What do you THINK will be at Gencon? (for XWING)

I think they will have the Imperial Epic ships

(pretty obvious)

I think they will have a third faction

(Less so now I saw Armada, but there has been a lot of card art lately)

I think they will have some Wave 5 ships because of the sneak peeks last night

Please DONT post what you WANT/DON'T WANT just what you THINK will be there and don't spam it up with no I don't want that just what you THINK will be there.

Yes.

No.

Maybe.

Prequel ships!

For most to least likely:

A presentation on "where is X-Wing going, now that Armada is coming" outlining the future of the game, possibly hinting at further aces pack and other expansions

Limited stock sale of Rebel Aces and Wave 5

(they were able to produce a run for the preview tournaments before the full blown retail release)

Still in, the reveal of an Imperial Epic Ship, maybe (but just maybe) two

(they have to close the balance gap in the Epic format if they are serious about competetive Epic Play)

A presentation for full campaign expansion, possibily as tie-in to Armada

(What X-Wing currently lacks is system to set up non-ship specific campaigns; both the CR90 and GR75 campaigns were playable only with their respecitve ship)

I would say we would see the Imperial Epic ships plus having preview copies of Rebel Aces there on hand. Wave 5 Ships should be on display there as well, though I doubt you'll be able to buy them

Should be great, sorry I can't be there!

Release of Rebel Aces

Display of Two Epic Imperial ships

Display of Wave 5

That is all.

I think they've spoiled all this wave 5 stuff and the base game of Armada for a reason.

I predict we'll see 1 or 2 Imperial ships (We don't know for sure if it's 1 or two... could be just 1 for now). and I also predict we'll see some spoilers for the "Wave 1" expansions for Armada. I'd bet we'll see squadron packs or something similar to that.. nothing TOO impressive.

I also expect to see something about a third faction, now that we've got that new fighter spoiled in the artwork for wave 5.

Here is my imperial huge ship prediction:

Gozanti Carrier, can physically hold TIE Fighters (2?) and deploy them as actions, take them back and repair them. It comes with a new TIE Fighter model with new pilot cards.

In terms of likeliness:

Armada demo/display: high

Rebel Aces: high

Imperial huge ship or ships: medium/high

Wave 5 ships demo/display: medium

Wave 6 hints: low

Third Faction: almost zero

Oh man I completely forgot about the Rebel Aces - I think these are a for sure at GenCon.

Wave 5 - not so much for sale

and i think they will have everything else for demoing. (armada, wave 5, more huge ships and possibly some announcement for wave 5.5? or at least where the game is heading)

Yeah, I could see Rebel aces for sale, W5 on display, and a wave 5.5 announcement. Whether that comes in terms of huge imps (with support cards for regular play) or as a Imp Aces 2 set (though they better call it something better than Aces 2), I don't know.

What would be nice would be another counter to turrets. They have outmaneuver, but that's the only thing, and for 3 points, is kinda situational. It'd be nice to have the reverse of that, 3pt EPT "when outside of the attackers primary arc, roll 1 additional defense die." Or better yet, reduce the attack power of the attacker by 1. It would get all of these imp players to stop QQing over turrets, and move the QQing on to "I have to choose between VI and (unnamed but described above) WHY CAN'T I HAVE BOTH!"

Imperial Huge Ships

Rebel Aces and Wave 5 for sale in limited quantities

Wave 6 announced

We already know that armada is on demo. The article says as much at the end.

Bantha-Flavored Doritos. You heard it hear first.

3rd faction will be Voltron.

3rd faction will be Voltron.

Well, I guess I got that wrong.

Voltron could still be a title for one of the Z-95's
