Attack Wing Month 2 Wolf 359



Hello All,

This past Sunday I ran Month 2 of the 3 month Borg Event at Comics and Games Fairfax. The event went well. I had 6 players and everyone had a good time. Month three is just around the corner (September 14th) So if you are interested let me know!


Table 1 featured the Wife's New battle mat (You forget the moon is there after a while.)




Table 2 featured My new Battle Mat (Will work for X Wing as well)






Table 3 was made from 2 smaller boards I made the night before. (I did not know I was going to get that much table space)








To see what the mission was about click here.

As I said it was FUN!

Star Trek Attack Wing – The Collective Storyline Month two- Wolf 359 (Comics and Games Fairfax)



Star Trek Attack Wing – The Collective Storyline Month two- Wolf 359



 “A Borg Cube has entered into the Wolf 359 System on its way to Sector 001. You have gathered an allied fleet to battle the Borg and to stop their advance into the heart of Federation space. This will not be an easy task. The Borg are unlike any foes you’ve encountered before.

    Normally, the Borg would take the time to assimilate their prey, but with a fleet of ships bent on the Cube’s destruction, the Borg decide to simply destroy the ships at Wolf 359 and continue on to their primary target: Earth.

    Your fleet quickly learns that it is indeed a futile gesture to attack, as the Borg Cube is dispatching your starships with ease. Your weapons are just not strong enough to do any real damage to the Borg Cube. But as part of the allied fleet, it is your task to do all you can to stop the Borg’s relentless progress. Can you defeat a seemingly unbeatable foe? Will your fleet survive the massacre at Wolf 359?”

Attack Wing Event 7-27-2014 (A Little late)



Hello All,

The event was awesome! Eight people showed up  (Cap was ten so not too shabby for my first go.) There were some minor technical difficulties (I'm looking at you wizkids event site!)  but over all it went well.

The Next installment of the "Collective" is scheduled for August 17th so go and register!

My wife did OK coming in sixth of the eight but considering that she went into round three in last place that's pretty darn good!

Anyway here are some pictures from the event I hope they inspire people to come out and join us.













Well that's it for now. Comment if you have any questions.

Attack Wing event update







Special Note for Star Trek: Attack Wing Players and Participating Stores using the “The Collective” Tournament Bricks:
There has been some confusion regarding the following bullet point in the Tournament Instruction Sheets:
·  Players will receive 1 random Booster Pack and must add 30 SP from this Booster Pack (including the ship
and/or any Captain or Upgrade Cards) to their 90 SP Fleet Build bringing the Total Fleet Build to 120 SP.
Stores will determine requirements for participation in this month’s OP program. This may include purchase of
Attack Wing product or entry fees where local laws allow. Stores are encouraged to allow players to arrive 1
hour earlier to receive their random Booster Pack and revise their Fleet Builds

The intent of the suggested event directions is as follows:
·  each player arrives to the event with a pre-built 90 point fleet
·  each player receives one random The Collective Tournament Booster
·  each player uses the Ship, Captain and Upgrades from the Booster they received to make a single 30 point Ship using the content of the booster and adds it to their pre-built 90 point fleet (for a fleet total of up to 120 points) or can use 30 points from that booster and then reassign crew/upgrades from their pre-built 90 point fleet to the 30 point ship and vice versa (and even between ships within the 90 point fleet)— the exact format is at the store’s discretion.
·  For either option, players may not alter what constitutes the pre-built 90 point fleet after receiving their Booster
·  For the latter option, players may not alter what constitutes the pre-built 90 point fleet after receiving their Booster but can change where all the crew/equipment and upgrades are placed (i.e. swap captains, swap upgrades etc). 1 hour is likely too long to accomplish this and instead stores may wish to elect 15 minutes or whatever they deem appropriate.

The Collective Part 1 "First Contact"





 
While you are in a battle with your enemy, you suddenly find yourselves in a different sector of space. In front of you is a tremendous ship in the shape of a cube. Q, a member of the Q Continuum, has transported both of your fleets into Borg space to “give you a taste of your future, a preview of things to come.”
“The Borg are the ultimate user. They’re not interested in political conquest, wealth, or power as you know it. They’re simply interested in your ship and its technology. They’ve identified it as something they can consume.”
“The hall is rented; the orchestra engaged. It’s now time to see if you can dance…”
 
—Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 2: Episode 16 “Q Who”
 
 


Hello All,

Yours truly will be running the first of three exciting events for the up and coming game STAR TREK ATTACK WING! We will be playing at Comics and Games of Fairfax in Old Town Fairfax on Sunday July 27th starting at 1 PM (Sign up starts at noon.) I have looked over the scenario and it looks Bad A$$. First contact with the Borg based on the Next Generation Episode from second season (That's late 80's people) I never realized the Borg had been around so long.

Anyway- The price to get in is 20.00 and includes a Blind (Random) Ship that is used in the event and a new resource card and special die.

Space is limited to 10 players so stop by the store and ask to sign up or just let me know and I will add you to the list. Fees are paid on the day of the event.
