Nope.

Those and the new Square evade tokens, the distinct lack of Howlrunner AA Cards and the new "candy" Tractor beam tokens. :P

I wouldn't design a new card, I would however do what FFG should have done ages ago - which is take the artwork for Howlrunner from Armada, and put it on a promo card for Howlrunner! :)

So um, yeah, thanks FFG. :)

(Now you just need to make the TIE/LN viable again!)

These templates not having symmetrical engraving triggers me!

Howlrunner + Black Squadron Pilot (x5) : Did FFG hint something about swarm ? :P

Good to see again generic pilot for prize ! :)

Yeah, especially that hard 1 template. My eye is twitching. "BUT WE HAVE TO PUT OUR FF LOGO ON IT!"

They could have just as easily put the FF under the flag. If they did that, they could have even put the flag on the hard 1 and bank 1. With the way they are currently, just looks turrible.

Templates: Meh. Weird square tokens: No. Alt arts: OK.

The tokens I do like. Something very different, but thematic.

When and where is nationals?

Why do European nationals get the awesome R2 templates and US nats get these crappy ones?

Oh and FFG if you like money you should really mass produce those R2-D2 templates and sell them. I would pay double the normal template price for those.

R2-D2 templates are in European Continentals not Nationals.

You do know Europe is not a country, right?

The European Championship is equivalent to the North American Championship (held at Gen Con). This is for Nationals (held at NOVA Open).

Not a huge fan of the target locks, but the rest looks pretty cool.

I gotta wonder though...I get that they had to push the one-hard up to fit their logo, but couldn't they have done the same thing on the other side of the template too? Move it up just a touch? Please?

I wasn't going to go to Nationals, having run a silly list at Regionals rather than taking it seriously, but I am honestly now considering flying over from Ireland just to try and get that Howlrunner card.

And, y'know, Nationals was fun as heck last year.

Both heats for nationals have waiting lists. No idea how long they are or what your chances of actually getting in might be.

The templates look like merchandise from the Nowregian Consitution Day. As a swede, this is giving me mixed feelings.
