New Dial Upgrade Kits

By BoyBawang, in X-Wing

Sorry if someone has posted this already.

I bought 3 of the upgrade kits for my Imperial ships thinking that I could just change the dial part out as needed. This process works great. The dial comes apart easily, but is strong enough that the dial doesn't move around after you choose your move. Very nicely made upgrade.

However, the problem I have found is that now that I have taken all the faces off my dials, trying to figure out which dial goes with which ship is atrocious. For example the dial for the Tie Bomber now simply says SWX15. Any ideas on ways to make these easier to find when I am changing out ships?

Learn the way your ships all move. Good idea overall and should make it easier to match up the dials.

If I've got a bunch of unassembled dials would a couple packs of these be a good idea? It could drastically cut dial storage space if the hangered ships are just cardboard thick instead of full dial thick.

It cut my dial storage way down. I am very impressed with this upgrade.

When putting mine away, I simply left one attached "face' in each compartment so I could remember which was which.

As you no longer see the back of the dial, I see no reason why you couldn't use a label maker or some other personalized marking system.

This is what I will probably end up doing.

For example the dial for the Tie Bomber now simply says SWX15.

It also has the letters TB on it.

I'm just storing my dials alongside the bases for that ship.

Now, if only there was a way to get extra tokens for the dial so I could keep one of those alongside it in the same packet...

Where is the TB on the movement part of the dial? I must have over looked it.

I'm actually in the same boat as others -- I keep all the components of my ships together, so I can just pull them all from the same section of my storage - base, dial, model, pegs, etc... So it wouldn't really be an issue for me.

I just don't want to go through the process of un-corking all of them, so I'm saving the new dials for tournament lists/days.
