I love that the combat dice system offers depth and also avoids book-keeping and rules tracking that would happen if every unit had separately tracked guns, missiles, etc.
Now to start buying everything...
Heavy Laser Cannons. Keep two B-Wings near the back of your forces. When you're close enough to engage, have them both angle diagonally inward so they can overlap fields of fire.
Ibtisam is pretty awesome with HLC and PTL.

Fire Control System - after you attack, get a free target lock! - is pretty cool, too.

Now to frantically unbox before my gf realizes how much all this cost
Burn the receipt. It's the only way to be sure. Leave no traces.

I'd also like to see some funkier missiles in one of the expansions to give Bombers and A-wings a small boost. In lore A-wings are supposed to have fantastic short range sensor jamming and even have the ability to fire in the rear arc. Ah if only. They are by far my favourite ship after Interceptors.

Though I thought it only allowed them to aim up and down by 45 degrees, which would not have an effect on a 2d field like this game, and not a full 180.

Hit me up on BoardGameArena! User: Loaded D1
I just bought (and repainted) an A-wing and used it to good effect in its first game in three ways: running into the enemy ships and messing up their formations, dropping 4 damage from Cluster Missiles to take down a Bounty Hunter, and being the target of the last enemy ship while Han took him out. They're fragile but they've got the maneuverability to get where they need to be.
But then I will probally get a few more x wings
The Title card allowing systems upgrades for the A-wing would be fantastic. It would still be as fragile as an asthmatic Tie but with the tools to do any job with the right upgrades. I love them even with all their flaws.
As to the 'firing backwards' thing, it's mentioned in some of WEG early Star Wars RPG books and also the DK Star Wars cross sections book (2007). There may be other sources but my Star Wars knowledge is less than stellar. This from the DK book.
Not turret fire as such, more a 90 degree fire arc to the rear with it's primary 2 dice weapons. Overpowered at current costs?
I still wish I had friends I could play with to justify owning this game.
GG, have you checked your local gaming store to see if they have a night where they play this?

so I would go get your friends interested in the game if I were you
I don't have a local gaming store. The closest one to me is 150 miles away.
Well the obvious answer is to open one.
I have thought of it. There is a perfect place in town that used to be a Christian book store that if I had the money I would buy in a heart beat. But I have no money, no credit, and no way of building my dream.
What did they mess up? cause this video makes this game look awesome and I wanna buy it at PAX EAST

Still got one more X-wing, a HWK-290 and a YT-1300 to round out my current Rebel ships.
I'm thinking of picking up another A-wing soon to take a more refined crack at the prototype color scheme.
A list of things, should you be of the gifting persuasion
sick brah
I want to do up my rebel ships with a Green accent paint job but I doubt I could get them looking this good.
The Division, Warframe (XB1)
GT: Tanith 6227
Heavy Laser Cannon 7
Omicron Group Pilot — Lambda-Class Shuttle 21
Gunner 5
Darth Vader 3
"Backstabber" — TIE Fighter 16
Academy Pilot — TIE Fighter 12
Strat is to position the Lambda and Firespray on opposite sides of the map and have them move to focus fire from long-range while the TIEs run interference. Either the opponent deals with the TIEs first and gets chewed up at range 3 by the big 'uns or they try to dash in to hit them and the TIEs chew on their butts. Biggest problem is the Lambda's lack of maneuverability, but as it's meant to slowly kill itself to inflict maximum damage I can accept that, plus putting an Engine upgrade on it means I couldn't run the second TIE.
And a Rebel list that I haven't gotten to try yet because I need more A-Wings:
Ion Cannon Turret 5
Nien Nunb 1
Green Squadron Pilot — A-Wing 19
Swarm Tactics 2
Concussion Missiles 4
Green Squadron Pilot — A-Wing 19
Swarm Tactics 2
Concussion Missiles 4
Green Squadron Pilot — A-Wing 19
Swarm Tactics 2
Concussion Missiles 4
Roark sits back and gives one of the A-Wings 12 Pilot Skill, and then they all spread the love amongst each other. They blow their missiles and hopefully kill some targets and then use their superior maneuverability to get into flanking shots at Range 1, still shooting before anyone else. Roark is the lynchpin to the whole build obviously, but since he can sit back at Range 3 for his ability it's not quite a glass jaw.

Very little of actual importance. The game plays pretty much like they were showing it.

That's a pretty cruel gift. He basically got you a monthly bill for Christmas.
Clearly the only option at this point is to give someone else all your X-wing stuff.
Now, it'll be a sacrifice on my part, but I'll volunteer to bear this burden.
Nice, now you just need to set aside your paycheck for the next month so you can build into that *first step* and deploy after your army!
