    Man, I don't even know how many times I watched it - 50 maybe? It is so much fun to see them playing, relaxed and enjoying every minute of it. Love it!

    I'm so stoked for this, i've been waiting for a refresh for x wing for quite a long while. This really seems like took a lot of work and planning from ffg.

    Really sad about the AMG’s announcement cancelling X-Wing. I only got into it in the AMG era during the holidays last year, but I found this video and really loved it. You guys had great energy and really communicated the joy of the game. Just revisiting it now for a rewatch. I hope one day you guys get Alex back for a casual match! 2.0E, 2.5E, whatever!

    I love how that U-wing just spun in circles, was never hit until the end (and that was only shields lost), and just went disco lasers on shooting because of that spinning.

  • @PerfectJayDread
    @PerfectJayDread 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    The flying together aspect of compressing PS (now Initiative) is an interesting one I hadn't considered. But ultimately I feel like the only Init that will matter will just be the highest and the lowest just like it was before.

    • @kyle857
      @kyle857 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      PerfectJayDread Where it helps is you will have more ships that are the same PS making flying them together much easier. I used to have a really difficult time making a squad of all 7s or 8s because ships I wanted to fly didn't have pilots of that skill level

    • @kyle857
      @kyle857 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nah. They are giving mid level pilots some great abilities which will keep them relevant.

  • @grindstone4910
    @grindstone4910 6 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I play a community-made story-based co-op with my friends, instead of the pvp tourny stuff. Much more fun, it's like playing a tabletop RPG. Would be great if this style of play was incorporated into the base game from the maker.

    • @swingheilbaby
      @swingheilbaby 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      How do you co-op this game? Is it 1 vs. All? I assume someone has to play the opposition.

    • @DunantheDefender
      @DunantheDefender 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      SR Forrester I imagine someone plays like a DM, making decisions and squads and encounters with a mind towards what's fun to play against, and not just what wins. Either that, or it's team v. team with an evolving narrative based on who wins each battle.

    • @DunantheDefender
      @DunantheDefender 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Grindstone just think, maybe you can even design custom legalities and point costs, then create something that uses it, upload it, and all your players can access it in-app. Wouldn't that be so freakin awesome?

    • @VictorSteiner

    @MrPeter13th 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    @Team Convenant I have a question, I just started to watch this video again and was mentioned that the optimized prototype could be assigned to the TIE Reaper. but that is actually possible in 1.0 but in 2.0 you can't. since the card reads "to another friendly ship". that was confusing...

    • @teamcovenant
      @teamcovenant  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for letting us know! We will look into it.

  • @regeoberon3676
    @regeoberon3676 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Question: In First Edition a ship cannot take the same action twice in one activation. In Second Edition, some actions are linked. Could a ship with Focus>Boost take their linked Focus action, Boost, then clear stress (as demonstrated in the video), and use their normal Boost action?

  • @liemsolow3697
    @liemsolow3697 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    So, can someone explain how you'll know what upgrades you can have now, and how many points stuff will cost?

    • @teamcovenant
      @teamcovenant  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Point costs will be available via the FFG Squadbuilder app, which has yet to be released.

  • @BeKindToBirds
    @BeKindToBirds 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    This video sold the game to me. I've bought myself 6 ships already, not even ones that could really be a list just some of my favorites. Really liking all of this and looking forward to having this as a hobby as opposed to something like MTG where you always have to stay on top of buying new random crap to keep playing at home you can just buy your favorite ships for a really reasonable price and have fun playing them for ever.

  • @robertwoods2178
    @robertwoods2178 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    On the optimized prototype do you have to have a focus token in order to spend an eyeball dice?

    • @teamcovenant
      @teamcovenant  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nope! Just spend a die that is on the eyeball side.

  • @amusement420
    @amusement420 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Since the Y-wing didn’t attack. When do you get to turn a turret in a different direction during gameplay apart from the game setup?

    • @teamcovenant
      @teamcovenant  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      A ship take a 'rotate action' to turn a turret to any other firing arc.

    • @amusement420
      @amusement420 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for clarifying. I figured out the action symbol and primary turret weapon symbols when I watched FFG’s full ‘X-Wing 2.0 - Rebel Alliance Conversion Kit Unboxing’ last night (the last one I watched of the 3 factions and the one with the most turrets incl the Y-wing upgrade lol)
      Here’s what I transcribed paraphrasing:
      Alex called it a Double Arc Primary Turret Weapon. The ship card symbol represents turrets on top and bottom of a ship and it fires 180 deg mobile coverage so no ship has a 360 deg coverage field of fire anymore (Frank pointed out to me in an email once explaining the Outrider there is no 360 deg ‘arc’ in the game) but basically you can fire right and left or forward and aft ship base quadrant wedge arcs when you turn the turret.
      I assume you roll attack dice to fire one direction then the defender rolls then you resolve damage. then repeat for the other direction one right after the other since they’re attacking two different ships?
      They show the punch board piece at 23:40 how it points to two opposite quadrants of coverage.
      I don’t think they have the big circle arrow on the base anymore(?) they didn’t show a lot of cardboard
      Also the proverbial donut hole in which 1.0 couldn’t attack at range 1 on the YT-2400 2.0 it now has a title built in called Sensor Blindspot it effectively has half attack instead of no attack.
      They really toned down, drew in, nerfed, streamlined, chained popular actions to stress and weapon capabilities and character abilities and added titles built in to the ship and upgrade cards for a lot of capabilities overall is what I’ve learned from yours and FFG’s videos. I can definitely see how it puts a premium on planning and maneuvering to set up combat ie. destroying ships as a squad better.
      Bottom line is they learned from and reined in the competitive meta mayhem they unintentionally I assume created is the upside.
      Now let’s see how competitive meta min max players corrupt this 2.0 system. I know they’re up to the task already. I say that half jokingly.
      This coming from a person whose collected X-w, not played much, never competitive, no missions yet, no heroes of the atrui cluster, but figured out how to play it solo without charts or rolling dice just play each ship to win that turn, but learned a lot about it from TC and other channels, blogs, flipperoverlord’s X-wing for Beginners PDF on FFG forums, video batreps and yet another squad builder.
      unfortunately a double edge sword. learn from, be frustrated, confused, suffocated by the competitive meta and the number of cards in the game. probably because I min-max in D&D when I played it so I would do the same ; )
      One thing to note is I think FFG did a fantastic job of capturing the Star Wars movie canon and EU theme & mechanics and not repeating them on any two cards. Time will tell if that translates to 2.0.
      Long post. But I do that when I’m interested in figuring something out ;

    So a new damage deck. Does this mean the Force Awakens damage deck is done with after release? Or you think we'll get the option like before between the core and TFA core?

  • @shygun3549
    @shygun3549 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    How many focus tokens/evade tokens can each ship have at one time? In the starter edition it made it sound like you could have any amount which sounds crazy to me so my friends and I agreed to a maximum of two for each ship. Did I read the rules wrong or....?

      We are looking into that today, but needless to say we are pursuing it pretty fervently.

  • @JamesEck
    @JamesEck 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I love how Benthic took a red coordinate to give Jek a focus, when he could have taken two focuses and given one to Jek with no stress and less risk at 1:47:30

    • @teamcovenant
      @teamcovenant  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      But that is just not how the Tube brothers roll!

    • @JamesEck
      @JamesEck 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Exactly, it wouldn't have been "tubular" to use his brotherly trick so soon after his brother's death.

  • @echdareez

    • @teamcovenant

      It is the special one they usually take to conventions - a big, sculpted thing. Incredibly fun to play on, but unfortunately not for sale.

    • @echdareez
      @echdareez 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Team Covenant Aaaaaaaaaaah! That explains a lot 👍🏼 The size seemed bigger than their regular playmats so yeah, the reason I couldn't find it 😏 Appreciated!

  • @IanJoshuaSantosallthingian
    @IanJoshuaSantosallthingian 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    1:06:40 why didn’t Zach do the linked actions? Barrel roll and red focus?

  • @MrCooperst
    @MrCooperst 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey was I missing something, shouldnt benthic have been able to pass those focuses to jek too? I assumed he didnt because the other 2 tubes gets the bonus, but then he did a coordinate and took a stress when he could have ended up unstressed with a focus, right?

    • @SoaringEmbers
      @SoaringEmbers 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Having 2 focus tokens counters Ferophs ability if he needs to spend one on attack. It might have been a calculated measure not to pass a token.

    • @Lunar_Sovereign
      @Lunar_Sovereign 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      he's talking about the time when he coordinated one which is counter to your argument. if he'd focused and passed one to porkins then porkins could have done a focus and had 2 tokens one to spend and one to cancel the ability and the u wing would have also had a focus instead of a stress. he just forgot man.

    • @akaBoG
      @akaBoG 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Can you still shoot the turret out the primary and the mobile arc or just the mobile

    • @teamcovenant
      @teamcovenant  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Great question, Sam! If you want to hit your opponents with an Ion Cannon, you will need to have them in whichever arc you have turned your mobile firing arc towards. We will also be covering turrets more fully in an upcoming video with co-designer Alex Davy!

  • @sweetchuck1258
    @sweetchuck1258 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    How do you know which upgrades you can equip to a ship? You have upgrades on your ships but there's nothing on the pilot cards that shows what upgrades they can take.

    • @teamcovenant
      @teamcovenant  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The upgrade slots and point costs for each ship are listed in the app/website when building a list. The reason for doing so is to allow upgrade slots and point costs to be updated in the future without reprinting cardboard / issuing errata.

  • @ejn415
    @ejn415 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Are the templates the same size as in 1.0? The line down the middle makes them look a bit wider.

    • @teamcovenant
      @teamcovenant  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      We will try and double-check this.

    • @ejn415
      @ejn415 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Team Covenant Thanks! It might just be a forced perspective kind of thing with the line being there, but I’d love to know if all of my acrylic templates are obsolete now.

    • @teamcovenant
      @teamcovenant  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      As far as anything is confirmed right now, it does appear that the templates are the same size! The only difference being the line down the center.

    • @Hal-ug2jr

  • @arnoldrew
    @arnoldrew 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    How exactly is barrel rolling different now? It was talked about in a roundabout way but not directly. Is it just from the center of the base and straight across? I thought that was the case but looked like he adjusted the Y-Wing on the far side of it's barrel roll before it got blown to smithereens.

    • @teamcovenant
      @teamcovenant  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      When doing the first part of the barrel roll, you must align the line on the side of the ship with the line down the middle of the template. When doing the second part, you have three choices - align the line on the side of the ship with the middle of the template, align the back of the ship with the back of the template, or align the front of the ship with the front of the template.
      Basically, it is a much more rigid structure for executing the maneuver - rather than being able to put the template anywhere within the boundaries of the ship's side.

      Isn't it great? If you ran 7 TIEs, you get to dish out around 140 bucks just to keep them flying (2 kits + the new starter set for the damage deck and templates)... but at least you have enough cards to run that 6 Decimators I'm sure you have in a single list... no... wait...
      Sorry, whoever designed the contents of those boxes is a complete bastard. Shrewd financial thinking, but deserving a kick in the gonads nonetheless.

    That Y-Wing barrel roll at 33 minutes ... I thought that the new barrel roll has to be aligned with the white stripe on ship and template? Was that a mistake?

    • @teamcovenant
      @teamcovenant  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      It looks to us like he corrected it and ended up going stripe to stripe, it is a rough camera angle to be that precise though. Either way, you are correct. The new barrel roll rule is center stripe to center stripe.

    • @VictorSteiner
      @VictorSteiner 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      After knowing a bit more now I think it was correct. The barrel roll HAS to be center stripe to center stripe when putting the tool next to the ship, but when placing the ship on the other side of the tool, you have more than 1 option. (stripe to stripe again, stripe to front of ship, stripe to back of ship if I got it right?)

  • @timothyho1490
    @timothyho1490 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Guys the conversion kits contain all upgrades, Pilots, new stuff for every faction. It's cheap because u don't have to buy expansions to get singular upgrade cards anymore. It's your opinion if it expensive, i think its reasonable for all you get for every faction.

    • @akaBoG
      @akaBoG 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I don't see $50 value in these kits. Just seems like they are trying to make players re-buy all of their old material to get some new art and cards that use different words. I am done.

  • @thomasorest512
    @thomasorest512 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Let me start by saying that i am super stoked for x-wing second Edition. It looks superb, the designers and everyone involved obviously did a fantastic job. The only thing I am slightly worried about is the s-foils - it kinda looks like you have to press really hard to make them change position on the renegade x-wing. On the classic x-wing on the other hand it seems like you need to only barely touch the wings to change them instantly (Alex even changes them by accident at one point). Do wave 14 x-wings have a different sculpt from the core Set x-wings maybe? Or are all those ships in the video prototypes anyways? But those are minor details of course, overall 2.0 is like all my dreams come true.

    • @teamcovenant
      @teamcovenant  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for commenting Thomas. With X2, select ships are getting new sculpts, In our blog there is a picture of the old and new Y-Wing sculpt side-by-side and it is much better looking! See the pic here: goo.gl/iwsXyg

  • @KMProtectionServices

    So, few mistakes? Extra 1 extra dice should be for defender at range 3 and another for shooting through obstruction. Then towards the end I notices initiative 3 ships moving before the rebel initiative 2, that can make a difference!!

  • @RTL2L
    @RTL2L 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have one question to all people complaining about the price to upgrade ALL ships: where is your loyalty? Why do you want to play EVERY faction? The setting of the game is so deep and rich with lore, it always was about choosing your side. Be a proud representative of your faction and stop being unprincipled consumer. Even FFG stimulates that in Second Edition by putting all the upgrades you need in your Faction ships. I always felt sorry for people who play Rebels this week and Imperials the next week - they are missing the whole point and an emotional experience.

      @mepp3814 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Well, we can always upgrade the movement tools with 3rd party acrylic but yeah, those damage decks really need to be found in those $50 boxes. Everyone having to buy a new core isn't okay.

    • @iStevie
      @iStevie 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Unfortunately, we won’t be getting a damage deck in the upgrade kits. V2 is basically a new game were we get to reuse our ships with the commodity of getting tons of cards for “mere” 50 dlls. That ain’t much considering that each new ship is between 20-30 dlls... I’m in a bit of pain too but I welcome the change.

    • @iStevie
