Star Wars SWX29 X-Wing Miniatures Game: Rebel Aces Expansion Pack (First Edition)

Fantastic addition to the x-wing miniatures game(i am not a competitive player just a table top gaming fan) These 2 ships along with their upgrade cards and unique pilots mix up the game play in a great way, from the bulky B-wing to the nimble A-Wing.I found many combinations that synergies with other ships e.g. using red moves to gain stress on the B-wing Having a upgrade/skill on the A-wing that lets you remove stress from other friendly ships then using the elite pilot/crew skill on the B-wing to gain a free focus when stress is removed... May seem like a lot of extra work for a focus token but X-Wing is a game about movement and positioning so being able to perform those red moves without penalty (with benefit in fact) is a game changer.

Anybody looking to expand their Rebel fleet should certainly consider this expansion. After the X-wing, the A-wing and the B-wing are probably the next most recognisable of the rebels smaller ships. Having the two different ships in the Rebel Aces expansion means that you can quickly build up a bit more variation in you fleet.The A-Wing's core stats are: Attack: 2, Agility: 3, Hull: 2, Shields: 2. The A-wing can also Focus, Target Lock, Boost, and Dodge.The B-Wing's core stats are: Attack: 3, Agility: 1, Hull: 3, Shields: 5. The A-wing can also Focus, Target Lock, Barrel Roll.The paint jobs belong to unique squadrons with specific pilots to make this expansion different to the stand alone A-wing and B-wing expansions. A great Star Wars miniature set if you are just starting out and looking for some new ships to grow your rebel fleet. For myself, it was the first expansion I bought after the core set (Not including the millennium Falcon of course!).

Great miniatures, I feel they are abit weak tho compared to the empire.

Good set of ships. Repaints make a nice change from the stock paint jobs. Some very useful upgrade cards and of course the -2 point refit for the A Wing is a welcome addition.

Ffg has done it again with another great ship for another fantastic quality game.

Nice upgrades for B-Wing and A-Wing starfighters. Loving the named pilots' skills, specially.Still, it doesn't replace the A-Wing and B-Wing independent expansions, that you will probably want to have also because of their unique cards and extra ships.It comes with a fun scenario that I am looking forward to trying.

This upgrade give you an A-wing and a B-wing.Both have slightly different colours to the normal ones.The coolest thing you get is an upgrade for an A-wing that goes in the missile slot that reduces the points cost of an A-wing by 2. You get 3 of those cards and they make the A-wing a ship to consider. Other than that you get a couple of decent pilots, 2X Enhanced scopes and 2X A-wing test pilot cards. Pretty decent but probably won't change the way you play the game.Even with this extra subtle boost A-wings still have 2 firepower so it hardly makes them an elite ship that can hold its own with the best of the best.What this expansion does is give slight boosts to the A-wing and B-wing but nothing crazy.Cards included...Chardaan Refit x3Proton Rockets x2Enhanced Scopes x2A-Wing Test Pilot x2B-wing/E2 x2Kyle Katarn (Crew)Jan Ors (Crew)Pilot cards...Jake FarrellGemmer SojanGreen Squadron PilotPrototype PilotKeyan FarlanderNera DantelsDagger Squadron PilotBlue Squadron PilotAll in all its good value to get the 2 ships and the system upgrade cards and title cards but its not going to radically help you dominate in your games like say the Falcon or outrider expansions can.

Love the new paint schemes, features plenty of cards to buff up the A-Wing and also interesting card for B-Wings to add a crew member which I havn't really used but could mix things up a little.
