About the game

What you do in a play session

The Rebellion needs more speed and agility, and that's where the A-wing comes in! This expansion for X-Wing brings a brand-new miniature of the RZ-1 A-wing interceptor, that nimble Rebel starfighter that proved to be a nightmare for Star Destroyers during the Battle of Endor. If you enjoy piloting fast and maneuverable ships, this expansion is for you.

With the A-wing, you add a new dimension to your Rebel squadrons. The pack includes the A-wing miniature, of course, but the real gems are the four different pilots to put in the cockpit and the five upgrade cards that give that special touch. Each pilot has their own unique abilities, so the right choice can make all the difference in a tight dogfight.

The A-wing is known for being an elite fighter, one that only the most skilled pilots can push to its limits. Prepare for daring maneuvers and intense combat, where every decision counts. This expansion is perfect for those who want to boost their Rebel fleet and add an extra challenge to space battles. It's an excellent addition for those who already master the base game and are looking for new tactical options.
