It’s an old fighter but it’s a stalwart of the Rebellion and has a valuable place in your squadron. When X-Wing Second Edition launches on September 13th of this year the BTL-A4 Y-Wing Expansion Pack will be right there with it. This expansion contains a resculpted Y-wing miniature, maneuver dial, cards and tokens.
“Red Leader, this is Gold Leader. We’re starting our attack run.”
–Gold Leader, Star Wars: A New Hope
With the vast resources at its disposal, the Galactic Empire can afford to field starfighters that fill very specific roles. The TIE/ln fighter overwhelms enemy squadrons with superior numbers and maneuverability while the TIE bomber wreaks havoc across the battlefield with its heavy payload of bombs, torpedoes, and missiles. The Rebel Alliance, on the other hand, has no such luxury. They must rely on older, more versatile starfighters that can play many roles within a squadron while facing the seemingly infinite variations of the Imperial TIE fighter.
This is certainly the case with the BTL-A4 Y-wing. Long after falling out of favor with the Empire, the Y-wing would be pressed back into the service of the Rebellion, its resilient frame and flexible payload helping it become a reliable workhorse within Rebel squadrons. This formidable starfighter can be a part of your Rebel squadrons from the moment X-Wing™ Second Edition launches on September 13, 2018, with the BTL-A4 Y-Wing Expansion Pack. This expansion contains a fully-assembled, beautifully painted, and newly resculpted Y-wing miniature, along with a maneuver dial and all the cards and tokens that you need to add a Y-wing to your squadron.
If you already own a Y-wing from the first edition, you can bring it into X-Wing Second Edition with the ship tokens, cards, and maneuver dials found in the Rebel Alliance Conversion Kit that will be available at launch. This kit includes all of the ship and upgrade cards available in the BTL-A4 Y-Wing Expansion Pack. Those looking to expand their ship collections, however, can grab the BTL-A4 Y-Wing Expansion Pack and the six other ship expansions launching alongside the X-Wing Second Edition Core Set!
