Is it just me or are the dials ever so slightly different from the two available yt1300's available in the game?

The original one having a white speed 3 straight.

And the HOTR one having a green speed 3 straight.

If I were to run two yt1300's in a list, I only have access to my two dials. Do you have to run a specific dial on a specific yt1300?

The fronts of the dials are identical so I'm a bit confused?!

Both YT1300s are identical - no green 3 forwards. Check your dial and see if you have the T70 back attached to the YT front?

I figured it out!

My dials are identical as you rightly point out...but...if you look at the manoeuvre charts on the back of the A5 rules booklets that come with both sets, the HOTR yt1300 has a green 3 straight.

Guess it must be a misprint!

Possible, but I'd still follow @Gilarius' advice and double-check you haven't mixed the T-70 and Falcon dials up. You wouldn't be the first.

If your HoTR Falcon dial has T-Rolls, you've mixed it up with the T-70...

You guys are just handicapping your YT's. It flys so much better with the included HOTR dial.

Please read my earlier replies. I have two identical dials and have checked them. I have not mixed up the backs. I am talking about a misprint on the A5 rules pamphlet that come with the expansions. Here is a photo of the original falcon (speed 3 straight is white) as per both dials. On the rules sheet for the HOTR falcon it is green I assure you (well on mine at least)

As soon as I get a chance I'll post a pic and show you what I'm on about.

WHy not photograph that one and show us then?

The dials are identical.

Because if you read the reply directly above yours...I said I'll take a pic and post when I get a chance. I'm at work at the moment and only had a chance to snap the original falcon rules before I left this morning.

Your patience shall be rewarded as I shall photograph the HOTR rulesheet when I arrive home this evening and I shall post then.

Or if you have the rules yourself, go take a look!

Not to hand.

But nonetheless, I'm 100% sure the dials are identical, whether the rulebook has an error on it or not.

The dials ARE 100% identical...I know they are and have stated that since I realised it was the rulesheet that was wrong. All I have been trying to point out since I made that discovery (that the dials are right...the rules are wrong) is inform my fellow xwing players that there is a mistake on the rules sheet.

I'll post a pic later.

Please read this from earlier in the thread and you'll see I'm not disputing non identical dials...it is the rules I discovered were wrong/print error!

At the end of the day, if the maneuver chart on the insert is incorrect, it really doesn't have much of an impact. It's the dial that you place on the table.

I completely agree Parravon. I was merely pointing something out and that is that. I suppose my OP could be slightly misleading as I didn't have dials to hand, just the rules sheets so was going off them. Checked my dials and hey presto...they are identical and the manoeuvre templates on the rules sheet is wrong. And that is all I have been trying to point out.

But as you say, only the dial on the table matters and I now have (and always have had ) two identical yt1300 dials to reign destruction on my foes with.

I think I'll message FFG about the error though...it could be confusing if you were planning a squad list and you've not got dials in front of you and your working off the rules sheets to look at manoeuvres for example.

But why are you arguing that the dial is correct, if it isn't wrong?

Haha emeraldbeacon...very good.

Feel free to bring me up on my use of the English language, as I was dragging my trousers on for work with one hand whilst posting a comment on here with the other hand rushing like a mad dog for the office early this morning.

At the very base level of all of this and the fundamental point of my original post...is...I was trying to point something out to people who play X-wing (like you I would imagine?) that might be interested in the point I was making, and that it might help them facilitate their game play in the wars to come (or give them a heads up to an error in the physical paper rules that they might have missed when planning squadrons)

I pointed something out. If it's useful to you, great, use it. If it's not, don't. Simple!

I just checked my Heroes of the Resistance rulesheet. It too has the 3-straight green on the diagram of the YT-1300 maneuvers. Dial fine, tho.

So it goes.

Right on brother...welcome to the rebellion!

As promised!

Green 3 straight...an error on paper...not on the dial!

Actually, if you bring that as your "reference" and have a dial that has that green 3 then you clearly have an argument that the 3 straight is a green maneuver. That insert is after all the "official" maneuver reference unless I'm missing an errata that really SHOULD be made immediately.

Just pull up the original YT1300 reference.

Ah, but my Heroes of the Resistance Reference is newer than your Millennium Falcon reference and therefore should be the current one.

PS. Yes, this is just argument for argument's sake although if FFG did make that (almost certainly) printing error they should do something to officially fix it.
