FFG European Championships 2017

By KMitchell, in X-Wing

Alex Watkins ( Asmodee's Organised Play Manager for Europe) posted this in the European Champs Facebook page last night

I've trimmed out the bits that don't pertain to X-Wing, but left the non X-Wing Side Events in there.

As of last night there were 282 players signed up for X-Wing :)

OK, so most importantly... who's going?

Yup.

Oh I'll be there :)

If you're lucky, I may have a few Finquisitor cards with me

Assuming it all comes together in time* I will be coming to at least one day in my Fenn Rau costume with some of CitrusCannon's amazing Fenn alt-arts to give out.

*of which I'm really a little dubious at this stage; LOADS still to do...

I'll be there. I'm too lazy for the travel required for Worlds, so yeah, European that's it :P

I need one of those! I'm also bringing a good deck of cards of my own to gift and/or trade for other unofficial things.

Retro Maarek/Farlander are dual cards. Braylen too with Thane in the other side with the same art, which is the scheme I use in one of my ARCs (Norra's is the other).

Edited by Kharnete

Will be there for Fri only, helping boost other people's Day 1 MOV. Surely that's nearly as helpful as awesome alt arts? :P

I'd be there, but (a) exams :( and (b) seriously, its £200+ for accomodation, tickets (for the Expo and then Euros) and everywhere will be rammed. I loved Yavin, and they showed that you don't need to be at UKGE to have a good event!

I will be there! I really want some details these cards!

I'll be there as well with lots of other guys from Germany and excited already for my first big international tournament :) I'll pack one of my "*** Rot" official FFG promo cards for trading.

this thread needs a shameless bumping, if only for the exceptional fan-made cards

Nice, sign me up for one! :)

I can't decide whether I like those templates or not. Well, since I won't make the cut it really doesn't matter anyway :) The position markers are really cool though. Those are gonna be my goal for Euros.

Edited by ScumDan

The templates are gorgeous, I love the coin, and the ship markers are something I'm surprised that they're not done before.

Alt-art bad Han meeehhhhhhh.

I love those templates. If only I didn't suck so incredibly bad at flying and rolling dice in X-Wing they could be mine.

Bump for one week to go. I wonder if the Booze Bus will be back this year?

Does anybody now if there will be someone streaming some matches? I'm planing to watch some games with my brother which is kinda pointless if there's no streaming.

FirstEarth is usually there, but he already did Yavin so may not be able to come from Spain so soon after. I hope he can do it though, he has the best overlay on the internet by far, and gets some great commentry.

I'm trying to get there! You going there? :ph34r:

Ill be there. As a judge so I wont get to play,but it will be a blast to watch so many players duke it out ?

I talked to him a few days ago, he'll be there.

There will be a few of us from Spain attending, maybe ten of us total, but that's just a rough estimate.

No cards, but it looks like the costume should be finished, if a little rushed. Depending how well I do I'll be wearing it on day 2 or day 3.
