This is a REGIONAL ROUNDUP episode where the Mynocks go over all of the regionals between 12/6 and 12/17.  They talk about lists that are both mind boggling (thanks Poland) and...maybe wholesome?

We proudly present to the X-wing community a new alternative format for the game we all love: X-wing Objectives In 2012 Fantasy Flight Games created the Star Wars X-Wing Miniatures Game. Its strong and unique mechanics coupled with the power of childhood nostalgia has made it one the most popular miniatures game in the world.  However, after 5 years and over 12 Waves worth of ships, the “Standard” competitive format has begun to show some weaknesses.  The primary win condition for years was to destroy all of your opponent’s ships, but now with so many cards and combinations available there are more win conditions that make the game less enjoyable.  These include having a single, expensive, and unkillable ship win when time is up or staying in your corner the entire game and winning on a Final Salvo tie breaker.    The X-Wing Objective Format was created by a large number of members from the X-Wing Community in a massive collaborative effort.  Months of testing went into creating six objectives that have alter

Today we bring on "Tarkin" Tim "Ranker of Men" Hilton to discuss the Top 50 invitational happening in January. Dee gets Top 4 at a regional! Also, the Mynocks try to decide if the Silencer is overhyped, overpriced, or the next big meta staple.  Ryan also has some kind of ridiculous beef with French Canadians for whatever reason (not really).
