Holiday Special! What was your favorite or oddest Star Wars/X-wing related gift you’ve received?

Today we are giving our opinions on the Last Jedi and Our opinions on how the on screen ships were translated into the game.

It's finally here everyone! In collaboration with Mynock Squadron Podcast, the Carolina Krayts, and many others...the thing we've been working on for over 5 months.

We proudly present to the X-wing community a new alternative format for the game we all love:

X-wing Objectives

In 2012 Fantasy Flight Games created the Star Wars X-Wing Miniatures Game. Its strong and unique mechanics coupled with the power of childhood nostalgia has made it one the most popular miniatures game in the world. However, after 5 years and over 12 Waves worth of ships, the “Standard” competitive format has begun to show some weaknesses. The primary win condition for years was to destroy all of your opponent’s ships, but now with so many cards and combinations available there are more win conditions that make the game less enjoyable. These include having a single, expensive, and unkillable ship win when time is up or staying in your corner the entire game and winning on a Final Salvo tie breaker.

The X-Wing Objective Format was created by a large number of members from the X-Wing Community in a massive collaborative effort. Months of testing went into creating six objectives that have alternative win conditions. The hope was to eliminate some of the negative play experiences and get us back to the kinds of dogfights that leave us cheering and excited.

We also sought out to create a format that would not only appeal to casual players but also be viable as a tournament format

Please download & print all the materials as needed and enjoy this new format. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.

Enjoy!

We take a look at early regional results and brainstorm what might make each wave 12/13 ships viable. Also a very important Patreon announcement is included at the start of the show.
