X-Wing: Twofer

Cancellations! Of normal social events, anyway. Which meant Kas and I squeezed an extra game of X-wing into our week. 

With a very delayed write up!

And then, some weeks later, a second outing, replete with the new Wave 11 ships.

New toys!

Two reports for the price of one, then!

X-Wing: Original Trilogy

Want to spice up your X-life?

Try a three-way!

For all you Fett-Solo-Calrissian shippers out there.

Squadron Leaders Kraken, Kasfunatu and myself (I'm Stylus, how do you do?) were all free for a Skype battle one evening, and so we decided to try our a three-player scenario (I believe it was a modified version of "Mission 12: Bounty Hunt").

We decided (hello, Kraken here) to limit our points a little, just to keep things quick and nasty. To add to this, Bounty Hunt had some special bonuses we could use, one-offs, to give a ship various short-lived abilities like 'shoot before everyone regardless'. I forget when and where they were used, later on, but they were both potent and entertaining to use. 

This is Kas reporting for duty. I'm not sure they added to the game and I know we played them wrong - which was more my fault than anything of not explaining when they should be played - we all played the same, but they weren't as tactical or reactionary as they could have been. 

70pts each, Scum vs Empire vs Rebels - let's take to the skies!

Endor The Road vs Decistress

Squadrons Take Flight!
It's All-Skype Fight Night!

Stylus here - the shield is still up, but the text is still plain.

I, Kas, am back after a Xwing enforced drought based on work and holiday and looking forward to a good game. Whilst I was away the Amazon fairies delivered a new toy that I was eager to try out...

Black TIE Ball vs Hoth Sthuff

The Snow Is White!
It's All-Skype Fight Night!

Stylus here, plain as the snow fields of Hoth.

Kraken here in bold. Also in Black TIE. 

I'm a LIAR vs BEKASZ I'm Worth it

A Hive of Scum and Villainy, all right - 

It's All-Skype Fight Night!

Following on from last week's session Kraken and I jumped on to skype to battle amongst the stars.

Empire: I’m a LIAr, it’s quite operational (emperor’s Lambda shuttle + royal guard Interceptor + TIE Advanced)

Scum: BeKASZ I'm Worth It (Kihraxz Fighter, Aggressor, StarViper, Z95)

True to his roots, as revealed last week, Kraken took the scum, and I rolled with the Empire.

Evening all - I shall be revealing the thought processes behind my moves in bold type. It'll be short, there isn't much going on in my old noggin as a general rule.

Stay On Target....

Games are getting bigger as, thanks to Amazon, so do the options.

I Got A Gooood Feeling About This...

With a rapidity limited only by the speed of an Amazon courier, our little group has taken to X-Wing. Yesterday afternoon, Kasfunatu (here in bold) was kind enough to put me through my paces.

My pleasure - and if you find yourself with 30mins free over the weekend, I've left it all setup for another bout.

I assume proxies are cool, right?

Without further ado, let's lock those S-foils into attack position!

First Step into a Larger World

Not that step, maybe.

After a brief exchange in a previous post, and an Amazon voucher for £25 sitting on my desk: I found myself ordering the XWing core set... which thanks to Prime, arrived that day and I could read the rules last night (then I found the rules are posted on FFG's site for anyone to read!).
