X-wing Miniatures Game

Hmmm, would have preferred a flight sim on the PC; it'd be glorious seeing what they could do now with Xwing running DX11.... Why lucasarts, why?

Anyway, there's a X-wing BOARDGAME that was released sometime last year? The gist of it goes something like this from the website :

"Fast and visceral, X-Wing puts you in the middle of fierce Star Wars firefights. Use each craft’s unique maneuver dial to secretly plot its movement action for each turn. After each player has locked in his movement decisions, the dials are revealed and ships are moved starting with the lowest skilled pilots. Pepper the enemy with blaster fire as you rush into the dogfight, or move into combat range slowly, attaining deadly target locks before you launch a devastating attack"

Looks interesting... like a joystickless version of the game before the PC version is (eventually.. someday) released. Let your imagination run wild!

I wonder if they'll have a Star Destroyer expansion? Interesting review here!
