So I'm going to Minnesota next month to play in the LCQ. Even if I don't make it I'm excited about all the side events. I've got the schedule FFG put out but is there a list of rules/criteria/formats for all of the side events posted anywhere? I want to see which ones I'd like to play in, and start list building.
World's side events what are the rules?
The rules can be found on the side event pdf: https://images-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/filer_public/83/ba/83bad434-f0f9-41ad-869a-111c05a93405/2019_x-wing_worlds_side_events.pdf
Thank you
Aces High can be any sized ship?
QuoteThis event uses the rules for the Aces High scenario from the Epic Battles expansion
Do we even know what Aces High scenario is?

Yes, it was on stream.
Yup, check ffg's YouTube channel from about a month ago. Looks fun!

No doc though? I only watched beginning part so far, will check entire thing out later. So points for doing damage, does that include Deadmans switch and Dengar crew? If you kill a ship with Deadmans switch from another ship killing you, do you get the points? Or splash damage from boron missiles? Looking at Brobot builds, or Tel in Jumpmaster with Dengar crew to help stay alive.

Nope. And no idea.

I imagine they’ll have the rules available right there for all to consult. As you have a point limit, you should be able to make a build that you think will do well

By checking out the last of the side events, does that mean that we will got the epic points released soon ? I hope so, because you can't bring all your fleet for planning an epic play !
And if points are released, maybe official release on friday ?? (for huge ship conversion kit and epic battles pack)

Negative times two.
FFG OP admitted that epic and the huge ships won’t be here on time, so they faq’d the side event to be team standard X-Wing. Both players bring 400 points of stuff from the same faction and mega battle 800 points vs 800 points with 12 obstacles over a 6x3

Ew gross.
Guess I shouldn't have got my hopes up; FFG's been pretty good at disappointing on release dates for awhile now.

I blame the Trade Federation. 🙂
Yeah, I’ve given up any hope of an accurate street date for product. If it’s not in stores now it doesn’t exist until magically it does.
Epic was going to be my thing this year, but no way am I going through that massive slog fest.

That's exactly what I was thinking. 800 points per side of individually-activated ships? I think I'll pass...
No to mention: Can CIS even make a 400-pt list without exceeding the "8-per-type" limit? Not a lot of variation available there...

6 infiltrators ?

It's a 12 ship limit per ship type, according to the FFG OP facebook page.
But yeah, bring Vultures/Hyenas, something to carry TA-175, and a pallet of calculate tokens.
