Bugs: Recent Topics Paging, Uploading Images & Preview (11 Dec 2020)
Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.
D&D: Attack Wing
But mini quality is key. If pre-painted its gotta be xwing quality at least, otherwise id rather have clean sculpts that I can paint (I very much doubt this).

-No pre-measuring stuff
-Area attack weapons
-Different altitudes (High/Low/Ground)
-Stuff that "recharges" over multiple turns after use
-Troops form into blocks/regiments instead of a skirmish/dispersed formation
-The biggest draw that may have sealed my level of interest though is there is a campaign system. The first 19 expansions are all tying into the same story. I just skimmed the bits at this point but the base game comes with two scenarios and depending on the results the first (2-player) has five potential outcomes depending on what happened in the match. The second scenario has seven or eight potential outcomes and is a 3-player scenario. These results provide bonuses, EX so to speak.
So...I guess once my FLGS owner gets back from GenCon I need to offer up my services of running that event at the store.

X-wing is the favored game among my wife's friends. Though no one wants to buy any, just play with our models... But you are right Dragons are a bigger general appeal.VonTush wrote: Maybe this might be sexist or un-pc, but I haven't seen many females playing XWing or Attack Wing and I do think that Dragons would have a wider general appeal.
The rules you posted made me do a 180 on this title. I went from not caring at all to excited. By allowing a mix of aerial and ground units aswell as a campaign system, this has a chance of knocking X-wing off the table in my house.

My guess are things move off of that "Point Unit" and then get rearranged from there. So that way you can do a little formation changing along the way.

The XP that you can gain are used to purchase additional upgrade slots for your units/dragons or spent on additional build points.
Flying units have two movement dials, one for flying and one for ground movement.
Armor is pretty awesome in that it negates hits (not crits though), but doesn't disappear like shields in XWing or AW. It can become shattered though where you flip the token over and ignore it until repaired.

Edit:
Jesus, BGG finally improved their host, the lady doing this doesn't make me uncomfortable the whole time.
I think you're slightly understating, the dragons look amazing. Those paint jobs look great too---could be just for the early kit though. WAY better than Wizkids prepaints I've seen, I think FFG really shamed them into doing a better job with X-wing.
I was 0% interested but seeing them via video and hearing about ground troop stuff really has me listening. I don't think it's a day one, but it's one of those things I may buy off Barnes when he tires of them. I do still think Wizkids has something to prove in terms of putting out as slick a product as FFG.
It's a beautiful time to be a geek child. It like literally would not have computed that something this awesome existed during my dragonlance book years in middle school.
