Yeah the upcoming terrain set looks like it will work excelently with their Death Star mat

Though I think too many people get hung up on everything having to be in space, like everytime AT-ATs are mentioned someone goes on about them swimming in space. Have they forgotten the Rogue Squadron/Rogue Leader games. I could see many missions played over an imperial or rebel base either defending or attacking it, trying to take out the shield generators, or turbo laser turrets or trying to land and steal another ship.

Though back to space terrain I could see a CD sized space station working well. I tried out Star Trek Attack Wing last weekend, while I didn't like the game as much as X-wing (too much weird mashups with captains on the wrong ships, too many play kit shenigans messing up the game) one thing I did like was the big planet obstacle, it acted like a big ship base, so you didn't take damage from it but it would stop movement unless you could cross it with your move but it also completely blocked line of sight and any shooting that cross it. It could change up tactics quite a bit with the ability to actually hide behind it and suddenly wheel around on your target or out maneuvering your openent to split their fleet.

To those who have wave 5, what do the debris clouds do?

From the rule insert:

Debris Cloud

Debris clouds are obstacles as described in the core rulebook with the following exceptions:

Moving into and through debris clouds

When a ship executes a maneuver in which either the maneuver template or the ship’s base physically overlaps a debris cloud token, follow these steps:

1. Execute the maneuver as normal, but assign a stress token to that ship after the “Check Pilot Stress” step.

2. The player rolls one attack die. On a  result, the ship suffers 1 critical damage.

A ship that is overlapping a debris cloud token during the Combat phase may perform attacks.

They are quite a bit larger than the large asteroid from the core set as well. A nice detail, the YT-2400 debris is made up of TIE parts, the VT-49 debris is B-Wing, X-Wing and HWK parts. Nice details there.

Cheers mate

Been wondering what those new templates did.

So they can used in tourneys??

Rule books for outrider and decimator didn't mention them being used in tourneys.

A note debris clouds ships only suffer damage on critical hits and that applies a critical damage result.

Another piece that's not tournament terrain as they are used more as objectives in missions are the satellite tokens that come with the core set. In our epic game we used 10 satellite tokens in addition to an asteroid set to fill up the 2 boards. We housed rule them to where they give an ion token and also are removed after rolling for damage so it wasn't only the rebels that can use larger ships to clear the path for their little allies.
