THE DICE SALOON IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE OUR NEXT X-WING OP EVENT!
Tickets are available at https://www.dicesaloon.com/events/star-wars-x-wing-40th-anniversary-event
CAN YOU PREVENT THE DESTRUCTION OF ALDERAAN?
The imperials are massing near the planet but history this time around is different, a rebel fleet has emerged to stop the Death Star before it opens fire.
Can you win this themed X-Wing event for the rebels?
Or will you support the Imperial cause and make sure Alderaan remains an asteroid belt.
Or fly a scum list and you will decide the fate of the planet at the end... it will be your choice!
FORMAT
The Death Star is fully operational and intelligence reports say it has calibrated its main weapon to fire a shorter pulse at a faster rate to ensure complete destruction to incoming rebel ships, however the accuracy at this frequency is not great and Imperial ships are at risk....
Your games may be affected by the Death Star throughout your day.
