X Wing games

Just for something different I allowed myself to be taken into the future for a night.

I would love to give a full account of the games played but as I haven't a clue about the various crafts involved, nor for that matter, anything else to do with "space wars" I will just post the pic's I managed to take and leave it at that.

The boys kept talking about a death star and some Millennium Falcon thingy, a Darth Vader chap and a bunch of rebels. Might as well have been talking a foreign language as far as I was concerned!

We played three games and I managed to get thrashed in all three! Nevertheless a very enjoyable evening.

Clinton had a heap of very cool looking spacecraft but we only used these ones below. I think he keep it simple for the dumb one (me)!










 

Thanks to Clinton for doing the hard work and making it a great night.

    Rodger, great looking game. However you are wrong. It is not future, it is past. Star War saga is always begining with "... long, long time ago..." ;) Thanks for sharing.

      The Star Wars saga is based on the 1960 figure Captain Scarlet TV series
      X-wing resemble Angel Inspector (Airfix) fighters (Thunderbirds TV series)

    Haven't played this before, but there are a lot of folks in the local area who do. The photos really make it look appealing.

    Cool pictures. I've dipped my toe into X-Wing (that's code for: bought lots of stuff and hardly played with it!) It's a fun game, easy to pick up and play and as complicated as you want to make it really. Cheers, Paul :-)

    Great looking pictures, really like the gaming mat. X-wing is a fun game and easy to get addicted to as I know to my cost

    I like those ships and they do look good on that mat. Once you get hooked on this kind of thing there's no going back to historicals :0)

    Played this once too :)
    Basically, it's Spitfires in space... sort of. A bit.

    Not a "period" I play, but I must admitt that your ships are really impressive!

    Very cool looking. I was so tempted by this game but worry if I got it, it might put me off painting ! ;-) Does the game handle the 'height' of the ship?
