Thanks a lot indeed!
Interesting oint of view. Actually they say the opposite: that they screwed up X-Wing with the very first edition, and that you can get the 2nd (or a few 49$ conversion...

A relative of mine was the standard bearer for Garibaldi at the Calatafimi battle. He did not survive, alas. Anyway the very largest part of the one thousand red shirts (actually 1088 men and at...
