So new x-wing gamer here

No I am not going to ask, what shall I get next, as I already know what I want lol!

Thought I would say hello

But quick questions I will ask,

When will Wave 1 be restocked?

I cant seem to work out the best use for a A-wing, any help?

Thanks,

From you local fish

When will Wave 1 be Restocked?

"Soon" apparently. A re-release is scheduled for after that Royal Guard Interceptor wave.



"What's the best use for an A-wing?"

It is the cheapest ship available to you (Rebel Operatives in the HWK-290 don't count as ships unless they have a turret, in my opinion), so they're the best way to get Rebel Swarms. 5 Prototype Pilots with Stealth Devices is 100 points on the dot.

It is also the most maneuverable ship the rebels have, and has more green maneuvers than any in the game. Moreover, it has the only 5 Koiogran available to the Rebels, and their only Boost and Evade action options (excepting the Millennium Falcon title upgrade). This makes them excellent for blocking your opponent's ships, while your other ones focus fire a safe distance away.

Their defensive actions, coupled with the fact that they have the highest Evasion dice in the Rebel arsenal makes them surprisingly difficult to kill. Adding a Stealth Device to boost them to 4, for extra laughs.

They're the only non-Falcon ship that has a Missile slot in the Rebel arsenal, allowing for massive Alpha Strikes.
Green Squad Pilots are the cheapest that the Rebels can field with Elite Pilot upgrade slots, and the only one of which you can run multiple (and only costs 19!).

Arvel can force collisions to protect himself (and your other ships) from enemy fire, without taking any reduction in his own offense.

Tycho's ability means the only thing he cannot do while stressed is Koiogran, and he still has more green maneuvers than any other ship in the game.

The expansion also comes with Push the Limit, which is considered to be THE best upgrade in the entire game.



Interestingly, A-wings fly like Tie Interceptors (sans Barrel Roll) with the survivability of Advanced Ties (with one less hull, but keeping the Target Lock action and Missile slot), but they're cheaper than either and are on the wrong side. Fly Empire for a while to get a better handle on them .

wow thanks for the detailed reply

I only have 1-A wing currently, but I do plan on getting a few more

Also, "Hi!"

Hello there.
Best use for an A Wing... easy, take the cards and use them and put the model in the cabinet.

lol, its one of my favourite ships, so I want to use at least 1 every now and again lol

X-Wing and Tie Fighter expansions are listed as On The Boat. But my FLGS owner told me that there was a storm in the China Sea and that has delayed things. So they should of been in the store in early Nov, but it might now be mid to late Nov.

The Y-Wing and Tie Advanced are still listed as At the Printer, so they're not even being shipped out yet.

Hola !

Imo Green + Push The Limit is the perfect toy. Add Homing Missiles and for 27 points it will be able to kill Soontir + PTL or Turr + Veteran Instints, ships almost imposible to kill with x-wing dial unless you give it Engine upgrade + PTL which comes up for 28 points...

tycho + push the limits is a great addition to many rebel lists. greens are fun to run too..

I really want to try a 5 green or proto list but I'm one a-wing short and am waiting to see if they release a ace a-wing pack before i buy another.

Welcome to the Forum coolfishboy.

Wave 1 is coming. Soon.

A wing: Neat ship. Green squad with PTL and homing missile is by far the nastiest combo you can get from this little sucker. It isn't really a mainstay of the tournament scene as of late as it only has 2 die for offence and tends to be more of a flanker than a striker so it takes time to kill its targets. Still, with PTL, you can focus and evade when turtling, or focus and TL when going aggressive. With a stealth device it is downright cockroach-like in not getting squashed. If you are looking to boost, aim for a high pilot skill so you move last and can decide if boosting is better for you when everyone else has moved.

The trick with the A-wing is don't fly up the middle; Fly around and attack from the side or from behind. Avoid HLC's (Heavy Laser Cannons).

Welcome aboard.

A-Wings rock, check out the last video to see how well a good player can run the board in an A-Wing .

Can you link right to the video? The blog is kind of cluttered and nothing is exactly labeled "A-Wing Video - look here!"

A-Wings are fun. As has been said - HLC is your sworn enemy. Head on charges usually end in tears. Green + PTL is a lot of ship for the points, if you fly it smartly. If you can position well, it can be great for making strafing runs to soften up or finish off a target, or kite an enemy into an ambush. If you go toe to toe in it, it will often end badly. They're hard to hit, especially if you maintain range 3, take Stealth, turtle up with evade + focus, thanks to PTL, but once they ARE hit they tend to go down fast.

Here you go.

Not a great video, loads of game play errors and 2 test squads. It's also always nice to see videos but this one needs a disclaimer.
