Alternatives to standard play

By Commander Kaine, in X-Wing

Well once 1st Order and Resistance are announced I will take a look at putting my Allies and Mercenaries format into 2.0.

As for 2.0 I will be taking a look at those threat cards and see if there is some type of campaign format. I think HotAC could make god use of those threat icons.

We play HOTAC regularly at my store, we've also played a tournament with what the guy who came up with it called "Gunslinger" rules, I quite liked it, basically it's 100/6 but there's no Palpatine, no bombs no secondary weapons (yes that included snap shot) and even ships with turrets and rear arcs cannot fire out of anything but their forward firing arc, it's also relevant to say I think he came up with it before 2.0 was announced (as there's some similarities, focus on arcs for instance). It's back to basic x-wing which made it a lot of fun, and the people who played liked it enough that we're doing another tournament at the end of the month with the same rules! Also I'm currently working on a different alternative play mode but it's still in its early stages so I'll post it on the forums once it's fully fleshed out and tested.
