Our monthly trophy tally has come to an end and the new month begins today! Through the luck of the dice or sheer number of kills we have a winner for April!

Congratulations to Shottas for scoring the most trophies (11)

Shottas walks away not only a Champion of the Month, the Player of the Week, but also the proud owner of one of my games from my prize collection.

He opted for Blade Symphony, but there are plently more games for you guys to earn!

I'll be wiping the trophy scores and starting a new.

Remember to follow this thread to keep up to date with the leaderboard.

Game Mechanics

• The game plays out in a series of 1v1s.
  
• Each planet has 2 control points, each victory is one control point.
  
• Teams must have a control point on the planet in order to use the ships from that planet.
  
• Teams most have two direct lines to the enemy's capital in order to attack it.
  
• First team to take the other capital wins!

The Scum
Like I said before, as soon as the campaign starts the teams are locked. But any other play may still participate if they choose, by fighting not for the Alliance or the Emporium but for the Scum!

Scum may choose to attack and control the 3 non capital planets. (Hoth, Tatooine, and Bespin)
When attacking, Scum may choose which faction to attack if the planet is currently controlled by both factions. A Scum victory means the loss of 1 control point.


Window of Opportunity
The game plays out in a series of challenges. The attacker chooses to attack a planet, then any defender may choose to defend it. However if an attack goes undefended for an hour, the attacker takes control of one control point on the planet.

Match Details

• Teams consist of 100 point squads for the 3 inner planets (Tatooine, Bespin, and Hoth)
  
• Attacking and Defending the capitol will consist of a 200 point match consisting of up to 2 players per Team.
  
• 100 point matches will be 60 minutes long.
  
• 200 point matches will be 90 minutes long.

Scheduling
The campaign will start on Saturday at 3 PM EST. At 4 PM EST the teams will be locked. And at 8 PM EST, no more challenges will be issued.

Thoughts
I was thinking that this would be a good starting point, but I would like to open it up to a much bigger game, with upgrades and victory points and experience. I'm going to put this up on Discussion for everyone to chip in!

We've grown a lot in the past month! I wanna say thanks to everyone involved in helping the group grow and in helping the game with content. Gremlyn has spearheaded pretty much everything so props to him! Be sure to say thanks to Gambler, Nim the Netrunner, and Col. Jack O'Neill for all the awesome content they have put out for us. Loads of hours have been put into making this game playable! We hit 1 month old on Thursday april 30th.

Many of you have played games with me and have experienced my "house rule", which is Kill Trophies! When scoring a kill the attacker rolls a single red die, on a hit ( not a crit) the attacker gets to keep the destoryed model!

Take a screenshot of who you played and the Trophies that each player had and send it to me! (or tag me in it or whatever) The player with the most trophies at the end of each month will get a Key or something.

The matches have to be between players in the Xwing Group, so be sure to get them to join up!

Hey guys!

If you want to play any time or have any questions about playing, feel free to add me! I'm not an expert when it comes to X-wing meta, but I would love to help out when I can.
