This escalation league is designed as a introduction to the X-Wing Miniatures game for new or returning players to build up a new squad, develop a better grasp of the rules, and overall enjoy a fun event for X-Wing. The league will be played on an eight-week schedule, with rounds lasting two weeks.

The league will run from 60 points to 150 points. Each player may choose to field a Rebel, Imperial, or Scum & Villainy squad. You may not have more than eight small ships of the same ship type (TIE fighter, A-Wing, etc.) in any squad. You may not have more than four large ships of the same ship type in any squad. 

During each round, each squad must contain all ships and upgrade cards from the previous squad. Ships from the previous round must keep all equipped upgrade cards, and these cards may not be “transferred” to a different ship. However, new upgrade cards may be added to ships from the previous squad.

Entry fee is $15 and sign-ups are open until the start of the league. All league participants will receive 10% off X-Wing products for the duration of the league.
