[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 7722224, member: 92305"] You are operating under the misconception that the later editions are better than the first. There are many--I am one of them--who have played with R&E, the last edition of the game, and went back to the core book. As I said above, all editions of D6 Star Wars are good. But, there are two editions and five versions (3 versions of 1st Ed, 2 versions of 2nd Ed). Each has a different flavor. If you like lots of detail, lots of skills, big handfuls of dice, and lots of rolls for various details, then Second Edition is your game. But, if you like a slim, rules lite game, where you're rolling a lot less dice, there are fewer skills, and the game is less crunchy--being quicker and has a more fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants feel, then First Edition is your game. Both are good. It depends on your taste. If you want to know more about First Edition, take a look at this thread I wrote about a year ago: [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?484743-Star-Wars-First-Edition-WEG-A-Love-Story"]FIRST EDITION LOVE STORY[/URL]. I would say it's a necessary rulebook to the game. It serves as a type of Star Wars game encyclopedia. Almost all of this content is not duplicated in the core rulebook. Here's a description of its contents: [B]Chapter One - General Spacecraft Systems Chapter Two - Starfighters Chapter Three - Combat Starships Chapter Four - Space Transports Chapter Five - Droids Chapter Six - Repulsorlift Vehicles Chapter Seven - Ground Assault Vehicles Chapter Eight - Aliens Chapter Nine - Creatures Chapter Ten - General Equipment Chapter Eleven - Lightsabers Chapter Twelve - Stormtroopers Chapter Thirteen - Rebel Bases Chapter Fourteen - Imperial Garrisons Chapter Fifteen - Heroes and Villains[/B] I own the entire WEG D6 Star Wars line. All editions. And First Edition is my go-to, favorite version of the rules. [/QUOTE]
