“The alternate paint jobs add differentiation to your ships. The pilot cards are different than those in the Interceptor Expansion set. The upgrade cards are very handy on any imperial ship. This set is the same great value that the smaller X-Wing expansions are..just two bundled together. In fact, you may need to get two of this box because of the massive amount of necessary upgrade cards for your squadron.”

“Not only do you get two interceptors, they are also specially painted. The Royal Guard title card is worth it in itself. Being able to add multiple modifications to a single ship is easily one of the best bonuses. I love running swarms of interceptors. With the 3 attack and 3 defense die, the interceptors have heavy attacks and great defense.”

“With cards like Opportunist, Push the Limit, and Royal Guard TIE, this is great set to buy. It is also essential for any Imperial player who wants to make the superb Soontir Fel build.”

“What can I say this might be one of the best sets to come out for Star Wars X-Wing Alliance game. The upgrades are amazing besides getting two Push the limit, you also get two Royal Guard TIE Interceptor upgrade cards with allow you to have two upgrades per TIE Interceptor. You also get Opportunist and Targeting Computers in this set which can make for some real good offensive power plays. The Imperial Aces set also come with the most fun combat mission to date named "Mission 7: Cutting the Cord." Long story short the Imperial Player gets to use a special prototype version of any non-unique craft. Under the right conditions you can have a TIE Interceptor, or even a Imperial Guard TIE Interceptor, do 7 die damage with its primary laser cannons!!! Heres the run down. You have 3d standard with Interceptor, you get +1d if at range one. You get a +1d if using Opportunist or expose, last but not least you get a +2d if using the satellite that grants the +2d to primary laser damage. In total you are doing 7d damage for your primary laser cannons. To top it off if you are using a Royal Guard TIE Interceptor that is upgraded to RGTI you can throw in a targeting computer to reroll your dice rolls. At this point you might want to use PTL instead of Opportunist or Expose so you can focus and target lock but you will do on dice less damage. The new named Characters from the 181st and the Royal Guard are also fantastic. What can I say about the miniatures, they are fantastic. They did a great job with the new paint jobs for the 181st and the Royal Guard Interceptors. The only one problem I have is that the Royal Guard TIE Interceptor doesn't have the modifications it should. The mini is nothing more than a really cool looking Red TIE Interceptor. Although since we don't know to much about them maybe some don't have the full modifications...? Since I can't be for sure I am still giving this 5 Stars.”
