Star Wars X-Wing

Miniaturen Spiel

X-Wing Miniatures Game - A game set in the Star Wars Universe, simulating the space battles between forces of the Rebels and the Emperor. Players command familiar and famous ships from Star Wars, for instance X-Wings, TIE-Fighters and many more. You choose your faction and then choose your ship and upgrade cards from the selection available for your faction; in the introductory game without personalized Fighter Squadrons the Rebel player takes "Luke Skywalker" and the Imperial player takes "Nachtbestie" and "Pilot der Obsidian-Staffel".

Each round comprises four phases: 1) Planning with secret choice of maneuvers on the maneuver wheel. 2) Activation including ship movement and one action, using pilot abilities, upgrade and damage cards as well as missions. 3) Combat with one attack per ship, in descending order of pilot values, targeting ships in range and within the firing angle, using attack and defense dice. 4) End of Turn Phase comprising removal of unused action markers and implementation of End of Turn Phase cards. You win, when all opposing ships are destroyed or if you completed the mission target.

When you are familiar with the core game you can make us of expert rules, for instance for personalized Fighter Squadrons, for which you need additional ships from the plethora of available expansions packs, or use obstacles and communication.

The core game also includes three missions with varying victory conditions, special rules and mission targets: Ein Wohltätigkeitsflug, Das Asteroidenfeld and Flüsterstimmen.

This game offers paradise for tabletop/miniature/conflict simulation fans as well as fans of Star Wars - the basic game alone has a lot to offer, and expansions take the fun in playing beyond known space!
