Star Wars X-Wing: Y-Wing Expansion Pack

This is another very nice addition to a fun game. As noted in my other reviews for this line, you can play a few simple and worthwhile games with the core set, but if you want to get the most variety out of the game you'll need a few expansions (maybe more if you really like the game). I highly recommend this Y-Wing expansion for reasons outlined below.

The Y-Wing expansion adds a ship and four pilots that are NOT included in the core set. Pilots include "Dutch" Vander (unique), Horton Salm (unique), Gold Squadron Pilot (generic), Gray Squadron Pilot (generic).

"Dutch" Vander is a level 6 pilot with a very nice special ability, "After acquiring a target lock, choose another friendly ship at Range 1-2. The choose ship may immediately acquire a target lock."

Horton Salm is a a level 8 pilot with one a particularly great offensive ability, "When attacking at Range 2-3, you may reroll any of your blank results."

It also includes several upgrade cards (most of which are unique to this expansion), including two astromech droids (R5 Astromech, and R5-D8), plus Photon Torpedoes and Ion Cannon Turret.

The Ion Cannon is a fun upgrade and the main reason to add a Y-Wing to your squad, but unfortunately the Y-Wing isn't really worth taking unless you also pay extra points for this upgrade (often usually worth it, though, especially since this adds a lot of variety to the game).

The expansion also includes all tokens, dials, etc. that you need to use this ship in a game.

All the ships look amazing, and while some are more fragile than others none of mine have broken after a dozen or so games. I am not rough with the ships, but I am not overly careful with them either (except perhaps when storing them).

Until the Wave 2 expansion comes out, you need at least one of these for some variety.Right now, I don't think I'd ever use more than that in a 100pt game since they are offensively weak(for the pts) and slow as dirt.They use up a lot of points and aren't that great.However, they can shoot 2 missiles, and with Wave 2 I believe some new missile types are coming out, so these guys might be able to take down a couple ships with the better misiles.Also, the Y-wing pilots have some good abilities.Once Wave 2 comes out these guys might actually get more play time from me, as loading them up with missiles might be a good strategy.

I am impressed with this Minature. It proves to be a tank in the game. I would recommend everyone get this minature if you play this game or are interested in playing this game. A must have for Rebel players.

The one I received had a decent paint job. The pegs, plate, and ship all fit and are snug. No wobbliness whatsoever.

Fun game and nice to have the variety of the different ships.I find this game deep enough for adults but also intuitive enough to allow younger players to learn it.The Y is a little slow and not that heavy hitting but it is iconic and am glad to have it around.
