Episode 335 - X-wing is dead, long live X-wing!

We're back already! And today we're chatting about the news that although Atomic Mass Games may have given up developing the X-wing Miniatures Game... the community is not ready to give up on the game!

Earlier today there was an announcement by around 30 members of the community that are looking to take over the stewardship of X-wing. You can find this on our Facebook page and Discord, as well as on many others out there!

This group is trying to represent a wide cross section of the player base including some of the prominent content creators and membership from a large number of different countries and communities.

Tim, Liam and Ben are part of this group and although early days we chat a little about what's been going on (warning: this is few days old so it's very early on) and what the group might be doing in short and long term. We also chat over some of the FAQ's that have been produced regarding the project.

It should also be stated the Sith Takers do not decide what's going to happen and what we say is personal opinion, nothing has been decided bar the group needs to establish a structure and set some goals. What this group will actually do is very much TBD and if we say something you don't like don't panic... nothing is set in stone! And there will be discussions and votes to decide the best way forward for what we believe is the community at large.

Episode 334 - AMG admits defeat

In an Emergency recording Rich, Liam and Tim respond to Atomic Mass Games announcement that they have officially ended development of the Star Wars X-wing and Armada Miniature Games.

Was managing all the Star Wars games too much for the small studio? They claim external factors were the reasons it became too difficult? Find out the hot takes from the cast here and maybe we'll be back Monday with a more measured response... there may be one or two Babu Frik's used in today's episode! :D

Episode 333 - UK Games Expo 24

You wait for Organised Play and then two come along at once! This week we chat about the recent news from Atomic Mass Games about the Grand Tournament locations and the first two official GT's - Bilbao and the UK Games Expo!

Rich chats to Ben & Liam plus special guest Tom Candlin about how they got on at the UK Games Expo, how the event went and what we might do about the new menace that is double B-wings!

Someone else did quite well at the UK Games Expo, someone who may feature on the podcast every now and again, but he's dead to Rich so no need to acknowledge his performance right...! ;)
