Was it a long time ago in a galaxy far far away?

Damn, that sounds like fun.  I am in (just need to find a baby sitter now).

Too bad Imperial Aces will not be out by then.  >:(

Seriously?  I picked the last possible Saturday hoping that MAYBE the Christmas release would make it out in Q1 2014....  What a ridiculous hope.  /sigh

I have been holding out on buying Interceptors until IA came out.  Last time I was looking for release date info, I was pretty sure the the Fantasy Flight website said 1 May as the release date.  I just tried to hop on their website to see if I was remembering wrong, but their website is currently down.

So if the imperial aces won't be out until may, how long am I going to have to wait for the z-95 headhunter?

It looks like the Imperial Aces kit is not allowed in the tournament per the FF tournament rules as it hasn't been added yet to the approved kits list.

Just wanted to point that out as I had to go adjust my list for this coming weekend.

Definitely going to the championship, May not be able to stay for the trench run, i'll have to play it by ear. (though that seems silly, since playing this game is fiddly enough using hands)
