So the rules that they attached don't list any wave 3 expansions, but I heard that they allowed them at Gencon. Since I'm going, I'd sure like to know in advance since I have to prebuild my squad.
Apologies if this has already been asked and answered.
So, given that there's been 54 views and no responses.... I'm guessing nobody knows.
Plan accordingly. And by that I mean- bring those 7 tie fighters just in case.

I have no idea about Worlds, but wave 3 was NOT legal during the national championships at GenCon, because they were not readily available. Now that they are (relatively) available, they will most likely be legal during worlds.
Well, I guess I bring the whole kit and figure it out once I'm there, right?

I would. I don't think FFG has said that Wave 3 are allowed in Worlds so until something is said I'd assume they aren't. But bring my models just in case, if I were going.
As of right now they have not updated the FAQ or the tourney rule set so don't hold your breath
bogus.
It's buried in the forum somewhere (and off-topic to the thread if I remember right, so good luck finding it) but someone emailed FFG about Wave 3 at the GenCon Nationals, and the response pointed directly to the Tournament Rules and its list of approved products. The might decide to allow it regardless, but until/unless the document is updated, I'd play it safe and assume no Wave 3.
That said, I'll be amazed if they don't allow it - it's still a month away, which means it'll be almost two months from general release for Wave 3, and three from GenCon. My sincere hope is that we'll get an update about two weeks or so before Worlds with both a Tourney Rules update to allow Wave 3, and an FAQ update to officially resolve some of the outstanding issues. Not really holding my breath on that, though
Wave 3 was released for the first time at GenCon. It would made no sense to make Wave 3 legal for GenCon's tournament. Worlds are still a ways off.

That's the thing though, Worlds isn't "a ways off" its only 4 weeks away. Most people prepping for a competitive tournament are getting practice time in with their list.
That being said Wave 3 is legal at Game Hole Con in 3 weeks!
I have been running a couple of both kinds of squads (with and without Wave 3) just in case. Better safe than sorry, though I would also be stunned if they did not allow Wave 3 - especially with it being so hard to even find some of the ships from other waves for so long. Certainly doesn't seem like it would make for a good business decision, but we'll see.
I have been thinking about this more...
I really wish we had a clear answer...
Probably NO Wave 3 at Worlds...
That makes me very sad.........
I've been thinking about this for some time. Honestly I don't care if wave three is or isn't allowed. I think it would make the Escalation event harder if it was allowed. I think it would bring up some crazy situations that no one has thought of yet.
I had a bunch of people over last night to practice for Worlds and I had more fun joking and laughing playing this game than I've had in a long time playing this game.
I'm going to this event to have fun. I went last year to have fun and I made the cut for top four. It was great. That being said this is a game and I play games to have fun. If wave three is allowed great! I'll fly Ten with an Autoblaster and poof some TIEs. If not, maybe I'll fly some TIEs who knows. I just hope I have a good time.
Uh, what is Worlds?

Edited by HexisConsidering they just posted the updated AGOT LCG FAQ, and last time, they pretty much did all the FAQs in a clump, I'm willing to see the updated FAQ with Wave 3 being legal sometime this week.
New FAQ and tournament rules released.....Wave 3 now legal.
Yay!!!
I was waiting for that.
son of a....... Well, better late than never. At least we get to use the new stuff. I'm excited to bust out that lambda and prove that it's not just a turtle waiting to be run over.
