X-WING "Courier Escort" game report.
« on: March 03, 2013, 08:56:52 AM »

This is the 2nd game of X-wing I have played and the first one my wife has played.  We played an 8 turn game in a couple of hours stumbling through the rules.  This is a pretty solid game.  It's easy to play and fun and the pre-painted minis for it actually look good. 

After going to the demo today at my FLGS I purchased 5 more ships for the game and then came home and painted up this starfield board in a couple hours. 

Here is the report:http://ironworkersminiatures.blogspot.com/2013/03/x-wing-courier-escort-game-report.html

The original Wings of War was brilliant...this is a nice rendition.  I am also excited about the Napoleon naval warfare game Ares will be producing.  Glad you like it.  I don't like Star Wars enough to go about collecting any, but I'd play it for laughs without hesitation.  Nice mat you have there too!  GF9?

The mat is a piece of Masonite I painted up just before playing the game.

Nice battle report. I think Ill porba ly pick that game up some time soon. Ive been eyeing it for a while now. I really like your gaming surface. Most of the home-made space boards I see look home-made. Yours does not. Just use spray paints?
