What Is Assault at Imdaar Alpha?
FFG’s Assault at Imdaar Alpha is a global preview event, showcasing the fourth wave of X-Wing starfighters at exclusive pre-release tournaments taking place the weekend of May 30th – June 1st.
How Does It Work?
Players bring 100-point squadrons and compete through a number of Swiss-style preliminary rounds while following all the standard rules described in the X-Wing Tournament Rules document (above).
However, in the final round, everything changes! After the close of the preliminary rounds, the tournament’s two top players set aside their personal squads and command new squads that they build with the starfighters included in the event kit.
One player will construct an Imperial squad that fields both the TIE defender and TIE phantom. The other will construct a Rebel squad that utilizes the Z-95 Headhunter as well as the E-wing. Both players will complete their 100-point squadrons by adding starships and upgrades from their existing X-Wing collections. Then, each of the tournament’s top four participants get to claim one of the preview expansions!
