Barnestorming Episode IV- X-Wing in Review, Avengers, Battle Born

Star Wars is cool again.

On the Table

X-wing it is. Full review. It’s definitely in the competition for best of 2012. I’m glad I took a chance on it and listened to instinct rather than that dastardly Pete Ruth, who poo-pooed it and tried to get me to buy a bunch of Silent Death. This game is the Star Wars game that you’ve always wanted, and yes that means it blows The Queen’s Gambit out of the water if only because there’s no Jar-Jar Binks and you never once think about midchlorians at any point while you’re playing it. It is almost exactly what I had hoped for- a simple, no-fuss miniatures game about moving and shooting with a huge scoop of Star Wars on top.
