Good morning X-wing players!
On the heels of our awesome store championship run at the Game Shoppe in Bellevue, our league is ready to start practicing for more. We’ve got the Geek City X-wing Store Championship coming up this weekend, with more on the way as we get into February and March. If you’d like to test things out before Saturday or just looking for a game, Mayhem Comics at 6pm is the place to be!
And for those of you looking for a recap, we had an absolute blast down in Bellevue this weekend, with our group going 10-10 by the time round 5 ended. There was an awesome variety of lists with a few Stresshogs to keep things interesting.
Once Wave 8 arrives, we’ll see how tractor beams shake things up but for now, we couldn’t be more excited for how the competitive season is shaping up. Either tonight or on Facebook, we’ll review who’s planning to make the trip to Coralville and discuss rides.
Otherwise, we hope to see you there and as always, good luck and fly casual!
Good afternoon X-wing players!
Our local store championship has been officially announced and will take place Saturday, 3/12 at 11am. We’ll be starting registration at 10am and the entry fee is $10.
Tournament will follow FFG standard store tournament rules, using updated FAQs and requiring a standard 100 point list. The event will take place at Mayhem Comics in Clive, IA (click for map link).
Let us know if you’re planning to attend by heading to the Facebook Event and hitting “Going”.
If any changes or updates are made, we’ll provide notification here.
Good luck and fly casual!
Good morning X-wing Players!
It’s hard to believe we’re already halfway through January 2016, but it has arrived nonetheless and you know what that means? The 2016 Store Championship Season is upon us! Check out our League Events Page for all the details on Store Championships in the Midwest Area.
Tonight, we will of course be meeting at Mayhem Comics at 6pm for our usual Monday madness, and hope to see you there. Whether you’re interested in Heroes of the Aturi Cluster, or just some good ol’fashion X-wing deathmatches, we can find a game for you.
Also, this weekend is the Game Shoppe Store Championship, out of Bellevue, NE. We’re taking a crew out there Saturday morning (Caleb will be driving separately but looks forward to seeing everyone!) to experience some of the best x-wing play the Midwest has to offer. Store Championships are a great way to cut your teeth on competitive X-wing play, and we can’t recommend the Game Shoppe enough.
If you’re interested in attending, just let us know either tonight at league night, via Facebook, or through our email at desmoinesareaxwing@gmail.com and we’ll help you ready for the tournament and/or arrange transportation.
Otherwise, as always, good luck and fly casual!

Good morning X-wing players!
Mayhem Comics out of Clive, Iowa is putting on a two-month long league devoted to all the variety of miniatures sold at the shop. The rules are relatively simple – as you play miniature games throughout January and February, you get points. Those points go towards prizes which will be awarded at the end of the league.
It’s called the Omni-Miniatures League and is a great excuse to try out all kinds of interesting games.
You win points for doing each of the following:
Play a qualifying miniature game.
Win your game.
Play a game against an opponent you have not yet played in ANY week of the league.
Play a game system you have not yet played THAT week.
Play a demo game with someone who has not ever played that game system before. Note that you can not earn the “Win a game” point in a demo game you are teaching.
A week runs Monday thru Sunday. (there will be eight weeks in the league)
You can only count your first game against each person, each week for points. You can not earn points for additional games against the same person until the next week.
I personally am looking forward to some X-wing/Armada demo games, along with learning to play Guild Ball, Malifaux, and maybe Infinity. It’s also a great excuse to get in more Warmachine games and finally try out Arena of the Planeswalkers. Pics of each can be found below 🙂
You can find a link the event here.
Good afternoon X-wing players!
The first Monday of 2016 has arrived and we’ve got our first Monday night at Mayhem of the New Year. Come on down to Mayhem at 6pm to experience the fun, as we test out new ships, refine old builds, and get ready for the 2016 Store Championship season.
We hope to see you there and as always, good luck and fly casual!
