Polygon put up their preview last week;
https://www.polygon.com/2018/2/27/17055842/star-wars-legion-review-preview-price-ship-date-availability

The main hits against it were the usual FFG issues;
Not enough dice- the average die pool is 7-8 but they only give you 3 of each.
Lack of clarity of rules- the box only comes with a learn to play book and most of the rules are contradicted by exceptions throughout the book and the comprehensive rule book wasn't included. Hopefully that's just for review copies.

The models are great though they're not snapfit.

I don’t know how it would work but it would be baller as hell to use one of these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1980-Darth...hkAAOSwrBxarydt

I think you're better off with one or two of these https://m.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Star-Wars-1983-Chewbacca-Bandolier-Strap-w-Original-Box/222897373093?hash=item33e5b7ffa5:g:kkgAAOSwQKBatu6F

It would be pretty dumb of FF to make a game that can't be played fairly at a competitive level because of lore reasons lol.

I haven't had a chance to play against or with the AT-ST yet, but in the few games I've played the Rebels seemed okay. The AT-RT with the rotary gun is an incredible value. Three of those and five squads running the chain gun is a humongous amount of dice.

Just give Rebels a "Big ole' Stick" strategy card to play on an AT-ST to give it a few wounds.

I think that's what was throwing me off on the coat. The house painter didn't even try to do a camo pattern to match the promo and movie art.

Mercenary units, while cool on paper, never work out well for a game. They're just too difficult to design around, you either end up not powerful enough to be worth taking over faction troops or they cover an area a particular army lacks and they end up being mandatory.
