I got a few new minis for X-Wing Miniatures in yesterday and had a chance to try them out on the table top last night. I decided to field Han Solo in the Millennium Falcon with a B-Wing and HWK backing him up. My opponent brought a pair of bounty hunters in Firesprays with two supporting TIEs. It ended up being an incredibly close match with a few exciting swings in momentum. The TIEs were quickly destroyed in rounds 2 and 3. Eventually, Han and one of the Firesprays went down. It proved difficult for the B-wing to close on the remaining Firespray and finish him off. They traded shots, and though the B-wing was lost, the bounty hunter's ship was in critical shape and had the potential of exploding on any subsequent round. Hoping the critical damage could finish off the remaining hunter, Kyle Katarn in the HWK tried to put distance between himself and the bounty hunter. Alas, the Firespray survived the odds on his continuing critical damage and made a lucky range 3 shot on the HWK to end the game. Fun stuff even though I'm something like 1-3 in my Star Wars dogfights so far.
Nice looking stuff there! I havent gotten into the SW minis, but they look great.
