If you don't already know, each faction's blister pack comes with two copies of two different ships. I don't plan to do anything with the ships in the Black Swans squadron pack or Ace Pack #4 because I'll never find them for a reasonable price. (Miniature Market is having a closeout sale on some of these until the end of March, by the way.) (2 sets are pretty much necessary because these are probably going to be swarmers) (1 of each should be fine these are costly top-of-the-line planes) So my goal is to be able to play a 100pt v 100pt battle using any two of these blister packs.ġx Hollywood Knights squadron blister and Ace Pack #1 Getting hold of the actual ship models isn't as easy as it once was.

CRIMSON SKIES MODS MOD

Yes, I would agree with you, but I'm designing this mod to work with my collection of WizKids Crimson Skies minis from 2003, which went out of print right away, and which I've only started collecting in 2016. So, an Xwing equivilant can be on par with a Bwing equivilant, but if they have different pilots, that's one way to make them different. (Farlander and Marrak Steele would have both the Fighter and Bomber pilot keywords) However, you wont catch any of them flying a Ywing.

Wedge and Corran are Aces, so they can fly any fighter, from Wraith Squadron Tie fighters on up to Isard's Tie Defenders to scum Clutches. So to use an Xwing example, Han and Dash are Freighter Pilots- their pilot ability can only apply to YT 24, YV666, HWK, Imperial Shuttle, and possibly the GR75 and Golzanti. If you separate ships from pilots, keyword the pilots. I'll post a text dump here soon with all the work I've done so far.

Rocket ordnance is powerful, usually Range 1-2 (appropriate for the period I think), and requires a focus token but you usually don't have to spend it. Target locks are uncommon as standard equipment. So expect every ship to have at least one of boost, barrel roll and slam. You have to fly those guys more carefully in order to line up shots.Įvery ship should have some kind of action to make additional movement after maneuvering. Single-engine interceptor-type planes have somewhat narrower firing arcs than the standard. Rear gunner turrets can fire in a 180 degree arc to the rear (or maybe a narrower arc depending on the ship). In playtesting, this worked better than I hoped, and it's one less rule to remember. Range bonuses apply to all non-bomb attacks (bombs are for scenario use only anyway). Most of the elite upgrades are adapted from ones we already have in X-Wing.

(And then they are discarded.) You can have multiple copies of the same elite upgrade card on a ship, but you can't play the same elite upgrade twice on the same ship on the same turn. Upgrade cards are placed facedown during play, and are not revealed until they are used. Most pilots have 1 or 2 (or even 3) elite upgrade slots.

(Worked well in playtest.)Īll elite upgrades are free (0 points) and they are all discarded after use (one-time-only effects). Pilot skill conflicts are likely, and making the most of the ebb and flow of initiative is a fun dynamic. Initiative switches players at the end of each round. Pilot skill ranges from 1 (rookies) to 5 (aces). I don't need motivation (I've already written a playable version of the first draft and the first playtest was mostly without problems), I'm mostly looking for ideas for interesting mechanics. So I'm asking for any ideas you have for moving this project forward. It's an opportunity to explore some X-Wing 2.0 rules ideas, along with some rules that are tailored just for the Crimson Skies look and feel. All I need are rules, a card list, terrain, maybe some scenarios.

I just snapped off the click bases, magnetized my Crimson Skies models and it's pretty much ready to go. Now I'm developing a FlightPath style game to play with them because it's a perfect fit. I've acquired the four easy-to-find squadron blister packs for the 2003 WizKids Crimson Skies game.
