X Wing is no longer being developed, please keep this in mind before jumping into this hobby.

Something to keep in mind: since Asmodee transferred handling to the game to Atomic Mass Games, there have been a number of rules changes that are colloquially known as "2.5" rather than second edition, but is officially still part of second edition and is referred to as such by AMG. The rulebook you get in the core set is very different to the one you download off the website. For instance: obstacles are much more dangerous, like asteroids doing 1 damage automatically, with a die roll to see if you take another. Also, you can make attacks against enemies that you are in base contact with. And perhaps the most important part is that there are objectives in play that alter how you play each game. As such, I highly recommend discarding the printed rulebook and using the downloadable instead, as the rules changes are significant enough that it will cause confusion.

At 10:03, I don't believe you have to spend an action to have R2-D2 recover a shield. (There is no "Action: " ahead of his ability.)

Nice video. Warm regards, Rick.

Thanks. I'm ooking to start playing with my son. I ordered the 2nd edition core set. And looking at the local ads for used lots for sale. Does the Game Length (time) increase proportionately with the number of ships you add?

Great video, could yo also add one with the so called 2.5 rules?

Looks a bit different to when I would play, can the old models be used alongside gen 2?

Your local shop just recently stocked up? This video was posted four months ago too. With all the hush hush about Armada/X-Wing from AMG and Asmodee, the community here is wondering what is the state of the game. Are they developing new content or going to reprint current low stock? Is the license gone? Should I just not bother anymore? Wonder if your LGS has some insight? Does your LGS have an online store? Ship international?
