Big X-Wing News From GenCon: Big Ships!

Expansions for the Star Wars: X-Wing™ Miniatures Game are on their way according to Theology of Games as super-sized vessels enter the playing arena.

It seems that Fantasy Flight is coming out with some large rebel ships, which include the Tantive IV (a Rebel blockade runner), and the Rebel transport. These ships are massive, and EXPENSIVE! ($90 and $60, respectively.)

This is not, apparently, wave 4—that has yet to be announced.

They also announced two new modes of play: Epic and Campaign. The Epic gameplay will be just that: big maps with lots of ships and big point totals. This is the only way the big ships make and sense, as they just wouldn’t fit into the game currently. The FF folks were also quick to point out that this isn’t replacing anything; this is only an additional option for those who want to use those bigger ships.
