Wave 3 is "On A Boat"

By El_Tonio, in X-Wing

Says it will be in stores sometime in September. Almost the exact same scenario as last year with a prerelease at GenCon and a full release about four weeks later. Really hope they make it by the end of next month (the estimate is 4-6 weeks, which means it's going to be tight).

Hope everyone enjoys theirs. I've been loving mine from GenCon and haven't even gotten to play. Hopefully this weekend.

Wow. It is that late in getting to stores? I am glad I got mine picked up at Gencon then. Yikes!

Boo-Yah! Toys soon...

As one of my friends said, maybe it was on a boat before, but they just forgot to update it because of GenCon. Fingers crossed that is the case! I have 15 ships coming and can hardly wait!

I completely missed the "I'm on a boat" thing. My nerd cred is reduced.

Mine arrived today thanks to a friend who attended GENCON. He sent the cool bag with them as well. Unpacking tonight and hope to give test run this weekend.

Not the only one, expected OP to include the video :P

Here ya go

We got to test Wave 3 on Tuesday, via a friend who bought the wave at Gencon and shared with us, it is really awesome. The Shuttle is surprisingly awesome with its 0 Maneuver, the HWK is gorgeous, the Bombers are a riot with their load outs, and Ibtisam is the B-Wing (think Soontir in an M1A2 Abrams).

Can't wait for them to become more widely available.

Just think, when Tsunami 1 is on its way we can say “you're gonna need a bigger boat”

B-Wing is surprisingly (unsurprisingly?) hard to fly against Boba Fett with Engine Upgrade. Still potent, but I think we decided Advanced Torps are better off on the X-Wing.

I just saw suppliers got a big restock from FFG; hopefully that means more Wave 1 and 2 will also show up. That "first wave" restock didn't seem to have much in it.

I really cannot wait to use that B-Wing. OK, well I cannot wait to actually get to play again. It has been four months. Sad when the group that plays here is on Thursday nights when I work late. No one want to move it to Fridays with good reason. 12 year olds and YuGiOh.

My wife went to college with that guy. I miss those commercials.

Didn't they show the B-Wing being able to change position? I swear it could pivot.

Advanced Torps, are they as good as they seem? It appears like you're going to roll 5 hits about 95% of the time, and 4 100%. Which means that they're able to kill ships outright pretty easily. How have you found them?

I think I found a picture of the boat that Wave 3 is on, behind the person in this video....

O Zathras, please tell me you're not so young as to NOT know Bruce Campbell? LOL (in a good-natured way). :P

Weelll, looks like next week's paycheck I'll have to execute a preorder.

So far i've only done one for Edge of the Empire material.

Related... any news on these tiles for X-Wing? A lot of players panned the notion (I want 'em, myself), so I kinda wondered if they were still a "Go."

Can't believe no one posted this video for "on a boat":

:)

I found it was nearly impossible to maneuver the B-Wing into range 1 of someone than knew I was trying to get to range 1. If the B didn't have the 2 Koiogran, it would be terrible.
