Star Wars X-Wing 1st Edition Miniatures Game Rebel Aces EXPANSION PACK - Unleash Heroic Pilots! Strategy Game for Kids & Adults, Ages 14+, 2 Players, 30-45 Minute Playtime, Made by Atomic Mass Games

Super legit. Awesome models, great alternate paint jobs and some really fantastic pilot and upgrade cards. My only complaint is that the best A-Wing pilot comes with the base A-Wing expansion. I feel like he should have come in the Rebel Aces Expansion or that the Aces expansion should have had a better pilot. Isn't that what Ace means...? No real complaints though, just an annoyance. The game is fun and the models are awesome even if you don't play the game.

This has been one of my favorite rebel purchases thus far. The b-wing is slow but powerful and the a-wing is fast but vulnerable and together they make an amazing team. To start the models are beautiful, as always, with some really cool alternate paint schemes that really make them pop. The b-wing’s maneuvering dial is nothing to write home about with a lot of red and not a lot of green maneuvers. The a-wing’s maneuvering dial is pretty impressive and is very reminiscent of the imperial tie fighters (a-wings are basically the rebels version of tie fighters). Now the flip side of the coin, the a-wings stats are pretty bad clearly favoring a higher agility with 2 primary weapons, 3 agility, 2 hull, and 2 shields and the b-wings stats are interesting with 3 primary weapons, 1 agility, 3 hull, and 5 shields. Yes 5 shields! It may be slow and totally lack agility but with 5 shields who cares! Overall these are two very different crafts that I find myself using over and over again in squads.

Addendum: I am leaving this at 4 stars still, it is a good purchase, as a Rebel player you'll want/need it, Amazon has a good price, but having ordered another from Amazon and had an issue I do want to update this to protect others from the issue I faced (as Amazon was not the easiest to report the issue to)... IMPORTANT: Make sure, as soon as you get it, you inspect the B Wing connection joint at the back. Don't be a fool like me (9 times of 10 I check first but the one time I don't...) and get it, open it all and put cards away etc., making it unreturnable, and only then notice your B Wing was broken on arrival. Check The B Wing Right Away! Original Review: I can't recommend this enough, the B Wing is one of the most solid (point efficient) ships in the game and has found a niche in most game metas since it was released. The A Wing gets the Chardon(sp) Refit card from this set [give up your probably unused missile slot, make the craft lower points], and they give you enough to use on other A-Wings you might have bought separately, making it the premiere Rebel low cost fighter. This set gives you both for less than the cost of purchasing each separately AND gives you pilots not in the main packs AND gives you some very nice cards and upgrades for each and for general use. The model quality was also above average. This is a must for using A Wings, near a must for using B Wings, and has several great general use cards too, this is a no brainer for Rebel players and a contender even for other factions if they can't get the cards through other means. ... plus I got it for my best buddy's kid and he loved it, thought they were the coolest ships ever, so beyond the competitive use in games I'm fond of this set. Oh and I almost forgot, some fun pilots not in the core A and B sets. If I forget what my wife sounds like when she curses I just play Gemmer, slap on a 'stealth device' card ('auto thrusters' or 'shield upgrade' are options too), action an evade when I can, and wait a few turns. ;)

This expansion not only gives you an A-wing and a B-wing with alternate paint schemes but it gives you a slew of new pilots and upgrades that bring the A-wing back as a contender vs. other Rebel ships. This is a great addition to any Rebel squadron and comes with a few unique tokens and one mission. I will be fielding both of these ships with several of the upgrade cards in my next 100 point competition squad.

Great set adds variety to your battles at a good price. Others have detailed it better than I could. Just know that it is fun.

Bought it for the minis since I have the 2nd ed. Conversion kit can’t really rate the cards included

Great way to acquire two ships at a discounted price. The pilot cards and upgrades that come with this expansion pack are great additions to your squadron. The alternative paint jobs also let you mix up the look of your squadron.

Bought this because I wanted both. I realize now that I need to also buy the single A and B wings to really get the best out of them. The A wing is painted like the Ralph McQuarrie A wing. Blue with the white arrow. A great look. Having so much fun with this game, going to buy more.

Esta expansión trae todo lo necesario para añadir un Ala A y un Ala B a tus partidas. Puede ser un genial complemento si estas empezando y ya tienes el Core Básico. La expansión trae dos naves con patrón de pintura alternativo, lo que es un plus y varios tripulantes muy valiosos. Por cierto, tanto las instrucciones, como los cartones y cartas están en inglés.

This expansion gives you the super nimble A Wing as well as the sturdy weapons platform the B Wing plus some amazing upgrades. It introduces the modification cards which are sweet! This is a must have for the rebel fleet and should be purchased after the core set if you plan on having some rebel variety!

Añadir dos naves adicionales, una B-Wing y una A-Wing pero con colores variantes del normal (la B-Wing normal es gris con detalles naranjas y la A-wing normal es blanco con rojo). Además trae nuevos pilotos y más cartas de combate muy útiles.

Anybody looking to expand their Rebel fleet should certainly consider this expansion. After the X-wing, the A-wing and the B-wing are probably the next most recognisable of the rebels smaller ships. Having the two different ships in the Rebel Aces expansion means that you can quickly build up a bit more variation in you fleet. The A-Wing's core stats are: Attack: 2, Agility: 3, Hull: 2, Shields: 2. The A-wing can also Focus, Target Lock, Boost, and Dodge. The B-Wing's core stats are: Attack: 3, Agility: 1, Hull: 3, Shields: 5. The A-wing can also Focus, Target Lock, Barrel Roll. The paint jobs belong to unique squadrons with specific pilots to make this expansion different to the stand alone A-wing and B-wing expansions. A great Star Wars miniature set if you are just starting out and looking for some new ships to grow your rebel fleet. For myself, it was the first expansion I bought after the core set (Not including the millennium Falcon of course!).

Cette extension rend le A-wing un peu plus intéressant à mon sens et permet de mettre un équipage au B-Wing ! Que demande le peuple (rebelle) ?
