FFG STAR WARS GAMES - GEN CON 2014 FINAL REPORT
Fantasy Flight Games blew us away with all of their new STAR WARS Products this year. Now on Sunday we are all basking in the good vibes and as it ends I am looking forward to purchasing all of the awesome new toys!!!
Zach and Stephen sat down with Alex and Frank who are the currant X-WING Game design team. If you are a serious X-Wing player you should enjoy this interview.
The big questions we have all asked the most are all addressed here quite nicely. I like these fine X-Wingers!
I hope you all enjoyed my little compilation of GEN CON 2014 coverage.
I had high hopes for seeing at least one Imperial Huge ship for X-WING EPIC, but that disappointment is gone in light of the brand new goodies FFG has made for us.
I am pleased to see IMPERIAL ASSAULT, I am in love with ARMADA and absolutely ridiculously ecstatic over SCUM & VILLAINY! The big two Boss Wants items for me for months now have been some new Epic Huge Ships and a Pirate Faction. I got one of the two and then surprise, surprise a fleet scale game which will be a more comprehensive way to play the epic battles we all know and love from the Star Wars films!
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK FANTASY FLIGHT GAMES...

FFG STAR WARS GAMES - GEN CON 2014 REPORT: SATURDAY
Fantasy Flight Games charges into the weekend still going at warp speed, and we love them for it!
The Scum and Villainy Faction was fully previewed. I absolutely love it too! The team at Fantasy Flight Games have shown us an unprecedented level of commitment to their STAR WARS Products, which anyone who claims to love Star Wars should more than appreciate!
The SWAG provided in the Most Wanted Expansion is almost literally saying; "This is a Complete Faction from day one!" You can see that S&V has been given the same quality treatment that all FFG products enjoy. There are all kinds of goodies here including a new version of Boba Fett with Greedo, Jawas, alternate HWK's, more Droids, and... and... and!!!
STAR WARS ARMADA Demos continue over the weekend of course, and after further investigation into the new game I have fallen in completely in love with it. I am certainly going to buy into the complete product range.
STAR WARS IMPERIAL ASSAULT looks like a solid game. I am not surprised that FFG made it happen. I mean come on, you can essentially RPG Star Wars and that rings true to people like myself who did play the classic West End Games RPG back in the day. I am happy to see something that has that ring of past echos and yet is entirely modern in the design and play. Very nice work FFG... very nice indeed!
Zach and Stephen have a nice chat with the vice President of Fantasy Flight Games; Mr. Steve Horvath. This is a cool fellow indeed. They talked about all of the new Star Wars products and it was interesting to say the least.
More to come...

A lot of FFG STAR WARS Gamers wanted a tabletop miniatures game in the vain of older war-games. Now that Gen Con has conclude we know that STAR WARS ARMADA, with the
STAR WARS IMPERIAL ASSAULT answers that desire for most of us. I do not see Fantasy Flight Games ever making a ground based 40K-like version of X-WING. They are partnered with games workshop and that company would not appreciate direct competition from FFG.

FFG STAR WARS GAMES - GEN CON 2014 REPORT: FRIDAY
Fantasy Flight Games goes into warp drive right after they dropped bomb after bomb on us during their twelve o'clock high noon In-Flight Report! The full video for this event has yet to be uploaded so I will post it in another report.
Friday
FFG has released so much cool new product that the Gen Con Governors had to call out their Stormtroopers Transports to accommodate the teaming masses in their most desperate hour of trying to get to the FFG Retail Area!
Fantasy Flight Games launches their all new miniatures adventure board game STAR WARS IMPERIAL ASSAULT.
I have been quietly expecting some kind of ground based Star Wars game from FFG, and here it is! While I am delighted by what they have done, I have to admit that I am also very relieved that they did a neat D&D Adventure Game rather than trying to incorporate ground troops into the X-WING Game.
I have been slowly building everything that I need to make my own Star Wars Ground Based Game, so it was a great relief to know that our FFG friends have been sensible with their fine board game. That leaves it open for me to continue being completely unsensible with my own little Star Wars Ground War project.
THE BLACK SUN RISES!!!
A third faction coming to X-Wing has been a red hot topic at the FFG Forums for a while now. I happily took part in much of this speculation. Now that this wonderful new faction is here screaming into the game at full force... my Winger Brothers... I can not tell you in words just how very pleased I am about it!!!
Pictured above we see Wave Six of STAR WARS X-WING, this is however not the whole of the Scum & Villainy Faction. There will be new rules included in these ships to convert previous ships into Black Sun ships. Chief among these are the Firespray-31 and HWK-290.
FFG continues their STAR WARS ARMADA previews with one of my favorite Alliance Capitol Ships; The MARK II Assault Frigate, and the full range of wonderful little Rebel and Imperial Fighters and Bombers. This is all beyond cool! This is also our answer to the reason why we did not get any Imperial Epic Huge Ships. Armada is what X-WING EPIC cannot be. I am a little disappointed, but the grandeur of Armada, and the fact that I can make my own Vigil and other Imperial Capitol Ships will suffice. FFG may still do some more Huges but who knows what they will be or when they will be produced.
X-WING COMMAND was announced today too. This is Fantasy Flight Games Official Squadron Builder with additional nice functionality. Great guys, now make all of the Official X-Wing Acrylic Tokens available to us too...
Team Covenant takes us back to the magic cabinets shortly after the FFG In-Flight Report.
More to come...
