The Imperial Aces comes with two Star Wars universe?
TIE Interceptors (including Royal
Gard pilots) & the Rebel Aces pack
comes with an A-Wing and a BWing. These are recommended
first purchase expansions as they
double down on the characteristics
of each faction. The TIE Interceptors allow an already ninja mindset
to control the space battle through
their incredibly good manoeuvring.
Zipping along at breakneck speed
to loop behind an unsuspecting XWing is the TIE Interceptor’s speciality.
The A-Wing gives the Rebel faction
a fast, manoeuvrable (and cheap
on squad points) interceptor that
has the added bonus of shields, it’ll
give TIE Fighters a definite challenge. The B-Wing, with its sleek
design, may not move too fast or
manoeuvre too quickly, however,
it’s shielded up the wahzoo and
packs a hard punch, especially with
weapons upgraded.

An official X-Wing game mat.
For a long while I was playing on tables, board room tables & coffee tables and using string, masking tape
& lanyards strung together to map
out the borders. That all changed
when I purchased the X-Wing mat.
As a lover of giant space battles, I
had to go with the Death Star II over
Endor for the X-Wing map design.
The landscape under your space
battles really sucks you into the
game, the pieces move better when
placing positions and all the border
dimensions are nicely played out.
My Instagram is now filled with pictures of my Starfighters over Endor.

answer some of the questions I first
struggled with when I took up the

new Scum faction, new ships and
information on X-Wing!
