Have you seen this man?

Dear Fantasy Flight Games (and fellow X-Wing mini's fans),

Greetings and thanks :D for creating such an awesome game .

When I first thought of "Epic Battles" that emulate X-Wing Miniatures, from the Star Wars movies, I first thought of the battle of when the Millennium Falcon escaped the Death Star (Episode IV - A New Hope) and had Luke and Han in the Falcon 's quadruple gun turrets battling 4x TIE Fighters with Chewie at the helm. I was happy to see Luke Skywalker as an available crew member but I was saddened :( to see that Han Solo is not available as a crew member. Is this possibly in the works? I was glad to see C-3PO & R2-D2 now available with the up and coming Tantive IV expansion but I think it would be really cool to see Solo maning a quadruple blaster turret in the Falcon .

I just made this card as an example, by no means am I any kind of expert - just thought it would speak better for me. Thanks for reading and considering :)

A Han Solo card would be awesome!!!

First, welcome to the boards!

And yes, Han should always shoot first.

Forget Roark or Greedo. :D

Second, welcome to the boards! I'm sure you'll find us friendly and welcoming. Let us know if you have any questions.

It is currently unlikely that we will get Han Solo as crew in any of the announced upcoming releases. We are pretty certain we won't see him in either of the large ships and we certainly won't see him in Wave 4. If we do see him as crew, it will be in the future. In the big ship releases, we are already getting a lot of named crew, such as C3P0 and R2D2 and Princess Leia. We don't have a card at all for Kenobi, so there are other major figures that we should see first.

As for your recommendation, it's a bit high priced. 9 is so expensive. I would also remove the text about further weapon attacks this round. It's on Gunner and Luke to make sure you can't just attack until you hit. Otherwise, it could be interesting but there are a few issues I see with it immediately. It would certainly need tweaking and playtesting.

Sheep can hiss?

Don't you mean "bleat"? :P

Cheers and thanks for the feedback :)

Here's a newly edited version of the "Han Solo Crew Member" Upgrade Card

Initially, I had 9 as the cost as I thought that Luke Skywalker's crew card (of 7 cost) was a good starting point, and then I thought of "Veteran Instincts" sort of adding to the cost. Truthfully, I was kind of squeamish of the cost too - thanks for the help Sable! :D

Welcome! Enjoy your time here! Like the user name, and the Solo card. ^_^

I basically only run Imperial ships, but the idea of flying a Millennium Falcon with Chewie flying, while Luke and Han are "gunners..." Some good classic OT scenarios right there!!
