Episode 345 - Remember me?
Out of the blue Atomic Mass Games drops not only a Standard Points update which will be legal for forthcoming Grand Tournaments but also a Print & Play pdf with existing cards and new Standard Loadouts for the TIE/PH Phantom and the Alpha-class Starwing!
We chat about the impact (hopefully positive) these updates will have for the remaining GTs and review the new standard loadout options.

Episode 344 - XWA Gon' Give It To Ya
They're here! The X-wing Alliance have released their first ever points update! It's a Beta set of points and they want us (all of us) to go out and play X-wing and see what works and doesn't!
The cast go through some of the changes and discuss some of the design choices the XWA Points team have made. Thanks to all involved in getting these to us as they've done a lot of work in around 2 months, and this is only the start!
They won't be perfect, but it'll certainly shake up the meta!

Whilst we await the future of the game at large we chat about some of the events or alternate formats that are around or that we've been playing in. This includes the NCX Draft League run by Greg at Nickel City X-wing, Nick's own points adjustments found at 312 Squadron and we're playing in a 12 week online event run by Conor at Tauntaun squadron where each week we have a unique game rule that could affect what we choose to fly!
Looking at ways to keeping the game fresh!

Episode 335 - X-wing is dead, long live X-wing!
We're back already! And today we're chatting about the news that although Atomic Mass Games may have given up developing the X-wing Miniatures Game... the community is not ready to give up on the game!
Earlier today there was an announcement by around 30 members of the community that are looking to take over the stewardship of X-wing. You can find this on our Facebook page and Discord, as well as on many others out there!
This group is trying to represent a wide cross section of the player base including some of the prominent content creators and membership from a large number of different countries and communities.
Tim, Liam and Ben are part of this group and although early days we chat a little about what's been going on (warning: this is few days old so it's very early on) and what the group might be doing in short and long term. We also chat over some of the FAQ's that have been produced regarding the project.
It should also be stated the Sith Takers do not decide what's going to happen and what we say is personal opinion, nothing has been decided bar the group needs to establish a structure and set some goals. What this group will actually do is very much TBD and if we say something you don't like don't panic... nothing is set in stone! And there will be discussions and votes to decide the best way forward for what we believe is the community at large.

Episode 334 - AMG admits defeat
