Stay On Target | An X-Wing Podcast Franch, Gordon and Mikhail

Gordon summarizes his experiences at Adepticon and reveals a conclusion he's now formed. Franch has finally played some 2.5 games in real life...with real people! Mikhail is moving. Again. Stay On Target After Dark offers up some truly bad Dad jokes.

Talk about a great disturbance in the Force! X-Wing 2.5 is finally here and we have thoughts about the two biggest reveals: New list building rules, and five new scenarios that introduce another way to score points.

AMG drops a bombshell of a new rule where even SOT can't just sit idly by without recording an episode. Will this be the final form of Random Player Order? Or will a very vocal minority influence AMG via social media to make a change? Disclaimer: Franch and Mikhail sound great on their new mics while Gordon had the wrong settings and clips like crazy with too hot of a mic. Try to ignore him if you can...

Gordon just wanted to test a Zoom remote session to see what it was like -- because not getting together in person is new for us -- when Mikhail suddenly says "Just hit the record button...go!" The discussion is what you'd expect: A little points update reactions here, a little AMG major game change reactions there. Steelers talk at about the 1:27:00 mark if you're a masochist.

You might not know this, but it's been just over a year since we last recorded. Lies you say? It's true...all of it (insert Han Solo meme here). Gordon finally felt safe enough to come out of his Covid cave, Mikhail's grown a beard to look more like Gordon, Camden got tired of not podcasting so he started his own show, and Franch welcomed baby Magnolia to his family! Proud Papa indeed!!
The gang recaps the past year's worth of X-Wing happenings and whines about the lack of a promised points update.

Fine, he probably doesn't, but we thought we saw him licking his iPad and iPads are made in China, so our logic is infallible. Topics mostly revolved around recent Store Championships and the current Hyperspace meta, and some discussion about new players getting involved in their first competitive games. And some brief Steelers talk.
