About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for some space combat with the B-wing expansion pack for Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures Game! This iconic starfighter, known for its heavy armor and resilient shielding, is a true Rebel Alliance tank, ready to get into the thick of it. With this expansion, you add a detailed 1/270 scale B-wing miniature to your fleet, along with a maneuver dial, all the necessary tokens, four pilot cards to bring your crew to life, and an arsenal of five upgrade cards. What makes the B-wing special is its versatility in close-quarters combat. It can be equipped with an enhanced targeting system for precision, and can carry up to two torpedoes, including the devastating Advanced Proton Torpedoes. And if that's not enough, it can also mount a cannon. The catch? These short-range torpedoes only work against enemies within range 1. But don't worry, the B-wing is built for this! With five shields and the ability to perform barrel rolls, it's perfect for getting up close and personal to wreak havoc, even in the most intense battles. It's the missing piece for anyone who wants to dominate the battlefield with firepower and resilience. If you enjoy X-Wing and want more tactical options for your battles, this expansion brings a formidable assault fighter that will make a difference.
