"Cloaked in Battle " Topic

Fantasy Flight Games has a preview up of the 4th and final ship for Wave 4 of the X-Wing Miniatures Game with a look at the TIE Phantom.

"Changes are coming. When they arrive at retailers, the starfighters that comprise the fourth wave of X-Wing™ expansion packs are going to promote an explosion of diversity and squad-building creativity that will reach from the most casual elements of game play to the highest tiers of tournament competition.

The squad-building rules for X-Wing allow players to pair their starship miniatures with cards that represent different pilots and upgrades. As a result, the game permits a tremendous variety of different potential builds for both Rebel and Imperial squads. Still, the game's fourth wave of starship expansions is going to vastly multiply the variety of squads that you're likely to face. This is because it places new emphasis upon the game's ship cards and upgrades. Pilot skill is bound to matter more than ever before, and one of the key factors in this impending shift is the TIE Phantom Expansion Pack."

Hark, is that the sound of a sudden leap over a large shark?

Nah, that'll be when they release the 10" playable Death Star. Zoom! Zoom!

I wish this game was more fun…. I REALLY wish it were. I want to like it SOOOOO much :(

Sad to hear you say that VonTed, I have been having a blast with the game. So many different builds, and each character pilot adds something to the game. Some ships are really good and some are meh… But you really have to like air combat games to begin with to really enjoy this game. This game is like Wings of War/Glory on steroids, and not a realistic simulation of starship combat. For that there are other games.I think for a Star Wars simulation it's tops.

I'm with Inari7; I find X-Wing to be an extremely enjoyable game. The key, though, is to play with scenarios with specific victory objectives other than "kill 'em all and let the Force sort 'em out." And like many dogfight games, it works best with more than two or three ships, and more than two players, too. This really isn't a game of "who can buy the best fleet." That's for the birds. It's all about creating interesting match-ups for an entertaining battle.

I'm looking forward to the arrival of this wave; I expect I'll pick up a couple of each ship.

Glad you enjoyed it boys!. (smile).
