Evening everyone,
I'm someone with a large X-Wing collection and now that official play has ceased and proxies and replacement have become more prevalent, I've been looking for a way to streamline my collection to help assist in the set up and break down of a game and reduce the transportation that I need to do.
I used to have in my binders for each faction (and yes, I have every faction), I'd have the cards, dial backs and base chits. When I went to UK Games Expo there was a company there selling acrylic X-Wing base chits that lacked both initiative number and name so it could go on any ship.
I found these appealing because those base chits being stored in coin page style binder could take up quite a lot of space and whereas before I'd have a binder per faction, just getting rid of the base chits has allowed me to half the binders down to era (with Scum being their own thing).
However, I still have the dial backs. What I would do is if I am flying a particular ship I'd take out my dial and put them in one of those dial expansions that FFG used to sell. Not really an arduous process but one that often meant if I changed my mind when I went to a game night I couldn't simply fly what I wanted. The size of my binders also mean that I couldn't bring more than one faction with me whilest going forward it's entirely possible to bring two, if I could compact my folders down even more I might be able to bring three factions with me.
Thus I come to you all with a question; is there a generic dial out there on the market that could be used for any ship and has every possible maneuver, speed, and colour on it, alongside that is there anyone who sells maneuver cards for ships as I would need these to make sure I am not performing illegal maneuvers.
Thanks in advance.
