Episode 327 - Worlds 24 Meta Snapshot Part 1 We take a deep dive in to the Top lists from the Atomic Mass Games X-wing World Championships and go through faction by faction how these lists work, how they're winning games and what you might do to beat them!

This week we focus on Galactic Republic, Rebel Alliance and Galactic Empire. Next week we'll finish up with Resistance and Scum & Villainy plus a look at what the top First Order and Separatist Alliance lists looked like.
