location you started but facing the other direction.

Ok I'll show up early (4:30-5)and if we have enough for 2vs2 x wing then we'll do it, other wise I'll bring a 150 team to fight you blade squad x-link. And yes Kogere I plan to be there late.

Anyone want a 2 vs 2 game of X-wing? Maybe 75 points per player, bigger mat, and of course you can't tell your team mate your plan so the chaos of running into your teammate is a factor.

Yes let's get that tourney booked! Also I know we are planning a tourney with the promo kit but isn't there also an OP kit? It would be cool to do another tourney in April with the OP kit if it can be got. Also we have yet to do a multi-player game. These are cool cause you fly your own ships on your team and can't talk to your teammate about what your plan is. People who fight/think similar will do well with partners that can "see" what they see. Play 150 points (each player bring 75) and roll out a slightly bigger board (I have one), let the chaos/fun begin. Also I love scenarios. And if you really want 3 shuttles to be able to stall take the 2, 4, and 6 piloting skills. the "4" can soak up the stress tokens of the other two while the 6 can pass target locks off to the stressed out 4. Not perfect but I've done the opening sequence math and after two turns I can stall in place with 2 of the shuttles for two turns while the third tries to deny actions. (after which attempt to execute the 3 way carousel of "I'm covering your back"...not competitive)

Fantastic, thanks for heading that up. Should be fun to see how people approach the tournament lists with the new interceptors.
