Last summer, Fantasy Flight Games announced X-Wing, a fast-paced game of tactical space battles. We are now pleased to say that this highly anticipated game will be launching onto shelves in the summer of 2012.
Build your squadrons and prepare for battle
With accessible and dynamic rules, X-Wing is easy to learn and provides fast and furious strategic gameplay. Simply lock in your movement on the movement dial for each ship, and then maneuver your ships into battle. As the game develops, players must react to a quickly changing battlefield. Keep your wits, because you’ll need to outfox your opponents or risk winding up as space scrap.
With the X-Wing Miniatures Game, you can assume the role of many famous Star Wars characters. Take the role of the legendary Luke Skywalker, who has an uncanny ability to survive any engagement. You could also play as powerful villains like the Imperial pilot known as “Dark Curse,” a member of Black Squadron who is adept at dodging incoming attacks, or test your skills with less experienced pilots like Rebel Rookie Pilot or Imperial Academy Pilot. With thirteen pilots included in X-Wing, you have many options to choose from.
An expanding universe
Arriving at the same time as the X-Wing Miniatures Game Core Set, you can add even more starfighters to your games with the X-Wing expansion packs. Command entire squadrons of Rebel X-wings and Y-wings or throngs of Imperial TIE fighters and TIE Advanced fighters, and relive your favorite Star Wars space battles…or create your own. The possibilities are endless when you build your own collection of X-Wing ships. Read more about these thrilling expansion packs in Prepare to Launch the Starfighters.
