X-Wing Academy Lesson #2 - Formation Flying & Manuevers

Not all ships are meant to fly solo. Take the puny TIE fighters for instance, individually they are laughably weak but a TIE Swarm is a force to be reckon with. Especially when the Swarm comes with Howlrunner for attack dice re-rolls. And with ships facing in the same direction, a Swarm gangs up on 1 ship and kills it with focus fire. Same goes for Rebels, its always a good idea to have all your ships line up shots on a single target.

Formation flying is easy. Really. Enough materials have been written on maneuvers that there isn't any reason for me to create my own. Here's some links to help you guys out:


Or visit the M'sian X-Wing Facebook page and look up the pdf file uploaded by Riznal here.

These are good stuffs. You'll never bump into your own ships again. Ever.

And to whoever wrote these, on behalf of all X-Wing players, I thank you for it.
