Stuff about the (discontinued) X-Wing Miniatures Game. Not official in any way or something (duh). I just got into the hobby (when the whole thing was dropped by AMG), so here we go.

So, there's a page with lots of links for various X-Wing TMG resources... But it's hosted on the FFG forums and with the game being discontinued and having been transferred from FFG to AMG literal years ago, I thought I'd just copy them here. This is, for now, just the copy-pasted link collection. I'll go through them to remove stuff that's no longer online and maybe add stuff I found elsewhere, but right now I'd just like to keep MidWestScrub's links alive in case FFG decides to finally pull the plug on the forum.
This is meant to be an addition to the excellent post @MajorJuggler has kept updated over the years. For that 1.0 thread, click here.
