EDIT -IMPORTANT : Fantasy Flight gave out their kits to a bunch of poopity stores who were not selling enough of their game instead of the stores promoting it. We did not get a kit, but the tournament is still on. We are just gonna give away better prizes instead so still come out an play There is an X-Wing Tournament coming up on December 15th. Essentially its a Pre-Release like how Magic runs theirs. (give out stuff before its shipped) Probably a good day to come and learn the game or play it if its still sitting in the box at your house. Here's the Details. Millennium Games and Fantasy Flight Games Prouidly Presents The Kessel Run Preview Event for Star Wars X-Wing Miniatures When - Saturday December 15th Time - 12pm Cost - $10 Prizes - Really sweet stuff which we will figure out and give to the top 4 players. Probably involves enough store credit to buy previously listed models when they come out as well as additional prizes Contact Garret Arcoraci at Garret@Rochester.rr.com for more information or check out www.FantasyFlightGames.com

Ok so.. i watched the FFG tutorial video and im sold! Ill probly drive to millennium tomorrow if they have the core set in stock, of course ill call first but does anyone know off hand if these are in stock?
After getting a few games in with my brother ill probly try and swing the tourney as it sounds like a blast and nice change of pace from 40k. Plus star wars is awesome... hopefully turnout isnt as low as i fear it might be for a first event...

Chris, everytime i've been in they have had a good stock available. Im going to try and pick up another Y or X wing along with Vader's TIE this week. Didn't help that I watched RotJ last night. Now I can't wait for the Awing.

Chris just so know I recommend getting some of the boosters for the event. The event is 100pts and the core box comes with two Ties and a X-wing which allows about 40 vs 40 pts which is great for just learning the mechanics. But if you are anything like me once you get the basics you want to play more and have big dog fights like in the movies. Play a few games and see which faction you want to play (imperial or rebel) and focus on those boosters first. Also the booster packs come with different pilots and other upgrade cards. From a Rebel stand point two X-wings and a Y-wing with tons of up grades can get you to around 100pts. The Imperials are much cheaper points wise other than Vader. So the list I'm trying for this has 2 tie Advanced and 3 Tie Fighters. Not that I have the models but I figured out a list with 7 Tie Fighters last night but they were all cra-ppy pilots. Also last time I checked we had the core and most of the boosters up at the store.

Ok so me kevin(evin) and andy went up to MG and got a bunch of stuff, i decided to sell andy my tie fighters n i bought a Y wing, me and andy got a 45 pt game in and i had a Gold squad Y wing with R2d2 and a red squad X wing, andy had dark curse an academy pilot tie and a black squad pilot with marksman upgrade... the game was really fun! We just did a dogfight(like i believe the tourney/event will be) and at first i was worried being out manned and out maneuvered but the Y wing with r2d2 is incredibly resilient even with only 1 agility roll... some bad moving on his part in the beginning caused him to clip some asteroids but at the end the X wing lost his shields but no hull points and the Y wing had a damaged cockpit(pilot skill 0) and 1 missing hull point but ended with 1 shield token as well As for my tourney list ill probly run 2 Y wings and a X wing all being kitted out Even 3 is low because of upgrades but ill test it out some more Smitty they were out of tie advances if they are even a stocked item

Yea our game took just over 2 hours i think, did you play a full 100 pts?, but it was our first game and im confident my second could be under 90 minutes
And as of now andy and kevin are both planning on the upcoming tourney so it should be a decent showing,although i dont know who in roch besides you kevin and ben play

Sorry about the lack of stock on the X-wing stuff. The game has been out for a few months now and sale are just finally starting to jump. I will have at least 6 of each ship type in stock this week. I would have had them yesterday but Fed Ex showed up missing 3 of my boxes and sadly one of them was the one containing the Tie Fighter Advances. If you need me to set some aside for you let me know and I would be happy to do that. Smitty and his entire household came in and cleaned me out unexpectedly. So let me know if you need anything. As far as the line goes currently there is just eh Core Set and 4 different types of ships (X-Wing, Y-Wing, Tie Fighter and Tie Fighter Advanced).

I have a few other that know how to play but don't own anything. I'm guess the guy that is running it probably will have a few people as well.
