I'm sure someone will find this interesting.

Ship scale is 1/270. Here's another preview, showing glimpse of gameplay. It seems each ship is pre-programmed in secret. Movement is done using special rulers (including curvy ones). After movement, the pilot shoots according to the ship's shooting arc.

Looks fun, seems like it could do with a 3rd dimension but that might just slow the gameplay down too much and not add a whole lot. I like the profile cards, minis and critical hit mechanics.

Depending on price I might well get this.

Does any place have these up for pre-orders and did it say when the release date was?

I have 20 of each on order to sell at some point. I had hoped to have them for Historicon, buyt they havent shipped yet. Word from my supplier, they should have them before Gencon. When is that? Second weekend of August?

3rd weekend of August – 16-19

I wonder if they are delaying the release to coincide with GenCon, which is what several other game companies have done with their products – they wait until the weekend prior to GenCon so it will be out in stores and then they do a massive promo blitz at GenCon to promote sales.

As long as I can use it with my 1/144th scale F-Toys models I'll pick it up for sure.

I'd be interested in seeing this in action…

Yeah, this ia FFG we're talking about. There's Y-Wing and TIE Advanced expansion packs planned. The later includes Darth Vader pilot card.

X-Wings, Y-Wings, TIEs, and Vader's TIE fighter will be available for individual purchase the same day that the starter box is released. $15 USD/each.
