When will it be released in Europe?
Release Date Imperial Veterans Europe.
Seeing as we have no idea in the States, I doubt Europe would be any quicker. The distribution style does make world wide release hit sooner though.
We have a history of getting things before the US. 
When will it be released in Europe?
No release date has been announced yet, though Esdivium Games in the UK have said 'May'.
It went on the boat on 31 March which would usually take six to eight weeks.
Personally I'm expecting a big announcement from FFG of Star Wars related material tomorrow...
June, 10th. At least in Spain, it seems.
2018.
When will it be released in Europe?
I always feel like the forgotten step child at Christmas as an Australian with FFG, all **** didn't know they were coming...your presents in the mail...yeah...in the mail. Get new stuff weeks after everyone is gloriously rolling in all the TIE Defender goodness, I will be living vicariously through new posts, sniffing my old X Wing boxes to take me back to opening new things.
Boo! Clickbait!
June, 10th. At least in Spain, it seems.
Oh! Melancholy! I remember these days when in spain the waves released in time and now we have to wait like a month
Will it affect the UK Championships, I wonder?
It would tip the meta far too much to be fair in a big tourney, I think.
How as it for Wave 8? I thought FFG delayed it in the US for a global release all at the same time? Aren't they doing that?
I have a distributor friend that told me nothing is set until at least very late May possibly early july. Since the new ownership a lot has been set as all standby.
