Fantasy Flight Games has struck it big with the X-Wing Miniatures Game. It didn’t hurt that they were able to release a new starter set with the release of The Force Awakens. While they have had Organized Play events before, they certainly want to make this year memorable. They have just announced the X-Wing System Open.
The Fantasy Flight Games Organized Play department is proud to host this year the X-Wing™ System Open, an international series of X-Wing™ tournaments culminating in a n event at Star Wars™ Celebration 2016 in London. The champion of each separate System Open event will receive travel, hotel accommodations, and a three-day badge for Star Wars™ Celebration 2016. This is a unique event that offers X-Wing™ players in North America and Europe an unprecedented opportunity.
Tournaments will take place in France, Poland, England, Denmark, Italy, Germany, Spain, and the US. The first tournament will be the Hoth™Open at Adepticon in Schaumburg, IL, from March 31- April 2.

While not working as a Database Administrator, Keith Schleicher has been associated with Gaming Trend since 2003. While his love of video games started with the Telestar Alpha (a pong console with four different games), he trule started playing video games when he received the ill-fated TI-99/4A. While the Speech Synthesizer seemed to be the height of gaming, eventually a 286 AT computer running at 8/12 Hz and a CGA monitor would be his outlet for a while. Eventually he’d graduate to 386, 486, Pentium, and Athlon systems, building some of those systems while doing some hardware reviews and attending Comdex. With the release of the Dreamcast that started his conversion to the console world. Since then he has acquired an NES, SNES, PS2, PS3, PSP, GBA-SP, DS, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One S, Gamecube, Wii, Switch, and Oculus Quest 2. While not playing video games he enjoys bowling, reading, playing board games, listening to music, and watching movies and TV. He originally hails from Wisconsin but is now living in Michigan with his wife and sons.
