Hey there X-Wing Players,
My gaming group has been playing X-Wing Miniatures twice a week out of At Ease Games in Poway since Fall of last year [We also attended the Kessel Run Event held back in December, snagging a Firespray-31 in the aftermath]. This is just a shout out to any players within driving distance of Poway who would be interested in playing some friendly games with us:
- We play Wednesdays and Sundays from 6pm until the store closes at 10pm.
- As of now we have a little more than a dozen players, but average 6-7 people showing up every meeting.
- A number of us give custom paint jobs and conversions to our models, and can be found working on them an hour or 2 prior to meetings.
-Our hope right now is to raise our average number of players each meeting to at least 9-10 people so that we can be recognized as an official league at At Ease Games [And recieve the benefits of having reserved tables, buy-ins for prize support, etc].
Recently however, we have been planning, creating, and most importantly playtesting a set of custom rules and missions in order to kick-start a co-operative campaign for Players interested in taking the game beyond its classic PvP ruleset.
Here is the gist of it: players create and customize their own Pilots, then are given an allotment of points to buy a Starfighter and kit it out with Upgrades and Weapons. Then, they team up with other players to take on harrowing missions with enemies controlled by a single league-coordinator [similiar to a GM in an RPG, just without the actual Role-Playing]. After the missions, squadrons of players are awarded with Experience Points and Awards to reflect how well they performed with respect to their fellow players. They use these to grant their Pilots more points for upcoming missions, permanent Elite Talent Upgrades, and limited uses of Pilot Talents [Taken from the unique Pilot cards]. While we will be looking to start this campaign by the end of February, there is no cut-off date for new players. So long as you have the miniatures, components, and dice, we would be happy to take you aboard anytime.
Anyway, if TL;DR, below is the poster we have at the counter of At Ease Games for the league/campaign, come on out if you would like play some X-Wing Miniatures with us, custom rules or not!
