The 2014 X-Wing™ World Championship is almost upon us! Will you gain glory and recognition from Rebels and Imperials alike? Or will you be just another ship silhouette painted on your enemy’s hull?
Whether you’re planning on joining us for Worlds or going to play in your local game night, reading the new FAQ (pdf, 7.1 MB) and tournament rules (pdf, 4.1 MB) can help you prepare. For those participating in larger scale battles, the Epic tournament rules (pdf, 4.8 MB) remain unchanged.
These changes will go into effect on October 20th, 2014.
A Word from the Developers
Hello pilots!
This time around in the FAQ we have a couple of errata, a couple of rules clarifications, and a few minor rules changes. The tournament rules feature one minor change that will allow tournament organizers to manage pairings more easily, as well as make each match more competitive by pairing players to opponents with similar Margin of Victory records.
Both of the errata come from the new YT-2400 Expansion Pack: Lone Wolf and Stay on Target. This resolves some confusion about whether a ship is considered at Range 1 of itself (it is) and whether Stay on Target can be used abusively in tandem with Navigator (it can’t).
The rules clarifications and changes affect a few corner cases that will not come up often
for most players. The first rules clarification has to do with values being increased and
decreased by different game effects, which has become relevant with the introduction of the VT-49 Decimator and its agility value of “0.” The other clarification is tied to a rule change around Autoblaster and the distinction between “dice results” and “hit or evade results.”
We’ve also simplified Proximity Mines and changed the way stationary maneuvers and overlapping interact.
Additionally, the new FAQ provides answers to questions surrounding Dash Rendar, Keyan Farlander, Push the Limit, Experimental Interface, and what happens if a ship overlaps both an asteroid and a debris cloud.
Thanks for continuing to support this great game, and we hope to see you this November for the 2014 World Championship Weekend!
Happy hunting,
Frank Brooks and Alex Davy
