Has anyone on here played Attack Wing. I was wondering how its compares to X-wing considering they use the same basic mechanics. Is it the same game in a different skin or does the gameplay differ? Is it just dependent on what you ar more a fan boy off. I'm starwars all the way and the only real draw to Attack Wing is that it has many different factions compared to Empire/Rebels in X-wing. Do the factions play differently? As I already have X-wing would Attack Wing just be a waste of money or could there be room for both in a games collection.

I've been sitting on the fence about Attack Wing vs X-wing for ages. Having read plenty of reviews and now seen X-wing in play at the club I'm really looking forward to getting one of them soon (at salute? ).
I'm a big trekkie and would prefer to get Attack Wing, of course it would help to know that other people are interested in playing.
From what I've read and heard and seen on vids- attack wing is less of a 'x-wing reskin' with fewer ships and more of ship and crew combat game as opposed to a squad based dogfight, and it has a much greater narrative/scenario angle.
The models and card components get criticism for being less detailed or of a lower quality. Given that I'd happily repaint and sex up the ships.
Would be interested to hear of anyone's first hand experience with attack wing.

The bit thats interests me with Attack wing is the varied factions, I think they are planing about 8. Xwing is starting to go more senario/campaign based with the release of the large ships. Evacuation of HothThe other bonus with attack wing I can see is the availability of the models, some of the xwing ships can be hard to track down! The big downside with attack wing is that there doesnt seem to be an active player base around (thankfully as I think if I started another game my wife would take my bank cards off me)

Yep - I'm a big trekki but I watched a good comparison video of xwing & attack wing.
Although I like both universes the models were a draw to xwing for me and also sadly the size of the models and what they can do. I think the rules set are great but are much more in place with Xwing rather then Star Trek. But then next yet who knows what I'll be playing!
