X-Wing 2.0

I had a chance to try out the new 2.0 rules for X-Wing and I enjoyed them quite a bit.  The game had become pretty bloated after so many expansions, and the new app support seems to work pretty well. I took three X-Wings and my friend Reno had three TIE Advanced.

Luke Skywalker went head-on vs. Darth Vader and scored several hits, knocking out his shields early.  Unfortunately that wasn't enough, as the younger Skywalker was shot down on the next turn after some seriously lopsided rolls!  Jek Porkins and another Red Squadron Veteran fought a valiant battle, but in the end Vader was just too strong.

  1. What have they changed up in 2nd Ed?

    1. It looks like they removed a bunch of the extraneous cards and pilots. They also added force powers and force points for applicable pilots, and added a mid-sized base for larger fighters. Points is app-based to allow for rebalancing, too.
