One of my favorite Nintendo games was X-Wing : Rogue Squadron

How cool would it be to play some of those missions out with x-Wing Table top?

Any one have any ideas?

Ive got plenty of my old Epic 40K buildings left over and i think they would make great obstacles.

Maybe play with two stand heights?

One stand is "Building level" Two stands is "Above Building"...
There could be a "No shoot at different stand height" rule to represent the line of sight issues...?

I still have a weeping cricket load of the Monsterpocalypse buildings. They would be roughly in the right size. I'll have to try out the ida as well! Great thinking!

Hey Kai --

Have you given the rules a run yet?

Our group did and we decided that the different heights idea would be too cumbersome so we just treated the buildings as big odd shaped asteroids.
We also gave every ship a free barrel roll at the start of its movement to avoid any nasty building smashes, but you could not perform another action that turn.
It was fun, the Falcon would up dominating the game and smoked a Tie bomber for the win.

Dude, sorry to not have posted. The mosterpocalypse stuff was the wrong size, but the Robotec terrain was pretty spot on. i think it's 1/272 vs 1/270 or reverse...something like that. But all of that terrain is flat topped. We played at 3 height levels, and you had to draw line of sight to shoot. IT WAS GREAT! We played it that if you were at the same level as a building and you hit it...explodey bits. Made for a real pain to catch the a wings and interceptors and strangely the b wings. but it worked out really well, great idea man!

Thats sweet Kai!

My buddies and I played another game last week using the Lambda class shuttle. It was an extraction just like out of one of the Rogue Squadron missions. The Rebels had 2 A-wings and 3 X-wings..all basic pilots and the Lambda shuttle. The Imperials had 3 waves of 2 ties and an interceptor. The game was alot of fun, because the ties just kept circling the Lambda and blowing the less manuverable x-wings right out of the sky. The Rebels won in the end though, as they were able to get the transport off the table between one wave of ties..

Landing Extraction: One large based model has to land (Agility 0 while on the ground) for 2 turns (turn to land, next turn still on ground, turn to take off) To load a dignitary onto the "transport." Using the Buildings as cover the attacking side would have to "trench run" to get a line on the ship (-1 Aglity). While above Building height, the defenders can take a special EVADE action to add an evade token to the "transport." Defender wins if the Dignitary makes it off of the board, Attacker wins if they KO the Dignitaries "transport" while the dignitary is on board. What do you think?

Sounds like fun Kai -
We will give it a run friday night probly..
