[@Devgal89]

This looks great. I think the main reason I don't play X-Wing more often is the setup and clean up. If All I need is a dozen cards, some ships and a mat and we can start that is GREAT

[@andrewfrederick3375]

I don't mind these new pilot cards, because of games like Imperial Assault where a character/unit just comes as one card. But list building and customization in X-Wing has always been so fun and I don't want to lose that.

[@bardylon]

I’m all for these types of releases. I’m not really into the tournament scene and have always preferred to play thematic style games so this pack ticks all the boxes for me!

[@casonwatkins3781]

I feel like this a scenario that should have been released in the first few waves of the game. Better late than never.

[@russellharrell2747]

‘Better late than never’ That’s been the mode for this game the whole time.

[@bobafett2243]

Agreed.

[@brianlamb8579]

Seconded

[@daniellemorales2216]

I like this format. I agree with you I hate organizing and having to search through decks to build out when I just want to have a fun time game. I think the standardized load outs are a great way to reduce the complexity and bring more people in to the game. I'm excited to play them

[@LumieAU]

new xwing player and age of sigma player joined your discord a few weeks back loving the community you have in there keep it up mate!

[@shadowhunter0176]

It's about time they do "historical " scenarios. The movies and novels have plenty of space for adaption to xwing, eg the pursuit of the millennium falcon in the asteroid field.

[@kevinaneel]

A jedi's gotta do what a jedi's gotta do, so now Vader I'm coming for you.

[@Crabbok]

Yes!

[@thatblastedsamophlange]

I'd forgo the battle of Coruscant and would like to see a take down the Malevolence scenario. The only issue I see is that you have to own a fair number of ships already to run this? So, while the cards are new player friendly, the pack in and of itself isn't so much. Of course I would have loved to have seen Evaan Verlaine as one of the pilots, but oh well.

[@graydizzle8499]

This looks like a lot of fun! Im glad we are getting new forms of content. Thanks for sharing this info!

[@justinmeyers5535]

I’m loving all of the legion and x/wing content AMG is pushing out. I’m also off of social media you’re my only source of information. Love it bro, keep it up.

[@punxu9ted]

I can not wait for this! Love old X-Wing but this is something refreshing and streamlined you can help with new players or just setup a quick game

[@Afroninja52]

Really glad to see they are still doing things for x wing and not just leaving us in the wind.

[@skaven131313]

I don't like the changes to the ship abilities. It goes to the lack of consistency on AMG's part. Also the fact that the TIE's missing shield upgrades....

[@NicholasBrown-og_frenzy_ix]

Thinking about getting back into X-Wing. This might be why I pull the trigger on finally playing again.

[@LudditesRUs]

Thanks for the update! Looking forward to more play time!

[@LanceDean1981]

I am excited for these scenario packs to come out! The standard loadouts will motivate me to play more because I won't need to hunt upgrade cards down. One card per ship and I'm off. Love this idea!

[@The8bitSammich]

Well, I love this. Like, a lot. I play primarily with friends who don't own X-Wing stuff of their own and this will make setup/play really slick!

[@XBrycent]

Might have to pick one of these up to try em out.

[@moemothmann6760]

Crabbok getting excited with Backstabber and Dark Curse in the set. I feel you.

[@w4yne01a2]

new porkins ability, where after set number of turns, he just automatically yeets himself..

[@mjtysor]

This is probably my most anticipated expansion since they announced the Trident would have a co-op mode! I love that AMG is creating more kitchen table friendly content.

[@Shrackhyde]

Can't wait to see these in play!

[@MrZrbrownie]

I've always missed the scenarios they released with most of the 1.0 waves. This seems really cool!

[@A-Zetah]

Man! You predicted this somehow! Quickbuild cards ready to play with stats and abilities printed. Interesting! Hehe greets!

[@BUChiAlpha]

Excited about new ways to play with the the same miniatures I already have. Standard dog fights will never die. This just adds new gameplay. It's still about flying well.

[@The1Flying]

Great video man :)

[@WRIGHTKY]

Looking forward to seeing this!

[@neffyboy]

I agree that the cards artwork is beautiful.

[@CanistSyaoran]

Aw yeah! I love scenarios! Me and my buddies have doing our own due to lack of content.

[@1shorinryukarate]

Can't wait to get mine.

[@darrenmcnally82]

This looks like a great fun casual game day. Really looking forward to seeing what else AMG are bringing to this game and others

[@sgtad1]

Hey guys very new to x wing and loving it. I got myself a core set and skystrike. But I’m missing the little connector piece for the movement dial? Any suggestions having a hard time finding the replacement parts. Thanks! Love your videos too man they brought me into the game!

[@casiman300]

I'm new!! and I like the content of your videos!

[@traderghost]

Yes! This is the way to go! Scenario packs are always good!

[@patriarch7237]

Looks really good. The nice thing about the cards is it looks like they are 2.0 compatible.

[@parasonicmo1337]

I really want to get into Star Wars Legion and your videos are great to understand what is coming to the game and how it changes gameplay.

[@petervonbleichert9688]

Exciting. Starting with XWing, went off to Legion and Armada. All these new expansions and sets are reeling me back into the cockpit.

[@baldheimlich]

These look like alot of fun! Excited to see how they interact with the gamestate

[@PatrioticGinger1776]

Just got into X wing with some buddies, looking forward to the new content!

[@HeroOfTheWeb]

Call signs you may remember: Nast butler Swollen ostrich “I’m ending this transmission.”

[@ge_hoff4181]

Haven't played X swing in a while. All these new Things coming out has been teasing me. Looking forward to Dunking toes back in the game!

[@jonathanmartin3767]

When the points come out for these "pre-built" pilot cards, they need to remain at the same current points. Luke is currently at 6. If he is 5 points, why would you ever take standard Luke? If 7, you wouldnt take BoY Luke. This is another way AMG is painting themselves into a corner.

[@Zanollo5]

AMG already gives a shit for squad build, Dude.

[@timunderbakke8756]

I guarantee this Luke will be cheaper than standard Luke. They’re going to pimp the new product however they can. They might “realize” the “mistake” on a later point balance, but it’s totally happening to push sales. When they fix it, there’s going to be a new card pack to push those sales.

[@spcwolf]

Love what you do for the community

[@garethhudson3142]

Super excited for this

[@noahfronapfel5203]

This is gonna be so fun, I can’t wait!

[@mattchristensen7271]

I agree with you, I really like packs like this but if you use the logic of what ships "are" available, then B wings, Tie Defenders, A wings U wings, etc could be in this pack.

[@SleepingDuck84]

All the new stuff that AMG is bringing out is really making me get on the ball with legion and now X-wing! Oh my! So much to do!

[@Zeoinx69]

Hell, it's about time they give more attention to one of the biggest battles in starwars.

[@ACPritchard]

I still have time and I’m a subscriber! Woot 😊

[@Salty_Sassenach]

I've just started X-wing & I'm slowly collecting Rebels & Scum & Villainy ships.

[@scubaguymi]

I've always preferred scenario play. I've played multi-player campaign days that were epic fun. This is the first thing from AMG that I'm excited about.

[@donlovejoy1805]

Wonder how long before they drop they drop the scenarios and just do pilot packs.

[@mikea5562]

Hi. Wow do like the new pilot cards I think it will get me back into playing the game again. I hope they do all the cards like that.

[@randybookman]

I already have a 3d printed deathstar with death star scenario rules. I'm curious to see how this plays

[@andrewscholl6428]

Looks promising. Might be a way for me to get back into Xwing

[@mathieubarbeau5347]

Hope to get some thing like that for Armada!

[@joelsmith7078]

As a new player, I'm excited.

[@BraveBlowfishify]

I think its good for new comers and vets alike to vary or in some cases just flat out improve certain pilots.

[@bryonsturm3753]

Like this idea, give usage to ships that lots of people may own

[@BoldAndSpicy]

I had considered learning x-wing until they did the rules changes, but this might make me consider picking it up for casual play at least

[@joekal08]

What do you think about adding to x wing more epic ships? Rebels: hammerhead / Pelta class frigate / Raider class (Corvus) Imperial: Arquitents Scum: ZH-40 tribune freighter /Fenner Shand Ship Mandalorian: teroch-class mandalorian cruiser Republic: Consular class cruiser /arquitents Separatist: hardcell class transport / C-9979 Landing Crft

[@republiccommando1463]

I really like the idea of historical scenarios. It kinda makes me want to do alternate history campaigns.

[@Chozo_hybrid]

I like this, card packs and such being something AMG are keen to do will be great for the longevity of the game.

[@michaelcacchillo7003]

Hope this will respark interest in X-wing in my area

[@Ironbudha23]

That's a pretty cool scenario pack.

[@scruffysmovies8295]

I’m still really new to the game. Just got myself an A-Wing yesterday as my first purchase after the core set. So I’m not used to the points system yet. It should be a *little* easier to learn how it works for me

[@eonrier9469]

any news on when some of the larger ships will be getting re relised ?

[@nicogs2207]

I don't play X-Wing yet cause its hard to find in here. Hope the stock gets better soon with these new sets!

[@victorherbiet5543]

This isn't a new, or particularly good idea. FFG had done a Battle of Yavin thematic tournament format and it wasn't a big hit. I just don't see how a trench run will work well in this game. Flying a ship straight from end to end of a mat will take 3-4 rounds. Less if you're flying Vader with afterburners. What it looks like to me is AMG releasing new content while ignoring the need for reprints and avoiding designing new ships. Good luck doing an Escape from Hoth scenario with no Tie Bombers or Rebel Transports.

[@boundlessaether392]

The reprints will most likely be done for 2023.

[@gpapa7395]

I liked the scenarios that used to come with the bigger expansions it was a nice way to mix it up on occasion. I don’t know if I’d want to buy one though…

[@ddobrien1]

I can't wait to see those Death Star Trench Tokens!

[@GenMagnus]

Something like this could potentially get me back into the game.

[@marlos199]

Love this

[@stevemerrifield5580]

I'm a casual gamer and sticking with 2.0 for now, but quick builds are the way to go for me. List building with the risk of points changes are a pain. Prefer to set and forget and just have fun playing.

[@timunderbakke8756]

This feels like a hybrid of quick builds and points and…. Yeah, I think the standard quickbuild does it better

[@stevemerrifield5580]

@@timunderbakke8756 I like that everything is all on one card, but I've just printed all the quick build cards with all pilot and upgrade texts on them from infinite arena for 2.0, so that meets my needs.

[@Palmerrip]

I want to know more about Armada to be honest. What is new with that? Are they bringing out more ships and campaigns to the Civil War? How about some tie-ins with Legion, or RP elements? Like a created commander, hero or Admiral?

[@spoonbott3116]

I agree that these oversized cards are so much easier to deal with than digging through binders

[@tjdoc143]

Hol Okand is Gold Six, he was Dutch Vander’s wingman. Sorry if someone beat me to it!

[@chrisperez4694]

Not sure how I feel about this. Will see when it does come out. Should be interesting.

[@robertosaborido9874]

Is this pack just for 1vs1 or does it have multiplayer?

[@inkedvader813]

knock him out the box fist bump for sure, MC Chris just started his last tour, gonna have to catch some fetts vett also

[@BenSmithninjaben]

I wish I could see a sped up video of the artist creating the card artwork

[@BlackGeary]

It is ideal for quick play, I love it! One thing bothers me though - will I need 4 Y-wing at once to play? I can use my Scum figurines for this, but it is not very friendly for new players...

[@HeroOfTheWeb]

👊🏻 knock ‘em out the box, Luke!

[@metalplayer1111]

Why the hell do those "canon-accurate" scenarios have TIE Interceptors at the Battle of Yavin? And why do they have shields? Thats one of the things i dislike the most about AMGs treatment of X-wing, the disregard of canon ship statistics and seemingly random selection of upgrade slots on a lot of ships.

[@Zanollo5]

Because they don't like X-Wing or Star Wars. Just selling cardboard for stupid people

[@HeroOfTheWeb]

REEEEEEE

[@toewoe]

Because interceptors could've been there, there was a lot more going on than just the trench run with Luke. Additionally, from a gameplay perspective, the regular tie and the tie advanced are not a particularly interesting team composition and it adds some variability to the gameplay. It may not be exactly what happened in the movie, but if it was then the rebels would win every time. It doesn't need to be perfect. I do think it's strange that the interceptor has a shield, part of that could be the prototype aspect but it is probably more so the fact that if an interceptor gets a bad roll it blows up in one atrack and that just isn't fun for anybody, and it adds another point of health that can't be critically damaged, so it may not be lore accurate but it is much better gameplay-wise, and it is much easier to add a shield than to add another ability that says your first point of damage cant be critical.

[@HeroOfTheWeb]

@@toewoe you’re responding to the kind of person who doesn’t think Star Wars should ever evolve. I agree with what you’re saying though!

[@ruadhancohen3378]

I wonder what the other packs will be.

[@gmxealot6236]

I very strongly don't want everything to become quick build based as the game moves forward, but this pack looks great

[@urloony]

This is an excellent idea for casual players like myself.

[@cosmo_cat64]

Once again youtube does not understand how things work,it says you are playing cyberpunk in this video lol and also have you managed to get yourself the clone z-95s and the rogue class fighters? Been looking forward to your unboxings on those new sets but this is also an interesting new way to sell x wing product

[@kingbobb007]

Will other factions be able to play the scenario? Playing “what if” is great, but so is playing with your favorite faction.

[@timunderbakke8756]

Yeah you’ll need to wait for the next “thematic” event that hopefully includes your faction. Good luck!

[@lyianx]

"Unique" You mean 'Limited'. Overall, i give this a solid "Meh". We'll see how well it integrates into 2E (2.0) as i dont play 2.5

[@thomaswilliams5005]

I wish I could have gotten into X wing when it was new

[@Bennjammiinn]

You didn’t mention the fact that the empire tie interceptor has a FO-only talent in Fanatic. I wonder if cross-faction add-ons will continue in these self contained builds

[@Ymjynu]

I think something like this can be really cool, I’ve always loved building thematic lists. But I am concerned about these being standard legal. Especially since Iden has a first order exclusive upgrade (fanatical). It just breaks the rules of the game. Also if you look at the back of the box, the Iden there doesn’t have a shield but the one they show do. Something interesting I noticed. Update: Looking at it again, it’s actually not the first order upgrade fanatical. It is called fanatic and is based on being damaged instead of not having shields. Also Luke’s X-Wing doesn’t mention anything about S-foils, so I wonder if he can use them or not?

[@josiahneese348]

I noticed the same, but I think that AMG is keeping a close eye on what they're doing, especially if the intent was to make these standard legal. Even in the case of Fanatic on Iden, they gave her a shield to bring her in line with the shielded First Order pilots. These should (theoretically) be even more easy to balance with their fixed upgrades, but that remains to be seen.

[@MrMorvana]

Don't see it as an existing card, but like a second pilote ability (you can't change it).

[@Ymjynu]

@@josiahneese348 I see what you mean, by adding the shield they would have an easier time balancing it because they’ve balanced things like it before. Still does feel weird running it and I wonder what this means for the future with standard load outs

[@Ymjynu]

@@MrMorvana okay, if anything this would be like a “configuration” that instead of changing the ship ability will now change the pilot ability. Kinda like what happened to Vader

[@jasonprince8016]

Thanks - I like this trend

[@gonzo26nix]

while I'm leery of some of the changes that AMG is doing, the new ships and sets all seem to be great

[@lloydpowell5683]

Oooo a piece of candy….another a piece of candy…

[@donaldhouf8377]

Do we think these new scenarios will lead us to solo play opportunities?

[@GeekRevan]

im excited regardless

[@jason-sp8nb]

This game is still going I'm shocked thought they ended it it's a good thing 😲
