Product Description

The TIE fighter is a ubiquitous symbol of the Empire. These fighters are generally employed in massive numbers overwhelming even the best Rebel pilots. TIE fighters rely on speed and strength in numbers to overcome their enemies and while this fighter only features a pair of laser cannons and lacks shields of any kind its swiftness and dexterity make it a dangerous opponent in a dogfight. Add to your swarm of agile TIE fighters with this expansion which includes six pilots and send out the dangerous and crafty Imperial pilot ?Backstabber.? This expert pilot was one of Darth Vader?s wingmen in the Battle of Yavin. As his name implies he is particularly vicious when attacking an enemy from behind. Give your squadron an edge in any conflict with the TIE Fighter Expansion Pack.

Star Wars X-Wing: TIE Fighter Expansion Pack Review

The TIE Fighter expansion is another nice addition to a fun game. As noted in my other reviews from this line, you can play a few simple and worthwhile games with the core set, but if you want to get the most variety out of the game you'll need some expansions. Because two TIE Fighters also come in the core set (which is required to play), it is not 100% necessary to get this expansion set to get the most out of the game. But, there are a few additions, so I'd say it is probably worth getting one of this expansion set for most people (then, if you want more X-Wings or TIE Fighters I'd just buy extra starter sets to get more bang for your buck).

That said, the TIE Fighter expansion adds three unique pilots that are NOT included in the core set. Pilots include "Winged Gundark" (unique), "Backstabber," and "Howlrunner." This expansion also includes three generic pilots that come with the core set.

"Winged Gundark" is a level 5 pilot with the following special ability, "When attacking at Range 1, you may change 1 of your HIT results to a CRITICAL result."

"Backstabber" is a level 6 pilot with what seems to be one of the TIE Fighter Pilot's best special abilities. It reads, "When attacking from outside the defender's firing arc, roll 1 additional attack die."

"Howlrunner" is a level 8 pilot with the following special ability, "When another friendly ship at Range 1 is attacking with its primary weapon, it may reroll 1 attack die."

It also includes two upgrade cards (both of which are also included in or other expansions): Swarm Tactics (definitely worth having several of this one), and Determination.

The expansion also includes all tokens, dials, etc. that you need to use this ship in a game.

As noted in all of my reviews of FFG X-Wing products, all the ships look great, but some of them appear to be fragile. I've played about a dozen games and haven't had any problems with any ship breaking so far. I am not rough with the ships, but I am not overly careful with them either (except perhaps when storing them).
