There's something wrong with the Fantasy Flight news system. When I refresh, it'll show more sometimes and less sometimes.

Well they just posted an article about how the new edition of the Game of Thrones card game is being delayed by production issues, so at least we aren't the only ones dealing with it.

Honestly, I'm having so much fun watching X-Wing players melt down on various forums and facebook groups.

melt down?

the new X-wing faq and tournament scoring systems are the best news we've heard all year since the EP7 core set was leaked

I agree with you.

but this is the internet.

There will always be the hurt who were relying on chancy rules definitions to game the system.

With Game of Thrones, delays are a way of being true to the books, and not bending to that demanding HBO timetable! :D

Well they just posted THREE new X-Wing articles... Hope we're next...

2 X-Wing articles. . . Blah. . .

Three articles.

A table top war game made by FFG, called X-wing, but thats not important right now.

They have an faq change that means a large ship that is half dead is worth half the points at the end

Among other things

I wonder what would happen if out ships were worth half points if they had under half their hull remaining?

I thought the melt-down would have to have been that the change in damage decks would have been the cause of the melt-down.

A few do seem to be melting about the damage decks. But I have to imagine 98% of tournament players buy at least one of everything that comes out anyway so no big deal if you've already bought into the new core set.

Even as someone who's buying the new core set, I can see the issue in invalidating players' old damage decks and forcing them to buy entirely new core sets if they want to continue to compete in tournaments. You have to admit that it appears to be a bit of a **** move on FFG's part when they could have just sold the new deck separately like they do with the dice and maneuver tools.

The fact that the article basically boils down to "We'd like to stress that we're not invalidating your old core sets... we're just invalidating your old core sets" is where the biggest problem that I'm seeing lays*.

* OK, the 2nd biggest problem. The biggest problem is that the article isn't the Armada article. Get it together FFG! >.<

If there is one thing that will make me stop playing Armada, its buying a whole new core set for a new dmg deck

Which I don't think will happen, given that the "problems" with the First X-Wing Deck are, on parrallel, non-existent with the Armada Deck.

The Armada Deck Learned from the Design Mistakes, I firmly believe.

I hope.

Na, we will get all new ships when the redo Armada...

I hope.

new ships = blue nebs and black VSDs :P

I got 2 dmg decks. Unless you mean a completely new damage deck.

Whoa whoa. I just saw those x-wing articles. So theyre introducing first order and resistance? Does that mean FFG got the rights to make ships from the new trilogy for sure now!?

Yes, yes they did

And it's for a game I don't even care about. Where's the new Armada article? I'm stuck at work and want to read about the marvelous Raider that will help restore order to the galaxy.

I will not honor this threat with an answer... <_<

Oh ****! :unsure: ;)

Did you completely miss the new Force Awakens X-wing miniature core set on Force Friday? What planet have you been living on?

Babs out!

If there's a bright center of the Galaxy, the farthest from it.

Wow, first we got trolled by X-wing yesterday and today we get Imperial Assault. Maybe tomorrow for Armada? Probably RPG or LCG instead. :(

Sigh,

On the flip side, the IA stormtrooper pack has some nice upgrades for IPs...

But yes, I'd rather have seen an armada spoiler. We still have a couple of days left in the week, though, right? *fingers crossed*
