I was looking at Dragon's Lair calendar and they have Wednesday nights listed for "Startship minis open play". Are people showing up and doing that? I know there's some folks who do Friday nights, but wondering if there's people on Wednesday's too.

There might be but i havent seen them
last tuesday about 6 people at different times showed up to play space ship minis.
A bunch of guys I know go to DLair on Wednesdays to play XWing. I don't know anyone who plays Armada.
Armada seems to still be a niche within the X-wing player base. It's a great game, just completely different in focus. Wednesdays at Mage's Sanctum are their X-wing night, so I usually go there. Friday is the big X-wing night for DL, but people meander through for games most nights of the week it seems like.
I showed up last Wednesday at 6 but couldn't find anyone to play. If you're interested in a game (with someone not too experienced at the game) I was planning on giving it another try tonight.
I can be there around 7p, give or take 15 minutes. I'm going to dinner with the family but can come by after that.
Sounds good; I'll plan to show up around 7 myself.
Wait, what is the damn X-Wing night at DL? It seems to change month to month.
for the past 2 months at least, it's been Friday.
Seems to be both Wednesday and Friday. I was there last night (Wednesday 8/19) and there were about 8 people playing X-Wing. I was also there 2 Friday's ago and there were a good 14 or so playing that night.
Wednesdays is open-play for X-Wing, and Fridays is the DLair X-Wing league night. Echoing craigmray4, there are usually more people on Fridays than Wednesdays.
I think the guy running the league there is just a fan not an employee, probably why the discrepancies. And don't believe he is on this forum, but he does post on ghe ffg forum.
And i do know some folks who show there on Wednesdays but not regularly
I know he posts about Friday league nights on http://www.meetup.com/ATX-Wing/
The Wednesday event is just a casual thing that includes X-Wing, Armada, Firestorm and anything really that includes spaceships and minis. There are some players that want to play on that day but do not receive official support.
I am the X-Wing organizer for the Friday league (my posts keep getting moderated) and that hasn't changed since January. I am not an employee but I work closely with the store for all events. I receive the official FFG prize kits and have first dibs on X-Wing tournaments.
I encourage players to attend Fridays as we have gathered quite a few players weekly now.
