Enter the next era of interstellar combat in the Star Wars galaxy! Out of the X-Wing Second Edition Core Set, you can start to assemble your own squadron of iconic starfighters from across the Star Wars saga and engage in fast-paced, high-stakes space combat with iconic pilots such as Luke Skywalker and Iden Versio. With refined gameplay that focuses on the physical act of flying starships, X-Wing Second Edition lets you create your own Star Wars space battles right on your tabletop. Intuitive mechanics create the tense atmosphere of a firefight while beautifully pre-painted miniatures draw you deeper into the action. Man your ships and enter the fray!
The X-Wing Second Edition Core Set contains two TIE/ln fighter miniatures and one T-65 X-wing miniature, along with all of the maneuver templates, dials, cards, dice, and rules that you need to play the game.
We start out by getting a look at all of the components that you receive when you purchase your Core Set.
Not much has changed as far as the number of cool components you receive.
We get to see that the dials have been seriously upgraded, not just in maneuvers but also in size and the new ship punchouts have a lot going on as far as multiple firing arcs. Rob show you one of the best ways to keep track if your firing arcs with an Army Painter Laser Target Lock.
If you were worried about having to give up your custom templates and asteroids then fear no more. All of these are the same as the previous edition so you will not have to trade them in for new ones.
We get to see the progression of the Ships from one starter to the next as we get to see all the ships in a side by side comparison.
We get to take a look at the Quickstart Guide and get some pointers on how to get your first game in of this new edition as well as getting a look at the Rulebook, Pilot Cards, and upgrade cards.
X Wing 2.0 has a lot more depth than the previous edition and we can’t wait to get this to the tabletop. Make sure you check out the full unboxing and review video below!
