Episode 368 - Wisdom of the Ancients

We got a little bit swamped with X-wing content with all the new releases coming out of the X-wing Alliance we completely missed a fantastic article friend of the show (and occasional target of our jokes) Steve Boulton wrote!

Steve got several regular 'top' tournament players together and asked them a serious of questions to determine what makes a good player top tier.  We were really impressed with the article and wanted to chat about. Thanks to Steven and Dylan for bringing it together.

We round out the show with chat about the new releases and what we've been using.

Sith Takers Snap Shots is a podcast dedicated to the X-Wing Miniatures Game created by Fantasy Flight Games run by the Sith Takers based in Stockport, North West UK. The goal of the podcast is to release three podcasts a week of a short duration (approx 10-15 mins) discussing a single topic in detail with different members of the Sith Takers team.

We will discuss news on upcoming releases and their impact on the game, our experiences attending and preparing for tournaments around the world, list creation and tweaking, meta breakdowns, and much more.
