Has anyone seen a rules packet for the Store Championship tournaments? Since the Imperial Aces are about to hit, I'm wondering if they're approved for use or if there's a waiting period...
Imperial Aces at Store Championships?
http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/ffg_content/x-wing/support/faq/X-Wing-Tournament-Rules.pdf
Bottom of the last page. It states the expansions that are currently legal to run in an organized tourney. Until this is updated, Imp Aces will remain illegal. Whether individual stores choose to abide by this or not is anyone's guess though.
Ships are legal for tournaments if and only if the tournament rules list them as a legal ship. So there will be at least somewhat of a waiting period until the tournament rules (located for download on the support page) are updated to show them as legal.
Edit: Ninja'd
Edited by dbmeboyThe general pattern has been that shortly after a new batch of ships or whatever is released, we get an updated FAQ and tournament rules, which includes the new stuff as being legal for organized play. Until then, nope.
Heard back from FFG:
In response to your question:
Rule Question:
Will the tournament rules be updated prior to the Store Championship in March and/or the Regional Tournament season?
Specifically, my gaming group is wondering if the Imperial Aces will be legal for the Store Championships...
The tournament rules will be updated prior to the Regionals tournament season. For Store Championships, the currently posted tournament rules should be used, which means Imperial Aces won't be legal for store championships.
Thanks for playing!
