Troubles with X-Wing in Russia

By circk, in X-Wing

Are you sure it's a licensing issue? You cannot order tournament kits from Europe directly from the FFG site.

AFAIK Esdevium (UK) is "tasked" with handling Organized Play in Europe, and they ship tournament kits all over the continent. Maybe try to get in touch with them directly (they will talk B2B, so you need to get a store owner to do this)?

Thanks! I`ve forwarded it to our TOs.

I think Bergsala Enigma is responsible for Scandinavia and the Benelux for one.

Only Waves 1 and 2 are in Russian?

Unless you go over the border to Finland or what have you.

Move to a country that doesn't invade its neighbors and become the subject of international sanctions.

Everything has a cost. I'm sure you are personally a nice person but this is a much larger issue and Disney or any other United States based company will probably not be very interested in listening to your plea.

Pretty sure this has nothing to do with that, SIngapore and Malaysia don't have an army big enough to invade people and FFG doesn't care much for us either.

Sorry for your problem, and sorry for persons who just forget that you just want to be part of the community of gamers that x-wing is creating. These are gamers everyone just like you, and they, like you have little or no power over the things their leaders do, but they are gamers And we are our own group, we speak our own language and we understand each other when no one, even our loved ones don't. Believe me society treats us like outcasts, from here (Detroit, Michigan) to wherever you are in Russia or Asia, don't hate on them because they want to belong.

I hope you get your kits and I hope to see you hating or loving the meta at an event in the future.

Unless you go over the border to Finland or what have you.

But are they in Russian?

Also agree that massively disrespectful replies like 'move country' only show the poster's ignorance. Seriously?

Obviously seriously, because that is such a legitimate and good advice to solve small and irrelevant problem with a silly mini-game. Retards ruined sarcasm on the internet.

Though seriously, getting an IT degree and moving from russia to germany sounds like good plan. We have Mutti and x-wing refugees are welcome. ;-)

Yeah, serious necro.

Still, I'm curious if anything ever came of it. Did FFG hire some smuggler scum to get the prack into Russia?

Exactly.

Also, these waves were published with enormous delay (wave 2 was released last year), and Russian license holder has no plans to localize any X-wing products (majority of Russian players got English versions of 1-2 wave products and Russian X-wing "had a poor sales"). Russian license holder not bother with any community building and official tournaments and any support. There are small company consisting of two men, that builds community and organizes tournaments and leagues on whole Russia (that, you know, vast country).
