Yeah it IS Cool... I know many of us would love to have a wonderful table... but what are most of us working with... for real?

Just the paper included in the game box?

Just the obstacle tokens and the pay mays

mays. I like to use Cloud City and Endor opposite each other.

I would never use 3D rocks. They sound really cool, but with several objectives encouraging you to run on or near obstacles the constant shifting ofpeeves would be maddening.

/not going to correct that garbage, you figure it out

I use a black fleece sheet over my board, and if at home, I'll use the 3d rocks, station and debris I made, (Placing them on top of the basic tokens, then removing the 3D if overlapped).

Would love a decent space mat at some point though.

(Added a card for campaign play.)

As usual, my phone takes even the most basic sentences and proceeds to substitute my carefully chosen words with the dumbest corrections imaginable.

Playing without seems crazy. The game looks SO pretty with the squadrons painted and terrain. Without it is too boring for me.

Yep, gotta cover that table "what is this Wood Space? nah mate!"

And yes, I agree, so glad I took the time to paint my squads

Gorgeous terrain sanchez. That space station is special.

I use space rocks myself, glad i bought in before the mouse mowed it down.

I git Litco's packs and use those. They're still 2D and don't interfere with play, but still look nicer

Don't forget gale force nine has a set of asteroids that works (for most values of works) too. Seems like for a space station shapeways is it tho...

I use the 2nd Death Star Play mat, got some asteroids/space junk off ebay for $40 and use a Star Trek Space station. Works out great

That was so stupid. Anyone can go and make new rocks, they just can't go and blatantly copy the ships inside them, or make a Nebulon-B X-Wing scale ship and try selling it.

Space Rocks basically got greedy and stole a bunch of obviously copywrited designs, tried to create models that used existing deigns (models that are probably already in some sort of development), and openly advertised that they were selling those designs.

I kind of wish things were a bit more dynamic... But even real life asteroids are super far apart... And most space battles are fought around larger things like planets, other capital ships (especially other capital ships for xwing size). Maybe some artificial bases and turrets. Dust fields?

All that said, I still hit rocks every so often.

How do you all strategize about the 6 obstacles.
