Royally ticked off *Warning, rant*

By Ebak, in X-Wing

Nope, the Netherlands and Scandinavia are still waiting for them as well - and we're even serviced by a direct subsidiary of Asmodee/FFG (Enigma). Our expected release date is currently Jan 5th.

Huh, weird. 5th January is the revised UK release date for the Rogue One ships, so there's some consistency there at least.

I assumed that the stuff in stores in Germany are the localised versions - if that's the case then it could have arrived by a separate shipment than the English versions.

I know some people in Australia that have their hands on all the wave 10 ships already.

Jup, only the localised versions.

What the hell? This has seriously shaken my faith in FFG and Asmodee when a lot of us in the local group were looking forward to getting these for Christmas, especially considering our stock for a previous FFG product arrived early, yet we had to wait for the US to get theirs before we could officially distribute it.

Really?

Over here in Germany we got the U + Striker as expected .

Arrived yesterday , can be sold today , so, delivered as intended .

Interesting - the UK isn't getting them until early January. I'd assumed this would be a Europe-wide distribution issue, but apparently it's just the UK.

The UK isn't part of Europe any more. You're on your own. ;)

Uggh, the burn! :)

Not for two more years, gah I can hardly wait.

Weird, not the reaction I see most players having. Wave X is amazing, in terms of design.

He's not alone I bought nothing from the last wave and will only get a few tie strikers from this, the last two waves have sucked in my opinion.

I'm royally annoyed at the lack of Star Wars mods for Xbone Fallout 4.

Also irritated at the lack of Gunboats.

Slightly nuanced at this constipation though.

Jup, in 2 years we just invade, take the british isles and the uk only exist on the falkland islands and other british oversea territories, because that is the only way how the UK can leave europe ;-)

Seriously, europe is more than just the european union and the european union had been fine for decades to not invite every rotten country on the continent into the organisation. No running away from europe for our british friends. Though I honestly wish they have told us that they want to leave the EU before THEY invited the poles, romanians, etc … the whole EU east expansion was done so that the british would not get overruled by germans and france alone and the whole EU idea was because the british feared the frank-german alliance which was planned instead. So making it sound like GB did not join for their own best interest is silly. Now they leave the EU because the british people believe they can get a better deal and all is fine. They still can not leave europe. ;-)

A new PC is in the same price range as a new M&P15 or car tuneups.

Easy decision if people would not have wasted their money on a $400 console, because that could have been literally a gaming PC ^_^

Rotten countries etc. etc. etc. poles, romanians?

Really?

Rotten countries etc. etc. etc. poles, romanians?

Really?

And invasions, you totally forgot the invasion of london. Jesus, sarcasmus over the internet is hard ;-)

Though what is actually true is that citizens of the UK complain a lot about EU citizens flooding their job markets which their own government lobbied first to get into the union. So that style of rhetoric is for real again.

If it's of any help, I'm in Switzerland and I already have 5 TIE Strikers and 2 U-Wings...

When your vote counts for nothing your not part of a union your it's vassel.

We did not fight two world wars and fight communism to end up the slaves of Merkel, we are just the first Greece is siding with Russia and frexit is far from an impossible eventuality.

Brussels overeached and this is the inevitable backlash.

Interesting what you get out of a small, silly burn. Anyway, unproportional voting power, special discounts on membership fees and a veto power for many, many decades. Does not sound like a vassal to me.

Now the new status in a few years will be interesting.

That's fine, that seems to be peoples attitude to your new President-elect.

I do not know about the rest of you, but my store got the Tie Striker and U-wing in stock today.

So FFG did hold up their end.

But I still have no idea why and atmospheric Tie Striker is being presented in a space game...

So how about that no U-wing/Striker release rage?

Just use a planet playmat like endor, bespin or sector 6 and it makes sense. The striker's repulsor engines should work just fine within a solar system. Enough mass close by to operate on repulsor engines alone. ;-)

Because they're out of Canon ideas now. I mean, I personally think the items released with the Striker were originally planned for the TIE Hunter, but then when they slowed down with Legends products and needed something for R1 they slapped it onto the Striker.

Well FFG describes the Tie Striker as "designed for atmospheric combat and defense..."... So we put it in space...hmmm.

And then they give the fighter Adaptive Ailerons, which makes sense in an atmosphere where it has to bank, but how does an aileron work in space?

Ok yes, just play the game, lol.
