Stay On Target | An X-wing Podcast

The new Q1 2018 X-wing kit is being described as a "Stay on Target" tournament. Clearly inspired by our podcast, of course. After all, it's not like the phrase "Stay on Target" is used elsewhere. You're welcome, FFG. Michigan Regional semi-finalist Tommy Adams joins Gordon, Mikhail, and Franch to discuss his four-ship rebel list. 03:30 - WAR STORIES | 01:01:40 - FLIGHT PREP | 01:20:00 - STOLEN PLANS

Dreams do come true! Who cares if it took a different Gordon than the show's host to climb the mountain top? Suffer with Mikhail and Franch in their dismay, having to listen to Gordon and guest sycophant Camden go on and on about the achievement of his namesake - Gordon Pinkerton - who won the Portland System Open. Oh yeah, and obligatory meta talk -- in all its Fenn/Ghost glory. 05:30 - WAR STORIES | 39:00 - FLIGHT PREP | 01:00:00 - STOLEN PLANS

Gordon and Mikhail think they have the show all to themselves, but Franch crashes the party. Then DHaus of all people shows up to brag about being in another Organized Play promo pic. There's also talk about the Indy Regional.

It was almost a perfect weekend: X-wing streams everywhere and the Steelers (Big Ben, Brown, and Bell) advancing to the AFC Championship. Ugh, the Steelers! Fine, at least Jeff Berling joins us for some meta-analysis. Nevermind, he's not available. Okay, well, congrats to the Birmingham Barons podcast member Joel Killingsworth for going 15-0 across two events at PAX South? 3:40 - OPENING AND STEELERS RANT | 10:00 - WAR STORIES | 21:10 - FLIGHT PREP | 1:19:30 - STOLEN PLANS | 1:27:30 - CLOSING

I think we're a collective 0-4 against Duncan. This now forces us to prevent him from attending all future tournaments, it's our only remaining option. Or maybe we play better...not sure about that one. In addition to discussing the emerging meta, we speculate about the TIE Silencer, which got its own article right *after* we recorded. Figures! 2:00 - IN THE HANGAR | 21:45 - WAR STORIES | 53:15 - OUTRYDER CUT VII

Literally. Deroche, Franch and Mikhail eat cookies while recording, all very professional. And they discuss the recent FAQ - in between bites.

Gordon, Mikhail, Franch, and party crasher Jon Bruns (from Hornet Squadron Radio) discuss all manner of X-Wing topics: Recent tournaments and alternate formats, listener feedback, FFG's silence, and speculate about a possible System Open event at PAX East (which ends up no longer being speculation an hour after they record....figures). 8:30 - WAR STORIES | 43:30 - STOLEN PLANS | 1:41:00 - FLIGHT PREP | 1:44:30 - CLOSING

Gordon, Mikhail, and Franch are joined by special guest Mark Moriarty to discuss Mark's amazing alt-art cards, Gen-Con, and the local game stores in which they play. Also highlighted are the upcoming Bluegrass Open and Crossroads Classic tournaments. 12:30 - WAR STORIES | 30:30 - STOLEN PLANS | 52:30 - STOLEN PLANS II | 1:07:00 - WAVE 12 | 1:24:00 - ASSORTED TOPICS

The Stay On Target crew is back after a slew of Store Championships post-Wave 11. Find out how they did and what their thoughts are on the FAQ 'leak' (not much given how it's been beaten to death already). Gordon tries to find out if Wave 11's impact on the game is either bad, good or just different. 2:22 - WAR STORIES | 27:30 - STOLEN PLANS | 1:02:00 - WAVE 11

In an attempt to bring about the end of the world, the Stay On Target crew record episodes in back-to-back weeks! Franch, Gordon, and Mikhail speak with special guest Phil Horny about his current thoughts on the Imperial faction, and how it might fare in the soon-to-be-released Wave 11 meta. 2:40 - WAR STORIES | 12:40 - STOLEN PLANS | 50:50 - WAVE 11

Franch, Gordon, and Mikhail are joined by guest Camden Alcorn to discuss the new player experience in X-Wing, advice for newcomers to improve, and how the veterans in the community can lend a hand. 5:00 - WAR STORIES | 26:00 - FLIGHT ACADEMY | 01:25:00 - CLOSING

After a two-month hiatus, Gordon, Franch and Mikhail catch up on Worlds, Store Championships, possible nerfs, and the various preview articles about Wave 11 and the Guns for Hire expansion.

Join DHaus, Franch, Gordon, and Mikhail for another jam-packed episode right before Worlds! We cover the Hoth Open, Stele Open, Campaign Against Cancer, and Worlds prep.

Join DHaus, Gordon, and Franch for a doozy of an episode featuring the new lists we're flying, the FAQ madness and its potential effect on the meta game, predictions for the last System Opens, and much more. 5:00 - WAR STORIES | 21:00 - TRENCH RUN | 58:00 - STOLEN PLANS | 1:12:00 - CLOSING

Our very own Franch took down the Ohio Regional and he's here to tell us about it. We also brought in Eric Berling to talk Wave 10 and its potential impact on the meta. 0:00 - INTRO | 2:00 - OHIO REGIONAL | 32:00 - WAVE 10

We're baaaaaack! After far too long, Gordon, DHaus, Franch have returned with guest Mikhail to talk about their 2nd place finish at the Outryder Cup and reflect on the current regional season. 3:00 - OUTRYDER CUP RECAP | 32:00 - REGIONALS REFLECTIONS | 50:00 - CLOSING
