I now have over 100 points of both Empire and Rebellion fighters for X-Wing, with all of the second wave ships on pre-order. It's a tight and fun game, easily played in less than two hours at tournament size (100 points). It's also not too expensive, the starter set is around £25, which will get you 2 Tie Fighters and an X-Wing. A typical 100 point force would be 3 X-Wings and 5 Tie fighters, at around £10 per ship. While that may sound expensive but is very reasonable for what you get, each ship comes with enough cards to use 3-6 different pilots (each with a different point cost) as well as different upgrade cards and skill cards. Ships are pre-painted, and usable straight from the box (probably better paint jobs than I could actually manage). You can buy a tournament size Alliance fleet for £30. I'm more than happy to supply both sides for an evening, as when not being used it's going to be taking pride of place on display in the living room of the new house!

Excellent Chris, will take you up on a game once you are settled in the new place mate as I like the look of this game.

Martin Hatt and I played this today at the bunkers last Sunday meeting, as well as two games of Napoleon at War. Neither of us had played the game before, yet we still managed three games in just over an hour and a half, two scenarios from the rulebook and one 50 point straight up fight.
It's so simple, I could start teaching this to my boy already!

My sister brought my Birthday present over today, two months late due to the FFG delay in shipping, but there we are. The Millenium Falcon is now the proud centre piece of my collection.
Anyone fancy a game soon?

My collection has rapidly grown rather large, in that i'll soon have every ship produced, as well as many in multiples.
Armada will soon be coming out and i'll be getting that as well!
