Explore every episode of the podcast The Salt Mines: Yet Another X-Wing Podcast

This might be content, idk LVO is this weekend, remember to make your name be a meme in BCP

stuff and things

Less changes this time than in January but there's still a lot of new stuff for us to consider

guests RStan, Biophysical, and Mitchell Hurst talk about decision making and other meaningful content.

A couple Vassal games, some discussion of FO stuff, just more of our typical nontent really

We might talk about these spoilers. Or just not, because every other podcast on the planet is doing that as we speak.

This episode is really short. If you can't listen to it, shame (*ding*). U-Wings are cool.

We play a new game! Random... or Reddit??? The rules are simple. Find a list. Read it to people. They have to guess... was it a random list generated by YASB 2.0's "random" feature, or was it something someone made and posted online? Also. Several cool tournaments coming up. Listen for more info. No matter where you live, you can be in the Salt Mines Classic, hosted using Discord and Fly Casual X-Wing Simulator! Contact us to get the invite to the Discord. We'll be starting next week. There's also plenty of content sprinkled in here, about A-Wings and initiative. And the canon, old and new. And of course, we found some X-Wing internet salt to discuss, tune in to hear more!

The first half of the episode is missing Luke's audio but there's still content in here so we'll post it anyway. :shrug:

We are salty about OP formats. Very salty. The forums are all wrong, fite me bro. Also, content. We talked about second-edition format listbuilding and U-Wings and how cool they are. Finally, the Salt Mines classic is coming up. It's being held using Discord and Fly Casual, join the server here: https://discord.gg/2AMX935 We also have a Facebook group now, if you care. https://www.facebook.com/groups/668604686857242/

We are joined by guests Sam and Hasan and continue our discussions from last episode!

Now starting season 2 of the Salt Mines Podcast! Regular hosts! A patreon account! A Discord! A dumpster fire that ruined X-Wing! Listen for more... That's like the first five minutes. Then we get into list archetypes, tournament structure, and fun alternate formats. This episode has been archived. Find it here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1NgKVbRmsyIk0qmqfT2umdlVYiNi7zzFP

Sort of random talking about stuff. Can't wait until two weeks from now when we can actually play X-Wing. This episode has been moved to our archive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_7icvAxZXImypsWyF_TVqf9m65w7wA8G/view?usp=sharing

We talk about a lot of rebel listbuilding ideas. So if you loved Fairship Rebels, 100 point Miranda, and fat Dash and now you're lost, this is probably a good one to listen to.

We talk about some fun builds we're looking forward to in second edition. Mostly Imperial stuff this week. A very content-rich episode. That is, until the Carolina Krayts crash it at the end.

Points costs are here! That's... really about it. Just give it a listen if you are, like the rest of the X-Wing world, completely lost looking at FFG's points PDF. Information guaranteed to be useful until FFG radically changes all of these costs in like... a month. This episode has been moved to our archive.
