Interesting new forum about Star Wars Ground Assault.

Here's a fellow's blog, with reports on a campaign running since November 2014.

I really admire this, as advancement is from 'kills', not from what you can buy or pick up at OP, and that is a LONG time for a successful campaign!

This entry is 'Ground Attack', and while not as detailed as you're going for, might give inspiration.

Cheers for the mention, The Beast.

We have used "ground forces" a few times and it really is quite straight forward, X Wing could already be a ground bases game anyway, there are no altitude rules for example, everyone flies at the same level.

X-Wing is getting a new wave update including Kylo Ren's shuttle.

My Star Wars project has been dormant for a while but with the new film, various toys have become available again.
I now have two AT-ATs and 3 AT-STs.

Scarif Shuttle Pad
I have started to build a landing pad for the battle of Scarif from Rogue One. This is mostly scratch build from plasticard.

X-Wing have announced two of the Rogue One ships

U-wing
https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2016/11/28/valuable-intel/

I already bought a U-wing from Hot Wheels on 23rd December from a department store for about US$ 12 and then saw it in the supermarket for about US$ 9 an hour later.
I plan to use this with the dial and cards from another ship (possibly Slave I)

TIE Striker
There is also a new TIE Striker fighter for the Empire

Rogue One Cargo Shuttle
The Imperial Rogue One Cargo Shuttle is available in the Star Wars Black Titanium Series which is probably a bit small for X-Wing. I have ordered it and will and use it with the dial card and stands for the Imperial Shuttle.

Questions
Has anybody created rules for ground forces and ground / air combat in X-Wing?

Are there other vehicles available now that work with X-Wing? – AT-AT? Snow speeders?
(I recall here was a Hoth Battle set but that des not appear to be available now)

Thanks
Mick

Hi, here some very inspiring ground-assault models and X-Wing compatible rules:

https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/topic/105371-dont-hassle-the-hoth/?hl=%20don

There is also this similar project
https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/topic/230472-my-battle-of-hoth-cards-rules-etc/

Hope these help: After seeing SW:Rogue One, I have dug out my old AMT Battle of Hoth sets, including one unpainted set. Glueing away today and hope to do a ground battle soon, but not Hoth, Scarrif or Endor, but rather one of the lesser known engagements of the Galactic Civil War that suits my available terrain and forces and allows me to write my own scenario. Good luck with your project!

Some more progress.

I bought some slatted floor plasticard (Evergreen V groove Platte) which resembles the floor of the launch pad.
I also made the corner pieces and various crates and barrels from plasticard etc.
Everything has had a first coat of paint - lots of detail to do afterwards.
For the moment, I have a blue cloth for the sea and a cardboard island.
I have not decided how to do the final terrain.

I will carry on with the detail painting.

I also received three Star Wars Black Titanium Series Shuttles.
Kylo Ren's Shuttle has fixed wings and is quite small and boring.
Krennics Imperial Shuttle is very nice and has moving wings.
The Imperial Cargo Shuttle SW-0608 is a nice model with moving wings.

Next step is to make the characters but that will have to wait.
I have ordered the "Star Wars Rogue One The Ultimate Visual Guide"
When it arrives, I will start on the figures, but I will probably have to order some stuff from Pendraken first.

Looks great, and huge fun to play - I wonder will Scarif be the new Hoth?
