Advance rules

By Komander, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Hi All, I have heard about some advance rules such as the extra 1 boost of Darth Vader. Could anyone tell me where to get these rules? Cheers.

Extra rules not found in the core set (such as rules for ion cannons or rules for the "boost" action) can be found with any upgrade ship that contains cards that need those new rules.

1) Rules about large ships are found in both the Falcon and Slave I expansions

2) Rules about ion cannons are found in the Y-Wing and Slave I expansions

3) Rules for Boost are found in the Falcon, A-Wing, and TIE Interceptor expansions

4) Rules for bombs are found in the Slave I expansion

5) Rules for Title and Modification upgrades are found in the Falcon and Slave I expansions

There may be some I'm not thinking of, but I think you get the idea.

In this case you may be thinking of "ship modifications" which allow any existing established ships (like Darth Vader's) to be upgraded with new stuff.

  • In the Millennium Falcon set you get 2 x Engine Upgrades (ship gets the boost action) and 2 x Shield Upgrade (+1 more shield).
  • In the Slave 1 set you get 2 x Stealth Device (+1 defence die until you take a hit).

Don't think these mods exist in any other expansions yet. Obviously these upgrades cost points and some combos (boost with Vader) make more sense than others (stealth device with Y Wing).

Thanks guys! appreciate the quick response. cheers!
