More news from Fantasy Flight Games about their upcoming miniatures game X-Wing.
From the website:
Several fighters have broken off from the main group. Come with me!” – Darth Vader, Star Wars: A New Hope
Now that we’ve previewed the fast-paced combat of X-Wing™, as well as its first wave of starfighters, and rules, we can explore some of the more advanced strategies that open up when you begin building larger squads.
The play experience from the Core Set is rich enough to reward players with hours upon hours of entertainment. Still, tournament players and others will be interested in the greater design flexibility that larger squadrons afford them, and the game permits an astounding range of possibilities with just a few starfighters.
In fact, the official X-Wing dogfight tournament rules limit players to 100 squad points, and while that number may seem large at first, you may be surprised how quickly you have to make difficult choices to keep your squadron at 100 points or below.
