Hi, I'm a local event organizer for X-wing and despite AMG dropping the game, it's far from being dead! There are thousands of people still playing and a group of veterans, playtesters and event organizers created took over development of the game - so updates, balance changes and new pilots are in the making!
Awww!! Nooo!!! STOP IT!!!! Watching this video is making me want to go up it the attic and get all my X-Wing out and have a game. Great video as always 👍
@thewynnest oh I went well beyond X-Wing 😆 Legion, Shatterpoint, Judge Dredd, Dystopian Wars, Bolt Action, The Walking Dead, Blood and Plunder, and more, and also into board and card games. But I always enjoy a game of X-Wing and it's never got boring. You're gonna have a lot of fun
Excellent summary! Great to see more newer players interested in the game. :) If you're interested in getting involved with the community effort plenty of us content creators and various community led projects have their own Discord spaces. There's a real buzz around the game atm. It was kind of flatlining in terms of interest due to the player base not really jiving with the newer rules and game direction, but now we've got a community body leading the game we're far more confident about it's direction.
Thanks Nick, I ended up on your videos many times over the past two weeks! I’ll look for the discords; I’d love to get involved and give my (beginner) perspective on the game, if needed. I really enjoy the game so far! See you around 🤘
2.0 is the better version and is the dog fighting version. AMG turned the game into x-wing MCP and the new group that is taking over is going to push 2.5 and continue to push players away.
Why would it push players away? I;ve never played 2.0. reading about it it has rule si don't really like. I've been playign 2.5 and enjoying it so far. The only thing i'm, nmot keen on is the way selecting loadouts and ships work. 2.0 looks bette rthere BUt BOTh games have issues with ships not being allowed thing they can use IN CANON so i'm probably gonna just ignore both and maybe make my own loadout list. Things like teh Head hunter literally having missile tubes on the model but not allowed to have missiles is so silly.
@@kudosbudo They completely changed the rules, gameplay and list building. Almost everyone I know that switched to 2.5 would go back to 2.0 in a heartbeat if given the choice. The only problem is the new design team will continue down the same path that destroyed the game.
Was eyeing up the products for X-Wing on sale at my store, wasn’t sure if I wanted to get into another game. This video made me bite the bullet. Shame Asmodee really made these decisions, hopefully the community can keep it alive.
@@thewynnest Compared to Legion and Armada, it was hard not to see it as a lengthy, big investment game since I didn't know much about it (especially coming from 40k). You made it seem like a quick and fun game, which I'm sure it always has been. Sometimes it just helps to see it in a certain way to make it appealing. Great videos though man, keep it up!
My buddy has a very sizable Armada collection and has been playing since the beginning. I'm planning to do an introduction game so he can show me how the game works! Check out the previous video btw, he talks about Armada in that one 🔥
X-Wing was my gateway drug. The on-table look is amazing: Great ships and mats; just so colorful! I love the gameplay (v.1&2), and length of game. Sigh ❤
Cool to hear your story Peter! For me its feels like a nice break from having to assemble and paint lots of minis. I can just get some ships out on a table and get going. Refreshing!
Hey me too! I bought a boat load of ships when stores starting clearing stuff out. Got at least a dozen ships of each of the 7 factions. Now I need to find people to play with.
A cool, same story eh? Well be sure to check out the software/game im talking about in this video! Link is in the description. I play this when I don’t play with friends.
I just bought a starter pack at my local game store a couple of days ago because it looked interesting. Had no idea about the devs dropping it until now 😅
@@thewynnest That's what I'm reading. I just thought I'd dip my toe into the hobby, but with limited ship quantities, I may have to dive in faster if I like it lol
I'm actually happy that it's "dead." To me the game is complete, and I don't have to keep spending money on it. I prefer v1.0. There's still so much to try out with a diverse collection.
Yeah I can understand that. I just bought into it a little, got myself a nice collection now and I’m set up to play whichever version is ‘best’. Lovely game!
Awesome video. I love x-wing. i dropped out due to the price that i would have had to buy for 2.0. I rather stay playing at 1.0 and have fun with friends. Have fun.
Great video man! I am playing X-wing since 10 years about. I really love it. I was so disappointed after AMG-s announce too. I introduced X-wing for my workmates a year ago. Within a year they bought almost all of the 1.0 ships and they love it! Crazy right?😅 I am collecting the 2.0 now so yeah...this game is far not dead! Please can you tell me the name of the website where you are looking the X-wing products in this video?? Thanks! Greatings from Hungary!😎✌️
Ey thank you! I love the game so far. And no, it’s not dead at all haha. Can’t wait to play more. I think the website was a Flemish website called Lotana! They had a bunch in stock.
I enjoy both X-Wing and Armada -- and own a great deal of both (too much). If you haven't already, I recommend Armada, which I actually favor more than X-Wing -- although, I wouldn't pass on an opportunity to play either.
Went on a buying spree just prior to the announcment. I think i'm just missing two shuttles, U-wing and the Alpha wing. My Naboo fighters are 3d printed and i'm gonna get a tie agressor thats 3d printed at some point so technically missing those. Basiclaly i can't find any of them even on ebay at least at reasonable prices. As for official current black box stuff in the Uk its basically nearly all gone now.
Fly casual is not fully updated. You can override the settings and points and have your correct list fly against any enemy. I suggest reading your list against 6 xwings
I already had a 100--125 ships, but haveen't played in a couple of years. The AMG announcement put me in FOMO mode and I've spent a couple of hundred in the last week trying to fill holes in my collection. Sigh....
@@thewynnest FB groups seem to be the ticket. But also, my thought process goes to. Ships will be around for a while. I've been buying up scenario and card packs "Battle of Yavin" "Pride of Mandalore" "Never tell me the odds" "Fully Loaded Devices" etc.. because I bet those are going to be harder to come by in the future than used ships will be.
@@Foxtrot_Woof Actually got the ones I mentioned above right now 😂.. Pretty good prices as well. Just have to get that Rebel conversion pack and Pride of Mandalore. Eventually, if the game sticks I'll get some of those scenario packs.
@@thewynnest I know amazon has teh U-wing. Its a german first edition copy. But if you use Infinite arenas you can print the cards, dial and base tiles for them.
I will never invest in Legion, it’s just a matter of time before they abandon that game and community. Battletech, is one of those games that been around for 40 years. Good enough for me. F ass-modee and AMG. FFG was ruined by them.
After gong back to X-wing from battletech i really wish battletech had dials and manuevers. Its movement systems in classic AND alpha strike is kinda bad, unless you enjoying making conga lines.

Exactly! I've never been more excited for the future of X-wing.
Awww!! Nooo!!! STOP IT!!!! Watching this video is making me want to go up it the attic and get all my X-Wing out and have a game. Great video as always 👍
Thanks boss! And thanks for your advice on X-Wing in the discord 🔥🔥🔥
Dew it
X-Wing got me into the hobby 6 years ago and I still enjoy it. I'll be playing it for years to come 😀
Cool to hear! Did you go beyond X-Wing and to other wargames later? Or just X-Wing for you?
@thewynnest oh I went well beyond X-Wing 😆 Legion, Shatterpoint, Judge Dredd, Dystopian Wars, Bolt Action, The Walking Dead, Blood and Plunder, and more, and also into board and card games. But I always enjoy a game of X-Wing and it's never got boring. You're gonna have a lot of fun
mMinature game addictions are entirely untreatable and that's a good thing. Look forward to your armada to xwing to legion transition game.
Yeah im doomed 😂 .. Thank you Andrew!

Come on over to Armada for a test. Its also a great time and a great community.

😔 you poor poor bastich, I wish you good luck and I’m sure one of these old vets can take you/anyone under their wing and get you flying.🤞
Yeah I’m in good hands! 🤘
Asweome video, and yes FOMO struck hard 😅👍🏼
Id recommend picking up Battle of Yavin and Battle over Endor scenario packs, good fun alternative game types and more pilots for rebel/empire
I didnt know it came with more pilots! Ill dive into it, thanks!
@@thewynnest yeah they add some new pilots as well as standard load outs for some existing ones :)

Thank you sir! Excited to get a few games going.

Still very much playable tho! The starter packs are awesome for that.
@@thewynnest That's what I'm reading. I just thought I'd dip my toe into the hobby, but with limited ship quantities, I may have to dive in faster if I like it lol
I’ve done the same thing, played in version one and bought in again after it died
Works great right? I’m really enjoying the game so far!

X wing is coming back despite of AMG!
I recently watched a 6mm Star Wars bat rep using Laat gunships, etc.
It was Epic 🤪
Whattt?? Where?

Thank you! I’m in the same boat, kinda. Just playing with a friend. Waiting on new rules for the community tho.
@@thewynnest Awesome. well keep us up-to-date if any new news happens. looking forward to your videos. Happy Gaming 👍
good explanation.
Thank you Dominique!
I just started too about four months ago. And like it. Have enough to host games. And sticking with version one. All good.
Life can be so easy right 🔥 Have fun!
I have to wonder if Asmodee wanted to generate FOMO with the end of the game.
Hmm maybe 🤔

@@thewynnest thank you bro, I gonna check it!😁✌️
Armada and X wing are still lively a decade later. This was FFG at it's peak. X-wing was more popular than 40k at one point.
Glad the community is taking over!

… and thanks! Have now bought and search for most of the Empire, Rebel and Republic ships. B***s deep into it 😅.
Whoopsss haha
Same here I started last week
X-wing is awesome. Too bad AGM abandoned it
Yeah it’s a bummer. But the community will make the best out of it. I know it.
@@thewynnest shatterpoint is great and I’ve been playing that way more than x-wing. I understand why they dropped x-wing. But it still sucks
@@justinmeyers5535think I saw your comment on the Legion video yeah hehe. I might give Shatterpoint a go in the next couple of months or so.
Star wars armada?
Trying that soon with my buddy (the one in the previous video).
I will never invest in Legion, it’s just a matter of time before they abandon that game and community. Battletech, is one of those games that been around for 40 years. Good enough for me. F ass-modee and AMG. FFG was ruined by them.
Yet another game I’m interested in at some point! Although I hope Legion will still be around.
After gong back to X-wing from battletech i really wish battletech had dials and manuevers. Its movement systems in classic AND alpha strike is kinda bad, unless you enjoying making conga lines.
@@kudosbudo he hee, yeah.
Why now? For youtube views obviously!
Obviously! Next time I’ll record it in a hot tub. Maybe that will help.
was close to dropping cash/time into this great looking game but lucky for my wallet disney ruined all things Star Wars for me
So cos you don't like disney star wars you are denying yourself a chance to play a great game? Are you ok?
