Stumbled on this over at Kotaku.com

MNC Dover did the Death Star escape using X-Wing game play format and cards, it is very cool how he does it.

Hah! That's cool

That's awesome, hopefully they get around to the deathstar run

awesome

Best thing EVER!!!!!!!!!

Is it weird that the scene was twice as intense for me to watch with the X-Wing add-ons and the Falcon taking hits like that? I was anguished every time Chewie rolled no evades.

Probably the most excitement I've ever felt watching that scene...

Very nicely done.

Very cool. I noticed the TIEs didn't seem to focus at all. Their loss!

I read the title of the other thread on this subject and thought "Anakin *clearly* rolled a 1." Then I realized we were talking about X-Wing rules. And dogfights.

EDIT: Did Luke roll a natural 20? Did he just crit the Death Star? Who has a "blow this space station up" crit card anyway?

This.Was.Awesome.

Hello everyone, MNC Dover here!

Glad to see you all enjoyed the video. I put a lot of time and effort into creating and am overjoyed with the positive feedback. Looks like I may have to whip up the Battle of Yavin after all.

And thanks to LordCole for linking my video.

I hope he does every fight scene from the movie!

Very cool video.

Has to be asked though why Expose? Ship should have been Evading, also where did the stress come from?

****. I stumbled across this and was about to start a new thread here with the link. Good thing I checked first!

This is the coolest thing I've seen in a while. Full of awesome-ness.

Wow, this is so awesome! Thank you - great work

Truly made my day so you are very welcome.

Fantastic!

Well that clearly shows why we need to ban the falcon *runs*

Yeah that was cool.

Great Stuff

Best. Video. Ever. Except for the fact that the Falcon won.

Yeah, this was really awesome! A great find!

Epic and Exciting! Thank you LordCole for linking and Thank You MNCDover for creating it! I hope to see more!

Very cool video.

Has to be asked though why Expose? Ship should have been Evading, also where did the stress come from?

I chose Expose because I wanted 4 extra points to make the fight 56 vs 56 in cost. Early on, I thought I'd have the Falcon use it as an Action to attack during the fight.

During the creation of the video, it became obvious that implementing subtle mechanics like Actions and card abilities wouldn't work out given the pacing of the scene. I mean, there are a few scenes where the fire/dodge rolls come really fast and a few where I didn't even bother adding them.

So about halfway through the video, I realized that Expose was going to be sitting there useless and I should have used the Shield upgrade instead. Then people might have said my Shield count was off, so I just let it go. Besides, we've all had games where an upgrade card sits there unused.

As for the stress token, Luke was clearly stressed out about the TIEs attacking too fast and is overjoyed/destressed when he takes one out. It was more of a joke than anything else.

Other subtle note was the Falcon taking it's first Hull damage with the interior explosion scene with 3PO/R2. I figured that sailed my most people.

Looks like I should start prescripting Yavin now.

I laughed my ass off when Luke stressed. I thought it was perfect.

<troll>But I don't understand... How could the Falcon survive withouth 3PO?</troll>
