The intro… Hello! Welcome to this week’s blog! There just TWO WEEKS until the next store tournament at Firestorm Games in Newport! We have some tickets still available so if you fancy coming along and getting your hands on some of those sweet, sweet Holocron metal objective tokens as well as some alt arts and, just maybe, a BEAUTIFUL TIE Advanced x1 trophy (!), grab a ticket and come on down! A work in progress! Firestorm has free covered parking (well, it’s Tesco’s parking but we can use it too!) and there’s plenty of choices for food without going outside. Plus of course you’ll get to play X ..read more

The intro… Welcome to this week’s blog! I’ll start with ‘the usual’ by mentioning local tournaments! On the 26th of November we’ve got the last store tournament of the year at Firestorm Games in Newport! There’s TONS of prize support including alt arts, metal Holocron objective tokens and a trophy! You can get tickets from here and if you want more info or have any questions you can check out the Facebook event here. Then, on the 10th of December Firestorm Games in Cardiff have their Christmas store event (Christmas jumpers mandatory highly encouraged!). Tickets are available here and the Face ..read more

The intro… Welcome to this week’s blog! As the title implies, this blog is a bit of everything! Some Patreon news, a new release, a follow up to last week AND a game to discuss! We’d best get on with it! I’ll start with the Battle of Yavin release because it’ll be the shortest to cover. Why is that you ask? Well because I haven’t picked mine up yet! I’m getting it tomorrow (at time of publishing) and a few of us are planning to run the scenario at casual night so I’ll do more about it next week. In the meantime I’ve seen some posts about how it plays. If anyone has played it and has any tips ..read more

The intro… Welcome to this week’s blog! It’s going to be another slightly unusual one this week so I’ll get some of the housekeeping out of the way early! First up – tournaments! Like, almost? No? Not quite? Maybe the jousting. Less horses though I guess. In Newport we (that’s Exile Squadron at Firestorm Games Newport!) have got our next event on the 26th of November. We’ve got Louis Leong Holocron metal objective markers to give out, PLUS a trophy! Why would you NOT come?!? You can get tickets from here or check out the Facebook event for any other updates by clicking here! Firestorm in Cardi ..read more

The intro… Welcome to this week’s blog! There isn’t a huge amount going on in the world of X-Wing right now in terms of news I guess. I keep hearing that we may or may not be expecting a huge/reasonable/negligible points update when the Battle of Coruscant pack comes out next week. I guess at the very least there will be points releases for the new pilot cards so while it does make sense in a way, we’ve actually only had the current iteration of points for just over 4 months which isn’t really all that long. A t-shirt for this meta?! After discussing it with Steve Boulton at casual night last ..read more

The intro… Hello! Welcome to this week’s blog! Now if you’re thinking to yourself ‘hang on, I thought he said there wasn’t going to be a blog this week?!’ then you’re absolutely right, there wasn’t. I’ve just come back from 2 weeks on holiday in France (which was amazing, though I don’t recommend an Airbnb without a pool during a 35C+ heatwave!) and I knew I wasn’t going to have either time or content. Holiday was pretty hot. It turns out that while I was right about the time, I was wrong about the content. The build up to my holiday was SO bonkers busy that some X-Wing stuff stacked up in my ..read more

The intro… Welcome to this week’s blog! Life is finally feeling a little bit more normal after school holidays, our summer holiday, the XTC and more filling up my time and also my ‘brain space’ (for want of a better phrase!). The kids are back in school and our regular life routine kicks back in over the next week or so and while changing things up over the summer is always great (with late nights and impromptu days out), there’s definitely something to be said for getting back into the swing of things. And thankfully, regular X-Wing is part of that routine! Before I go any further though ther ..read more

The intro… Welcome to this week’s blog! There’s not really much in the way of general X-Wing news LAST SECOND EDIT!!! Crikey. Just as I’m getting ready to publish, AMG releases images from the upcoming Hotshots and Aces 2 pack which includes…. TYCHO CELCHU! AND CORRAN HORN IN AN X-WING… WITH THE FORCE!!!!! I grew up (ok, fine, turned 18-20ish) on the X-Wing Rogue Squadron books and having these things really connects me to Star Wars and pulls on my nostalgia very heavily. I really can’t wait for this pack to release! I’ll probably write a bit more on this next week once I’ve got my brain toge ..read more

The intro… Welcome to this week’s blog! I won’t lie, it’s been a very strange week. I’m sure pretty much everyone on the planet knows by now but last week the Queen died. I know not everyone is a huge fan of the royal family (I’m pretty neutral myself) but she was a very remarkable woman whose reign not only last more than any other in history but arguably saw the fastest changes in culture and society that there has ever been. With so many having lived their lives with just one monarch on the throne, I really can’t see that being the case in the lifetime of my children and it just feels a bi ..read more

The intro… Welcome to this week’s blog! Once again there seems to be a lot going on but also I had a couple of days away on holiday very last minute. It was GREAT but unfortunately it also means that I’ve had a little less time to get the blog written so apologies in advance if any of this seems rushed! Right, let’s get on with it then! The next Exile Squadron tournament at Firestorm Games in Newport IS THIS COMING SATURDAY!!! There are a couple of tickets still available if you’d like to come along. For those who are already signed up you need to get registered on the Tabletop.To event as so ..read more
