Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce three Maneuver Dial Upgrade Kits for X-Wing™!

In every game of X-Wing, you and your opponent secretly plot your ships’ movements using cardboard maneuver dials and maneuver templates. Now, you can command your starfighters with greater aplomb and further customize the aesthetics of your squadron by situating each ship’s maneuver dial within a secure and stylish plastic housing!

Whether you fight for the Imperial Navy, the Rebel Alliance, or the Scum and Villainy of the galaxy, three distinct Maneuver Dial Upgrade Kits allow you to proudly display the colors and symbols of your chosen faction. What’s more, these upgraded plastic maneuver dials are fully legal for any X-Wing tournament, allowing you to show your style as you compete for the fate of the galaxy!

Each Maneuver Dial Upgrade Kit provides three sculpted plastic dials that proudly display the affiliation of your current squadron with one of the three X-Wing factions. To use one of these plastic maneuver dials, simply take the cardboard dial token showing a ship’s maneuvers and insert it into the secure plastic housing. Once situated, you can place the plastic maneuver selection marker into place, and you’re ready to fly your ship with style.

In addition, these plastic maneuver dials provide an easy way for you to differentiate between your dials at a glance. Each maneuver dial includes a space on the back for you to insert a dial ID token that displays a silhouette of the corresponding ship. A pack of maneuver dials includes three dial ID tokens for every ship from the T-65 X-wing and TIE Fighter in the original X-Wing Core Set, up to the T-70 X-wing and TIE/fo fighter from Star Wars: The Force Awakens™ Core Set!

Soon, every X-Wing expansion will include a dial ID token for you to use with your plastic maneuver dials if you so choose. These will begin with the Ghost Expansion Pack, the Mist Hunter Expansion Pack, the Punishing One Expansion Pack, and the Inquisitor’s TIE Expansion Pack. Standard cardboard maneuver dials will still be included in each expansion.  

Rebel Maneuver Dial Upgrade Kit $9.95

Imperial Maneuver Dial Upgrade Kit $9.95

Scum Maneuver Dial Upgrade Kit $9.95

These are a great idea. Not only can you see all the mavnuevers on your dial at once, they also have the ship icon visable when flipped over. They remind me of the “order cups” from Star Wars Armada, only much fancier. Most 100 point X-Wing games use anywhere from 2-6 ships so picking up a pack or two of these seems pretty reasonable. I’m looking forward to checking them out!

These are TOTALLY the dial’s you’re looking for!
