About the game
If you're a fan of X-Wing and looking to upgrade your space battles, the TIE Bomber expansion is a must-have! While this fighter might not be the fastest or most agile in the Imperial fleet, it makes up for it with an insane payload capacity. Think of it as a true bomber, but in space: it can carry torpedoes, missiles, and, of course, bombs (the proton ones are fan favorites!).

This expansion includes a brand-new TIE Bomber miniature, which adds a special flair to your game table. Alongside it, you'll find new upgrade cards that unlock a wide array of heavy armaments for your ship. There are five upgrade options that will make your enemies sweat, especially if you opt for the dreaded Proton Bombs. Additionally, you get an updated maneuver dial and all the necessary tokens to get this war machine up and running.

And to add that special touch of variable player powers, the expansion introduces four new pilots with unique abilities. This means each game can have a different dynamic, depending on who you choose to pilot this beast. It's the perfect addition for those who want to add more firepower and tactical options to their base X-Wing game, turning dogfights into true bombing runs. If you're a Star Wars fan and enjoy strategy with miniatures, this expansion is a treat for expanding your fleets and dominating the galaxy.
