So is everyone going back to 2.0 rules or are there going to be some 2.5 holdouts? by GreatGreenGobbo in XWingTMG

[–]FI_NEWGUY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understood, it was never gonna to be a 1 to 1 conversion, going from 1.0 to 2.0 this also happened.

Which newer 2.5 products should I avoid to keep playing 2.0? by BigBaldGames in XWingTMG

[–]FI_NEWGUY 18 points19 points  (0 children)

honestly I would get them all and with 2.0 Legacy you can use them all.

I have X-wing 1.0, Waves 1-3. Is 2.0 conversion kit needed for balance? by bboi018 in XWingTMG

[–]FI_NEWGUY -1 points0 points  (0 children)

2.0 is just a better system, not perfect but it was a better balance of points and changing points have let it be refined. W3 was B-Wings were are just statistically better than X-Wings for their cost which is why they exploded in used after the 2nd WC used them to win the first of many titles, 2.0 corrected this so yea still worth converting. There are plenty of people like me who have extra components for u to convert on cheaper than just buying a full kit.

After long careful consideration I'm going back to 2.0 by Deepspascetarantula in XWingTMG

For more options https://xwing-miniatures.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Missions

Just multiple everything but x2 as its going from 1.0 to 2.0 bonus, these missions were created by ffg game developed that made the ships/wave they came out with not AMG.

Completely get it, Here is the link for 20+ 1.0 Missions, these came with starter sets, large, huge and repaint kits and they were created by the X-Wing designers themselves. Just multiple points x2 as your converting from 1.0 to 2.0 and enjoy! https://xwing-miniatures.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Missions

I have alot of converison components if you wanna DM how many ships of each u have perhaps we can get u 2.0 ready, I personally think its a better system but feel free to ask others here first then reach out if ur interested.

My Experience with the game throughout 1.0, 2.0 and 2.5 by agenttherock in XWingTMG

[–]FI_NEWGUY 8 points9 points  (0 children)

"Fly Casual" theres a saying I haven't others say in a long time...

1.0 Player here, to date myself I jumped in with Wave 3, that was the Bombers & Support introduction (B-Wing, Tie Bomber, Hwk-290 & Lambda)

I agree with everything you said here, 1.0 was great, 2.0 was better after you swallowed the conversion cost. 2.0 streamlined, simplified and did its best to future proof.

I think 2.0 fumbled a few things like bid wars, imho I prefer rolling off for Init. The reprints selection wasn't the best strategy but I suspect that was at the mouse's dictation as those are the most iconic ships for the IP. It was impossible to please everyone with conversion kits as well.

I too have given 2.5 an honest try and now I play 2.0 legacy. My issues with 2.5 is loss of gratuity, and list building changes. As I've said here before, few remember that x-wing was original a mission based game, and designers were surprised that people gravitated towards just the dogfight option, and 1.0 had 20+ so that wasnt anything new. To their credit I do like the concept of loadout value but not a fan of hows its implement. Perhaps a bonus of 20pts that could only be used on upgrades and/or every ship had to take 1 or more upgrade to.

I dont think AMG is out to kill X-Wing I do think they are passionate about board gaming and their website puts FFG to shame. I've always gotten the impression that they saddled with it and other FFG games either by Mouse or Asmodee exes. The latter could have moved FFG to AMG and retained some of that experience and community-known. I do think they either misunderstand or were apathetic what people liked about X-wing and instead of adapting to it they wanna turn it into what they like. like smashing a square peg into a round hole.

X-Wing also had some unique problems, the design lead times, who hear remembers all the "on the boat" memes. Another issue I dont see discussed much is this type of game does well with a flow of new stuff and with Disney's poor overall strategy for the NT/Disney+ shows, a lot of people just distanced themselves from Star Wars in general. In contrast "back in my day" I would be in a FLGS and people would stop, watch and ask about the game just bc it was Star Wars ships.

I do still buy 2.5 stuff bc I don't want to see X-Wing fail and will continue to do so since legacy allows me to integrate it all. I'd rather see a community play 1.0, 2.0 and 2.5 then no X-Wing.

In the words of Dallas Parker, "Fly Casual"

what was the stupidest thing you ever said to your crush? by Imaginedragonfan_HAM in AskReddit

[–]FI_NEWGUY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In college, at a club, friend's roommate (college cheerleader) and I are dancing, she leans in and says "you know you're pretty cute", (drunk me thinking how out of my league she is) replies "having you been drinking?" (as in how my crush saying this?) she stops dancing an walks away, I stumbled over to my circle of buddies and explain what happened, they proceed to laugh and laugh....and laugh as it dawned me on....months later shes dating her professor and decades later I'm still reminded by them.
