About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to deploy the Alpha-Class Star Wing, that Imperial starfighter that made a splash with shields and a hyperdrive, even if it wasn't the most agile. This beauty, found in this expansion pack for X-Wing, is a flying tank, ready to unleash a torrent of missiles and cannons. With 2 agility, 4 hull, and 3 shields, it can take a beating and dish it back out, destroying everything in its path. The pre-painted miniature is a sight to behold, true to the details we love. Besides the miniature, the pack is loaded with 4 ship cards, 7 upgrade cards to boost your warrior, a maneuver dial to keep you on course, and reference cards for key actions like reloading and using jam tokens. Everything you need to get this war machine flying and dominate the space skies. It's the missing piece for those who enjoy a robust ship with respectable firepower in the Star Wars: X-Wing universe.
