We proudly present to the X-wing community a new alternative format for the game we all love:

X-wing Objectives
In 2012 Fantasy Flight Games created the Star Wars X-Wing Miniatures Game. Its strong and unique mechanics coupled with the power of childhood nostalgia has made it one the most popular miniatures game in the world. However, after 5 years and over 12 Waves worth of ships, the “Standard” competitive format has begun to show some weaknesses. The primary win condition for years was to destroy all of your opponent’s ships, but now with so many cards and combinations available there are more win conditions that make the game less enjoyable. These include having a single, expensive, and unkillable ship win when time is up or staying in your corner the entire game and winning on a Final Salvo tie breaker.

The X-Wing Objective Format was created by a large number of members from the X-Wing Community in a massive collaborative effort. Months of testing went into creating six objectives that have alternative win conditions. The hope was to eliminate some of the negative play experiences and get us back to the kinds of dogfights that leave us cheering and excited. We also sought out to create a format that would not only appeal to casual players but also be viable as a tournament format.

Please download & print all the materials as needed and enjoy this new format. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.


Enjoy!

You can view all the objectives in an imgur album here: https://imgur.com/a/Ox7T9 , or you can see the splash page for everything at http://nationaltabletopgaming.org/tournament-resources .

If you're just looking for the printable version of everything, the link is on the site or just here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/clott5ozs0upf6f/AAA3E7lrpB8-CJAq6f1AiOWea?dl=0

To learn more about X-wing Objectives listen to the “Intro to Objectives” episode on the Carolina Krayts, Gold Squadron, or Mynock Squadron Podcasts.
Video Tutorials will be made available on the Gold Squadron Podcast Youtube Channel soon™

Lastly, if you're running or participating in a tournament with this format, you'll want to use the rules here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/17egf6ZX0CEyJjyyKaPvL9ukLVXkYJ1RIt85iFF9F-EM . The short story is that you can run it as an Imperial Assault tournament in Tome or Cryodex, and you should be fine!

Here's an example page, if you want to save a click:

ALSO: Please note Trajectory Simulator should be on the banned card list. We're getting the updated version ready soon, but it takes time to reformat everything!

See, making Y-wings look right is so easy Ryan Farmer can do it.

This wasn't made through Mission Control was it?

Whoop whoop! I've been lurking on the Mynock Squadron Podcast since yesterday for this to drop! Thanks for all the work guys, listening to it now!

I might give Mynock another Try, Both Kessel Run and Scum & Villainy has drank from the toxic kool aid. I miss Nova Squadron.

Can't wait to try it out!

Some of the early prototypes were, so there's still a remnant in the deployment maps: the lambda icon and YT2400 icon are mission control.

Everything else @Rytackle did the painful way!

Awesome! Thanks @Rytackle !!!

Did @Babaganoosh help with any of the missions? If he did, then I’m all in!

in all seriousness. It is great to have this format out there. I hope that tournaments begin to adopt and use it.

No huge ships as objectives? I'm shocked, shocked I say!

That's right Paul Heaver is everybody's dad and he's especially proud of you.

I get it, we need the format to be approachable to folks who haven’t bought those massive things.

But I still really want to get my huge ships on the mat more! Hopefully we will see a few more objectives take shape. Maybe

I'll push out the ruleset we had at some point, as it was fun, just too unwieldy to carry around the pieces all the time. For now though, there are wordings and rules that need to be cleaned up still!

We had over 50 people helping out on this. It really means a lot to me that we had so many people from across the country collaborating. Chris and Dion really helped spearhead a lot of this and deserve so much credit.

The thing I love most about this is that...it's fun. The games are different and enjoyable, and it's a great change of pace. I really recommend just taking a random one out and giving it a try if you just want a good time.

You all are the best =]

We are spoiled to have you in the community, this looks like a lot of hard work was done.

Oh, and you forgot the other nickname - "Shutup" Farmer. (My personal favorite one)

@Rytackle , you are my Yoda Santa!!

It would make me very happy if the majority of this thread was dedicated to picking on Ryan Farmer.

I'm not stuck in here with you, you're stuck in here with me!

I vote to call this " The Scuttled Shuttle Shuffle " since it involved a stationary ship.

These look fantastic. I can't express how much I hope this catches on in a big way.
