Lando’s Millennium Falcon Expansion Pack Coming To Star Wars: X-Wing 2.0
Fantasy Flight Games have announced a Lando’s Millennium Falcon Expansion Pack for X-Wing Second Edition! This pack is based on the look from the new movie, Solo: A Star Wars Story. This expansion pack will join the rest of Wave I for X-Wing Second Edition, releasing on September 13th, 2018 and is priced at $39.99.
Here is a look at expansion set:
Within the Lando’s Millennium Falcon Expansion Pack, you’ll find everything you need to add a customized YT-1300 Light Freighter to your squadron, including a beautifully painted ship miniature and an assortment of eight ship cards that reflect the Scum faction’s penchant for risk-taking. But these risks aren’t totally reckless. Any gambler knows the best time to place a bet is when the odds are in your favor, and few are better gamblers than Lando Calrissian. If he’s is at the controls of the Falcon and not stressed, he can gain a stress token to reroll all of his blank results, giving him a much better chance of enhancing an attack or dodging some incoming fire.
Beyond its pilots, Lando’s Millennium Falcon has a few interesting built-in features. Although it was originally built as a freighter, it still makes an intimidating opponent in the middle of a space battle thanks to its double turret arc that functions as a primary weapon. This arc covers much of the space surrounding the ship, making it difficult for an enemy ship to approach without the threat of return fire.
These turrets need operators, of course, and you can enhance their effectiveness by adding a gunner from among the thirteen upgrade cards found in this expansion. In addition to being an ace pilot, Han Solo is just as good in the gunner seat, granting you the ability to perform a red focus action before engaging with enemy ships. In effect, this gives you the chance to both rotate your turret into position and focus in a single round, providing ample opportunity to line up your shot and give it a good chance of hitting.
A large ship like the Millennium Falcon can be greatly enhanced by good crew and you’ll find plenty of opportunities to add one among this expansion’s upgrade cards. Scum are known for their unpredictability and Tobias Beckett is sure to enhance this reputation with his ability to dramatically alter the playing field during setup.
Even more unpredictable is the Falcon itself. Han Solo may have put his own mark on the ship, but Lando Calrissian also gave it a few tricks of his own that you also include. With a Rigged Cargo Chute, for example, you can dump a fresh obstacle into the middle of the battlefield and—if you’re lucky—into the path of enemy ships. What’s more, Lando always had an exit strategy, and this version of the Millennium Falcon also includes the escape craft featured in the film. This craft docks snugly in the larger miniature, even as it makes Lando’s Millennium Falcon more versatile with the ability to launch this escape craft, which can operate independently from the larger ship.
Will you be adding this ship to your roster?
