Message to new players: this game is primarily CASUAL.not TOURNAMENT.

Make a single malt scotch and I'll supply the pizza! An EBA, large.

****, I can't drink, but that sounds good right now.

Not at all? That sucks. I have an occasional snort but my drink of choice is NUTTIN BUT coffee. NO cream, NO sugar, NO caffeine. NUTTIN but coffee.

I can't drink Alcohol, coffee is fine.

young single malts.........flavored vodka....... nut but coffee.....all are super competitive in my local meta.

i don`t sweat whats in the mug, just whats on my mug. a sloppy grin sometimes contorted into a " now whats this dude thinking of doing this turn" type of smirk.

I am thinking about firing up a game night with all the fun. super crazy good times galore formats. Anyone have ideas to turn the good times up to 11?

my first idea is ALL SHIPS get `expose` on their action bars.and ...only....expose.

Expose yourselves super naked funtimes format.

I thought of a 100 - 125 game. Lowest ranked pilots, no upgrades and double the obstacles. Go back to pure dogfighting. No theory crafting, no VI or ordnance.

X-Wing is serious business.

Very true. That's why I never conduct business when I play x-wing

We do not fly casual. We ARE casual.

.

we ARE casual AND take Mr. Stele to the final table of SC. I believe to be the only one, worldwide :P

Btw, can confirm (from south europe) plastic toys and wine is a perfect mix.

Reds or whites?

I met a guy years ago that was allergic to something in beer, wine and whiskey. Vodka and straight grain alcohol was okay but he hated the taste of vodka and said grain reminded him of rubbing alcohol. I assumed the smell and not the taste.

It's a legal thing that I can't drink, not an allergy.

No problem! If you can shoot straight and fly (reasonably) well your still one of us.

Alright then, then let the 300 points of Punishers With a Palpmobiel BEGIN!!!

X-wing is a well designed game providing a great hobby and is amazing for casual play. Even store tournaments are fun, cheap, and offer relatively easy obtainable promo swag to beginners and experts. They also help support your local gaming shop, if run correctly. I advise many not to waste too much time or money on competitive play. If it has the word "championship" in the title, you better bring a good meta build and have practiced. Unless you have no life like me and can make most tournaments, don't bother. You'll be fighting with your wife and/or girlfriend for nothing!

Not much of a wine drinker, gives me a whopper of a headache after a glass or two. If I have the terminology right it's a lighter color than a rose'. A pale pink like some of the stuff that was around in the late 60s. Strawberry Hill was one brand that probably never saw a grape or a strawberry during processing.

Back on topic, sort of. I wonder how many contributors here play above local store competitions? Not just in this thread but this site.

Holy crap! What a list! You have more ordnance on the punishers than I have in my spares box and go bag combined! That is a seiously cool list. Have you run it before? Any success?

Nope, I've never ran it, I want to though. I don't own 6 Punshers, I only have one, but that's what proxying is for.

I truly believe that the only reason FFG hasn't marketed Star Destroyers and Death Star minis is because THERE IS ALREADY A SUPERWEAPON in this game, and about 80% of households that play X-Wing already have one: The House Cat!

What exactly are you basing this claim on? Where did you get the 80% figure from? Do you call it whiskey or whisky?

Out of likes for the day. I wholeheartedly agree. Had one cat that would walk over the keyboard while I was trying to type. She didn't want attention, just wanted to tick me off.

I was going to like this thread until you repeatedly used the term "whiskey" when referring to Scotch.

WHISKY.

Cheers

Baaa

Edit: Even though you only did it once, this is the Internet and hyperbole rules.

I had a friend once who maintained that some Irish Whiskey (I forget which one) was in general better than than Scotch Whisky as it was tripled distilled.

I pointed out to him that if they can't get it right after 2 attempts they should give up.

Now, try playing a Z-95 swarm after drinking some of Mr Smirnoff' exceedingly good variety.

My cat has never caused damage to an X-wing ship but he did manage to break the end off both the Victory Star Destroyer and Nebulon B Frigate antennas within minutes of opening the Armada core set box

This is precisely the type of spurious claim that causes arguments. I'm calling you out.

Well 80% of the people I play with have cats! MY ANECDATA IS AS GOOD AS YOURS! And I will shoot-first anyone who says differently.

But... oh don't get me started on Whisk(e)y. I may fly casual, but I drink my Single-Malts neat.

My girlfriend's cat has a hate-on for Monopoly. As soon as the houses and hotels go on the board, he pounces! Scattering all the parts to the four winds. As such, we've never even THOUGH about unboxing X-Wing at her place. :)

It's hard to argue with someone with impeccable taste.

... he hated the taste of vodka ...

... taste of vodka ...

Isn't the entire point of vodka that it doesn't have a taste?
