Dang it, FFG: My gripe about Conditions

By PhantomFO, in X-Wing

As we can see in the photo, each Condition uses a specially labelled token to keep track of the affected targets.

I have a hard enough time finding three ID tokens with the same number, or a matching set of Target Locks. Now you're springing THIS on me?

I'm hoping my TOs are flexible, because there's about an 80% chance that I'm going to mark this with random mission tokens or possibly some ions.

You need acrylic tokens! I can be your apologist!

- Crylo Ren, in a non-questioning tone.

I'm thinking we're just going to end up sticking the condition card on the ship card in question instead of yet more tokens piling up on and around the ships themselves.

FFG does seem to have this thing about giving copious amounts of cardboard tokens for everything. At least it's not Dev Edition Ogre level quite yet.

I wish they made tokens for Palpatine and Kallus actually.

My main issue with conditions is not their existence or mechanics, as they are really the same as existing tokens plus a reference card, but with the art design of them. They look like the objective cards from Armada, rather than anything else in X-Wing.

The sorrows in this forum are overwhelming

Yeah, a generic condition token like the crit token would have worked just fine. Most people don't lose cards but I'm always finding tokens on the floor or under mats.

I'll probably lose mine, or just end up not being able to find them

My kid got one of those Rainbow Looms where they make the little bracelets out of little rubber bands. I politely asked for a bunch of those and keep my TL tokens together with them. I also painted the edge of them red or blue and printed out little Star Wars pictures on each one to make them unique.

One benefit of keeping ships on their bases is that I can leave the little ID tokens on them.

I did get an acrylic token that is a Crew token. Not specific for either, but it works. It's from the German guy that does all my awesome templates. He might have some for those guys specifically as I know he made one for Corran Horn.

This is not sorrow. This is unjustified rage over something which is clearly my own fault due to my inability to better organise my tokens.

Go ahead and lose them

Just gives you an excuse to hand draw your own!

It probably won't be any harder to keep track of than Kallus or Palp.

Hopefully you don't have all 3 going on at once :P

My issue? That they seem to be using movie quotes for all the conditions. Talking about these conditions of the forums is going to be painful (due to the length of the names)...

Isn't that the same thing?

Eat M&Ms while playing. Tokens and brain food!
