"Star Wars X-wing, pictures from 4 games" Topic

Patrik brought X-wing down to the club this weekend and I got to play 4 games. This was only my second time playing the game as I had tested it briefly with Andreas a couple of weeks ago, but this time around we played for a couple of hours which meant I started to grasp the rules and gameplay towards the end.

Patrik had bought a bunch of the new ships, such as the Tie Interceptors and A-wings, and as I really like the A-wing I included at least 1 in every one of the four games that we played. They are really cool but so fast that they made me too eager to get in close and personal with the Imperial ships without thinking (and got me killed a lot).

Still, it seemed that I played a lot better when I was able to channel all my focus into the single surviving A-wing I had left in our third game, and was able to successfully dogfight 3 Tie Interceptors, some of them damaged, and destroy 2. I would have destroyed the 3rd as well but the dice failed me. The situation was as such that I had 2 shields and 2 hull points left (completely untouched), the enemy Tie Interceptor fired and scored 4 hits, I had only to save one single damage roll to survive and fire back to destroy the enemy. Of course I failed all my save rolls….

You can see a bunch more pictures from those 4 games over at my blog:

Looks like the A-Wing in the first picture has a very bad day.

Looks great! I wish I had grabbed some TIE Interceptors when they were released. My local store has all the other ships but sold out of a big order of the TIEs immediately. They are now being sold on Amazon for $40 USD apiece!

Anybody know when more will be available from the manufacturer?

Back ordered for $9.99 USD on NWS. Others are saying later this month or early May.
