This is a newbie question, one which I will apologize for in advance. In my defense, I did try to find an answer before posting.

I was at a convention not too long ago and was watching a game of X-Wing. I noticed that all the players had these mini-clipboards and sheets to track damage on for the ships they were controlling. I've been collecting this game for a while and have just recently had the chance to play. Now, I am wondering about those damage tracker sheets. I know they're not an official product, and they're something I can definitely do at home myself with Excel, but I was wondering if there are some out there somewhere available for download. If I can save a a little time and utilize something that someone else has already worked on, that would work well for me.

Thanks!

To be honest I've never heard of such a thing. Must be a local thing, so perhaps on a facebook page for a X-Wing group where you're at?

Never heard of it. Damage cards are used to track ship damage.

Maybe in large-scale Epic games where there aren't enough cards? It'd have to be a house rule that they'd agreed upon beforehand.

I didn't quite understand what I was looking at, at the time. But thinking about it now, and finally playing it, I can see why damage cards are used (especially for critical damage/faceup deals). But I know it was some kind of damage shee; I recall seeing boxes for hull damage and boxes for shield damage. I was only spectating the play, so there may have been some house rules at the beginning of the game. If I recall correctly, there were probably 10-12 players, and no less that 50 ships on the table.

Sounds like some sort of massive epic game. At which point I could see why they'd use sheets to track stuff. But that's not a standard game.

Check boxes for shields and hull ... sounds like Star Fleet Battles ...

Hmm...maybe. Since I hadn't had previous play experience, I didn't know this was different than "normal." I suppose it could've been something non-standard.

Heehee, yeah, it does.
