We decided we couldn't wait for the box sets to come out. We probably should have. 300 points apiece, 4-way furball. We called it after 4 hours. Player One had one one-hull Defender remaining in his second ever 2.0 game. Player Two had a shieldless Vader remaining. Player Three had a nearly full-health Kanan and a one-hull Red Squaddie. And I had my full droid squad, less six total health. Funny thing, they all loaded the rocks down on my end of the board, and then declined to come into my lair. Huh.

One player described the slow advance of my rock-hopping squad as being like to watching an industrial steel press advancing down the board. I like that.

edit: I think this second picture is Turn Six? Almost two hours in? And a single ship has been removed on the other side of the board.

This is exactly why wings and huge ships exist. Speeds things up by crazy amounts. On the stream today one of the players had a huge ship and 9 small ships, but at the start he was only setting 2 dials because 5 were in a wing and 4 were docked to the huge ship.

As the game goes on, they undock and break up etc., so you have more dials to set, but the number starts to go down again quickly, for other reasons...

Yepyep! And that's why we were jumping the gun, ha ha. So looking forward to this!

That kind of brings up a thought. Did anyone hear on the stream if there is a point limit before you can start using the wing tools?

As in, Huge ships can be played in 200 point games now, but are wings usable in 200 point games? Or are wings only usable if you declare it a 200 point Epic game, and not Hyperspace or Extended format?

Are there Hyperspace and Extended Epic formats? 🤔

They specifically said wing tools are not allowed in standard. They dont want you to move your full squadron with a single dial. You have to declare it an epic game, either 200pts or other.
