Crazy idea... Squadron fighters for scaled down X-Wing

By Trevor Goodchild, in Star Wars: Armada

So had a random thought the other night about somehow using the Armada fighter minis to create a 'travel' version of Star Wars X-Wing...

There are many things that would need addressing, but the intent would be to create something more portable or something you can run on a smaller table.

Mostly just a rambling thought for amusement's sake. Lord only knows how impractical some aspects would be:

- create mini manoeuvre templates?

- use the full size templates, but the smaller minis give a better sense of scale for realistic weapon ranges and speed/distance covered?

- as if bumps aren't bad enough at full scale!

- use X-Wing bases?

Only a fanciful concept that made me think back to childhood and those mini-versions of full size boardgames (often magnetic!) for use in the back of the car on long road trips.

Great idea - that could be further developed I'm sure - but as miniature games go - X-Wing is mighty portable as it is really - I can fit 3 full squadrons, all cards, minis and tokens I need in my Feldherr Mini plus which is something like 12x8x8?
