Epic FAQ???

By Storgar, in X-Wing

In gold squadron latest episode they made reference to an epic FAQ which has differing effects from standard play, such as Biggs ability does not apply to huge ships.

i am unable to find the FAQ in the normal resources place where the standard FAQ and rule books are on the ffg site.

Does anyone have a link or copy of the FAQ for epic play please?

I have been looking for that for ages. I cannot find it either.

it's not a FAQ. They're talking about the Epic Play Tournament Regulations, which contain a couple of interaction clarifications for Epic play including Biggs.

You can find the document under the support/tournament regulations section on the main X-Wing page on this site.

Here, in fact.

The only changes were:

 

  1. Biggs Darklighter’s card text should read "Other friendly small and large ships at Range 1 cannot be targeted by attacks if the attacker could target you instead."
  2. Navigator cannot be equipped to huge ships.
  3. At setp, Players assign Energy tokens to each of their Huge ships up to its energy limit.

It hasn't been updated for years though, right?

I think the guy on the cast was wrong that the Huge ships could ignore biggs and shoot what they wanted. They Can't be protected by biggs, but they also can't ignore an opposing one.

It was updated a while back - Luke crew and Gunner were originally banned cards

Correct.

As per tournament rules:

  • Biggs Darklighter's pilot ability does not affect huge ships. Small and medium ships may attack huge ships that are at Range 1 of Biggs Darklighter, and huge ships treat Biggs Darklighter's card text as blank when attacking.

So yes, huge ships ignore Biggs entirely.

This is incorrect - the current version reads "Biggs Darklighter’s pilot ability does not affect huge ships. Small and medium ships may attack huge ships that are at Range 1 of Biggs Darklighter, and huge ships treat Biggs Darklighter’s card text as blank when attacking"

As in 'correct that he was wrong'. Sorry - I wasn't clear.
