Great if they get the stuff out in time and you get it but if sales do not hit required levels then the plug gets pulled. I think given the positive reviews and the two target audiences it will do well<br /><br />IanIanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113835961977211021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7541855965348525624.post-51906474746086140052012-12-07T22:52:52.694+01:002012-12-07T22:52:52.694+01:00Of course I want more.

If you play the game,...Well... that's my point. If you play the game, sure it's fine with just the starter, but you would want another ship... then another... then a third. So by getting another starter you are effectively getting 50% off on the third ship, compared to buying them separately.<br /><br />I bought a starter and one each of the expansions, so I have two X-wings and three ties now, and one Y-wing and one Tie advanced... but I want more :-) Laffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09125733864107467243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7541855965348525624.post-11316437644501093212012-12-07T09:28:59.507+01:002012-12-07T09:28:59.507+01:00The initial price and the sustained financial effo...The initial price and the sustained financial effort that you may require over time; and as I replied to Leif above, I'm concerned about the temptation of these guys entering into a GW approach considering the initial success of the franchise. I estimated that to start with a good foot in the game we'll need the initial kit plus 2 Imperial and 1 rebel expansion kits, which means investing close to 100€... that's a demanding entry fee!

From what I saw, you need to know very well the strengths and weaknesses fo your own and the foe's ships. That's ona aspect that I liked because it is a truly tactical game and the random factor (combat dice throws) are of limited impact on the game developmentAnibal Invictushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00574972963418062956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7541855965348525624.post-88614466035155613032012-12-07T09:22:49.984+01:002012-12-07T09:22:49.984+01:00Thanks Leif, in addition to the price my other con...Thanks Leif, in addition to the price my other concern is these guys entering into a GW spiral: getting you hooked in "more powerful and increasingly expensive" kits buying frenzy Anibal Invictushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00574972963418062956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7541855965348525624.post-87676208700468591952012-12-07T08:38:00.996+01:002012-12-07T08:38:00.996+01:00The price is my only sticking point!The price is my only sticking point!The Angry Lurkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227314379603418332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7541855965348525624.post-13952508675132823192012-12-07T01:06:05.129+01:002012-12-07T01:06:05.129+01:00Saw this being played in the club tonight.

Seemed to be a lot of fun but the rebel player was bemoaning how points cheap the Tie's were - so the Empire player can field a lot of them in a game.

If they are worth it only you can decide. You do get other unique pilots in the X-wing and Tie expansion too.Laffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09125733864107467243noreply@blogger.com
