Fantasy Flight Games has revealed the ships for Wave XII for Star Wars: X-wing at GenCon. Let’s take a look at what we know so far.
Thanks to Gold Squadron Podcast’s Facebook page, we know that Wave XII for Star Wars: X-wing was revealed during Fantasy Flight’s 2017 In-Flight Q&A session at GenCon. Here is what you can expect to see!
What is known about this Assault Gunboat from what we can see is that it will have 2 Atk, 2 Agi, 4 Hull, and 4 Shields. It has slots of missiles and torpedoes, 4 pilots, and a 3 White Bank dial. The XG-1 Assault Configuration upgrade give the gunboat a cannon slot. You may perform attacks with cannon secondary weapons that cost 2 or fewer squad points even when you have a weapons disabled token. The Major Vynder pilot card gives (PS7), 26pt: When defending, if you have a weapons disabled token roll 1 additional defense die.
The Phantom 2 is a Sheathipded-class transport shuttle that has 2 Atk, 2 Agi, 4 Hull, and 1 Shields. It has slots for crew and astromech. The Phantom II has a title upgrade called Ghost. When you equip the Phantom II title card to a friendly Sheathipede-Class Shuttle and dock it to this ship. After you execute a maneuver, you may deploy it from your rear guides. It also has an upgrade that will let you perform a primary weapon attack from its special firing arc while docked. While you are docked at the end of the activation phase the Ghost may perform a free coordinate action.
It has 4 unique pilots and, from what we can see, Fenn Rau (SP9) 20pt: When an enemy ship inside your firing arc at Range 1-3 becomes the active ship during the Combat Phase, if you are not stressed you may receive 1 stress token. If you do, that ship cannot spend tokens to modify it’s dice when attacking this round. Lastly, it has a rear auxiliary arc and 3 White Bank dial.
Finally, we have the M12-L Kimogila Fighter with it s stats of 3 Atk, 1 Agi, 6 Hull, and 2 Shields. It has slot for Ilicit, Salvaged Astromech, Missile, and Torpedo. It is going to be a heavy hitter if the upgrades cards are our clue. Plasma torpedoes, New Illicit x2, Deadman Switch, Missiles x2, New EPT x2, and a the Enforcer title. its dial is Red 4 K, has a Bullseye firing arc, and Jam Tokens. Gold Squadron Podcast did add that the presenter did say that the Bullseye firing arc does more damage if in center.
