If you're a big fan of X-Wing at the moment then you'll be pleased to see some more information about the B-Wing & TIE Bomber from Fantasy Flight Games...
These are two more of the iconic ships from the world of Star Wars and if you've ever played any of the Rogue Squadron games you will have fond memories of both I'd imagine!
