That’s one epic conversion package for an epic plundering of your wallet …

It is nice to have it as an option, but …

They really must think that people love to play X-wing so much that they want to pay extra for the privilege of using the ‘new’ version. The ‘big’ ships in the old version were IMHO better suited as display models and less practical as a unit in the game at the Xwing scale.

I really wonder why their marketing department thought this was a good idea.
And I want to know why the game designers wanted to change so much about the system that they are effectively requiring players to buy their collection again.

Or is this simply the flaw that is in the X-wing business model of selling ships + tokens as opposed to the format used by the average wargame ?
I hope they re-think their SKU’s when/if they ever decide to do a version 3 of this system …
