Just wanted to put together a consolidated link for people to go to see what X-Wing events were happening at New Game in Town in DeKalb.

We are west of Chicago by about 60 miles and South of Rockford by about 30 miles.

Coming in May we have some exciting stuff happening...

At the end of May we are hosting the Assault on Imdaar Alpha Event.

Cost: $5

Finally a few players have been meeting every Thursday at New Game in Town to get our X-Wing on. So if you are in the area stop on by after 6:00 pm for a game.

Just a reminder Thursday night at New Game in Town is miniature night and there will be 3-4 people playing some X-Wing. If we get more numbers we may shift to a different night of the week for X-Wing only.

For those looking to attend the Assault on Imdaar Alpha at New Game in Town on Saturday, May 31st please remember to bring figures to build both a rebel and imperial list should you make the final top two table.

In this event the top two players will face off for a final match. The top player will choose to be rebel or imperial and then build a 100 list that contains both of that factions new ships. The second place player will be the opposite faction and will be build their 100 point list that contains the remaining two ships.

It should be a great time and we hope to see a lot of people there. If you are planning on heading to DeKalb for this event drop us a line so we can have an idea of how many are coming so we can set the store appropriately!

Just a reminder about our event on Saturday...

Northern Illinois University graduation is that day so if you are heading to DeKalb west on I-88 it is best to get off at the Peace Road exit and take Rt. 38 (Lincoln Highway) west to the store. The Annie Glidden exit will be mobbed.

Those coming from Rockford taking Rt. 39 down... Going east on Rt. 38 may run into heavy traffic at the Convo Center and exiting I-88 at Annie Glidden will be backed up. Best bet is to exit at Rt. 64 and head west to North First Street and then take Rt. 38 to the store.

If you have any questions or need more alternate routes please PM me here!

Come on out on Saturday, June 27th for a new X-wing flying experience.

The format for this tourney will be a standard 100 point list of Empire, Rebels, or Scum. However each field you will play on will have a specific theme and effect. So you could be on a field filled with Ion storms that give you an Ion token if you pass through them or the ship graveyard as you fly among the wrecks of corvettes and transports.

In addition any ships destroyed will leave a debris field.

Prizes will be store credit and other goodies!

Details...
