I have seen the Idea of using mission cards for X-wing, like in armada, mentioned by various people in this forum, But it suddenly dawned on me that these already exist in x-wing: Missions. Most missions are 100-point based, so it fits very well with an easy alternative to 100/6, or even co-existing with it.

There was a really interesting thread about how missions could co-exist with 100/6 recently, but I cant find it. I think it would be fun to have more options for a winning strategy than just "Destroy Enemy Fighters", and the well-loved Political escort mission is a great example of a mission with more than one winning strategy.

What do those who like playing missions/ are tired of 100/6 think?

(I know that this sort of thing has been coming up in the forum a lot recently, but it just hit me how good of an idea it is.)

This thread?

Actually having an evening of missions games tomorrow night. Just breaking out the 'normal' missions from the expansion packs and playing scenarios, though.

I could imagine a simplified version of my grayskull base narrative being run as a tournament.

incorporate a unique card draft, pilot mortality (and maybe progression), and simple missions. Have a small banned cards list. If you start with the grayskull format it wouldn't be hard to reconfigure the system for a tournament.

Heard a lot about you guys' custom missions. Where can I find them? Is it on the official FFG mission thingy?

Here's a link to the event google folder: GRAYSKULL that includes the event rules, and the mission packet
