A photo of a big shiny black wooden board with stars painting on it, with two B-wings, two A-wings, and an X-wing on one side and a TIE Punisher, two TIE Interceptors, and three TIE Fighters on the other.

A photo mid-game close-up with a bunch of the ships all close together facing every which way.

Mid-week gaming was X-wing again, but this time we had TOO much stuff going on! Definitely need to tone it back for next time, fewer ships and fewer upgrades. We only got two rounds in, and nobody actually blew anyone up. It was pretty chaotic, but also fun. On the plus side, my newly-starred board looked fantastic. 😁

A photo of a big wooden board, about one metre by 1.3 or so, painted shiny black with a bunch of white paint spattered on it so it looks like stars. The board has miniatures from the Star Wars tabletop game "X-wing", the Empire on one side and a rag-tag squad from the Scum & Villainy faction on the other, with all their cards laid out on the section at either end that's separated from the main play area by a small raised piece of wood.

Today I painted up my X-wing board so it looks like it's an actual star field, rather than just being plain black. Pretty stoked with the results!

A photo of four boxes for the Star Wars miniatures game "X-wing". One is the 2nd Edition core set which has two TIE Fighters and one X-wing miniature in it. The other three boxes are conversion kits for the Rebel Alliance, Galactic Empire, and Scum and Villainy factions that contain all the tokens and cards and other things needed to use the ships you'd bought for 1st Edition with the new 2nd Edition rules.

I am back on my X-wing bullshit! 🎉 Very excite.

A photo of a shiny black board sitting on a dining table, it's 3 feet by 3 feet with a lip on each end and a section beyond the lip to put the actual cards on. There's some asteroid tokens in the middle, on one side is an X-wing and on the other are two TIE Fighters.

A photo of the X-wing and the TIE Fighter directly facing each other, with literally a few millimetres separating their bases.

Mid-week gaming this week was X-wing, which I haven't played since 2016 when we played in the office after work with @[email protected] (https://virtualwolf.org/media/posts/350)! I've got a ton of miniatures but it'd been so long we stripped it back to the bare minimum core set of one X-wing and two TIE Fighters and no upgrades, just to get the hang of things again. We got two games in and both times the Empire won, even though we switched sides. We also had this magnificent moment where the X-wing and one of the TIE Fighters ended up SO CLOSE to touching it was ridiculous. 😂 There's a 2.0 version of X-wing which I'm totally going to pick up, apparently they've streamlined a bunch of stuff and actually moved all the points values off the cards and anywhere that's printed so they can update it as they go to keep power levels in check, and not have sprawling broken things they struggle to control. There was a really interesting interview about everything that's new with one of the co-designers of the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8Ilk4HYO6Q
