There's also going to be options to use non-Force using commanders. I'm looking forward to using General Veers and some Snowtroopers with AT-STs.

I've mentioned these guys before for 3d printable terrain, but they're very nice models, and prices are pretty reasonable. I got their package where you get everything they produce, including periodic updates to existing models. https://imperialterrain.com/ Lots of different buildings and obstacles to choose from. If you've got access to a 3d printer, it's a pretty good choice. I plan on making a bunch of different things and getting or making some roll-up mats.

uncle blog posted:Just read the movement rules in the LTP. What happens if somebody moves their AT-ST into a wall, or close enough that the movement tool won’t fit in the front, it stays there for the rest of the game? You can go in reverse, or pivot. It's in that same book, under vehicle rules.

If you're asking when it launches, it's March 22nd. Some stores are going to have it starting today so they can do demos and Learn to Play events. FFG has a list of stores on their site I think.

I'm heading to Adepticon Wed. night to pick up my Legion bundle, then going back home. Only a 1.5 hour drive each way, so not terrible. Then I get to do the same thing and blu-tac some d00ds together to use on Thursday.

Not specifically. Just generic rules for elevation and line of sight.

Playing the team tournament at Adepticon and we’re getting wrecked. Rebels absolutely need cover to shoot out of, and none of the boards have any. We end up having to camp on objectives with no line of sight and we’re just getting steamrolled.

I played quite a few games over the weekend, and I mostly enjoy the game, but I think it has some balance issues. The AT-ST seems absurdly powerful, and the Rebels have few weapons that can reliably damage it. I also think there needs to be more ways to mitigate dice rolls. Even with Dodge, I was losing full squads at a time due to crap rolls on what is already a low chance die. Rebels absolutely need cover to sit behind and shoot out of, and the boards we were playing on had very little of it. Our choices were to either hide behind buildings and let the Imperials roll across the board, or sit on objectives out in the open and get cut apart. That being said, I do think there a good game in there. The cover thing was largely due to the face that the Adepticon staff was rushed to get boards set up. I also think balance will even out as upgrades and new units are released.

Raged posted:You can make a AT-ST a waste of points with 2 Ion troopers. Place the squads with them so that if the AT-ST goes after them then the vulnerable back is facing your T-47 and AT-RTs The problem we ran into was that with upgrades it never has to move. It can hit anywhere on the board and fire 4 weapons.

Raged posted:Firing is an action. 2 Ions tokens means it gets no actions. It is a sitting duck. You fire the Ion as part of the squad's whole attack pool so you are pretty much guaranteed a to get that hit to crit in. poo poo, I thought it was 1 action period, not one per token. That does make things a little better. I'm willing to chalk most of my issues up to a rushed release day tournament. The boards were pre-set so we had no say in terrain placement, which is different from how the rules say tournament terrain will be handle. On the plus side, I met the game lead designer, and he seems like a pretty nice guy.

So far, with the two additional waves that have been announced, they're sticking with the original Trilogy. I'm wondering if they're going to go the multiple faction rout like other war games, or stick with more of an X-Wing approach, of just two factions, maybe three if they mimic the Scum faction. I do thin that as more people are playing and there's a chance to do some proper list building, things will balance out on their own. Adepticon was largely "play with what you could get your hands on" which limits what you can really do.

I'd think about swapping some Z-6s for Ion guns. All the Imperial heavy weapons have Impact, and they'll be looking for your AT-RTs. If those die off quick, you're going to have trouble dealing with an AT-ST.

So what are you all doing for paint schemes for your Rebels? I don't want them all the same, since I want it to feel like a thrown together force. I'm thinking of doing each squad in a different scheme. Like one desert, one forest, one urban, that kind of thing.

Courage is for the unit. Remember the unit can use their commanders courage if they’re within range 3 of them too. Which means Stormtroopers near Darth will never run.

Eventually yes. Right now, Vader is the only released Imperial Commander. General Veers is out soon, and I imagine there will be more commanders to follow. The Rebels have 2 others announced besides Luke, in Leia and Han.

I get that they want to be thematic, but it seems like the rules don't support what they're trying to do. I haven't played for a while, so feel free to correct my potential misconceptions. Thematically, The Empire marches across the field, with heavy armor and overwhelming firepower. So far so good. Legion has armored troops and lots of big guns. Rebels are supposed to be a rag-tag force of guerrilla fighters using hit and run tactics and sabotage. It's hard to pull that off in a table-top war game. some of the units work well for that, but it seems like the base Rebel troops are at their most effective when you can plant them behind cover and never move them. I would think you'd want to create a system that rewards positioning and maneuvering.

They’re doing a “here’s what’s going on” kind of thing at Adepticon, and said there’s going to be a product announcement. Might be new factions. It’s a logical place to launch that kind of thing.

FFG is selling a con exclusinve Vader model at Star Wars Celebration, but between VIP badges, who get in to the hall early and sales to other exhibitors, they sold out for today before the hall even opened to regular badge holders. Good work FFG. I imagine the same thing will happen tomorrow when I'm going.

Apparently, FFG is giving away a Sabine pin with a $30 purchase, so VIP badge holders are buying Vader to get the pin, then dumping the model on eBay. Id be fine with that if they held some back for standard badge holders when the hall opened.

I've got 5 squads of Rebel troopers too. Must be a thing. I've also got a Snowspeeder, which I used once and realized that it's terrible and will never earn it's points back in a game before getting shot down by the average squad of Stormtroopers.
