Hello everyone. I am brand new to the community. I just discovered X-Wing miniatures as of Dec 21 and bought up all i could find since then. Are there any members who would be interested in meeting regularly, or semi regularly to play?
I have been putting feelers out there in person and on forums since i discovered the X-Wing Miniatures Game in December 2014.
Does anyone still play this game? Would you like to learn how to play this game? I'm looking for anyone interested in playing it with me: Tournament prepping. Epic battles. Recreational scenarios. Or just meet up, order pizza and lets have a grand melee.
I have a large collection already and it is growing fast. I have a 3' X 3' star field vinyl mat - extendable to 3' X 6' for small scale or epic battles. I have both Imperial and Rebel models to share if you haven't your own to bring.
If you're interested please comment below. Thank you.
If you know someone who has X-wing, and is also seeking a group please share this post. Thank you.
Regards,
Jemmer
I know there are guys around here that play. I have a couple of co-workers that I have played with at Boston Pizza on Chewsday Night. DCStyles (Derek Chow) is running a tournament at the Prairie Game Expo on January 17th. Here is a link to the posting: Link (http://sask.games/index.php?topic=4065.msg22519#msg22521)
Thanks David. Just starting to get into that big time. I'm hoping there is a community here for it so any direction is much appreciated :D
I have already found the Jan 17 tournament and registered to participate. Can't wait.
Sounds good. Hopefully some of the people that actually play the game will post here and let you know about what else goes on in Regina with regards to this game.

Have a great time Jem!
ComicReaders Downtown in Regina runs X-Wing tournaments in the store from time-to-time. 100pt tournaments. Keep an eye on the ComicReaders Downtown venue on saskgames.com for upcoming dates. We were doing them once a month but took a break for the Christmas holidays. Should be back in action come February 2015.
How is X-wing progressing Jem?
Have you looked at Armada?
-looks very impressive!
I too just found the game, receiving the core set for Christmas and going a bit crazy on ships in anticipation!
Would welcome the chance to engage in a battle for real sometime.
Hey Mister Dodge!
There is quite the group in Regina - Curtis, Justin, & Kyle (who all play FoW) plus a bunch of other guys. They have already had a few tournaments as well:

Well it has been over a year - how is X-Wing for you Jem?

Hey Lance. Good to hear from you. Well to answer your question in a word - DEAD. Lol. Mid May was the last time for me. As a community we kept getting pushed out at Tramps by other gamers despite having bookings and reservation time. There was a disconnection between Chris and the Saturday staff, so by the time it got sorted frustrations out weighed interest. Haven't played X-Wing in over 9 months. Recently, now it seems Armada has taken over the X-Wing circles - and I don't have the funds nor interest to remortgage the house to get into Armada. So my $1000 collection got use over the holidays as my Christmas diorama in lieu of a tree. lol. I still buy X-Wing but at this point it is just to collect and add to my diorama.
How is Flames of War doing? i see you guys are busy busy busy.
Sorry to hear/read that Jem
Yes, Flames of War marches on! Doing demos every month, tournaments every two months, & large events every quarter!
Let me know if you ever want to try FoW again - maybe another teacher might be better.
I think I would like to try it again and there was nothing wrong with the instructions before. It was simply a format that was completely foreign to me. Being used to playing only rigid and very structured systems like battletech or X-wing for example. Now that I have been around more 'open movement' style gaming I think i would have a better grasp of it next time. Does that make sense? And thanks for the offer :)
Very welcome Jem

Hey Jemmer,
There is actually a solid group of us who play X-Wing here in Regina. We often meet on Saturday's at Tramps to have games, as well on Thursday nights at Comic Readers. We have occasional tournaments and events as well.
