How much of this game is the force user commander just slaughtering endless amounts of cannon fodder troops? Id like an actual troop vs troop game and want to steer as far away from the force stuff as possible. Basically my question is how close is this to the last 5min of Rogue One?

Some thoughts after playing a few demo games at the store. - Speeder bikes really need a 6x3 map. Even at that size their mandatory move seems a bit too long. In the demo map theyre pretty much fodder for Luke once they commit to a direction. - White dice suuuuuuck. A full squad of storm troopers with aim token was regularly rolling 0 hits. I laughed pretty hard when I saw that rebels could buy a guy who throws 6 white dice for 3/4 the cost of a regular squad. What a deal! - I was kinda worried this game would be Guys With Lightsabers Kill Everything: The Game but Vader is pretty slow and goes down decently fast to black dice but Luke is pretty invincible to storm trooper fire. Ironically youre more likely to kill luke by running up to him in melee and beating him to death with your rifle than trying to shoot him. Although if you miss hes pretty much annihilating a squad a turn. - Not sure I like the way you pick the scenarior/deployment/whatever cards...and the activation cards / random bag thing are kinda goofy but whatever. - gently caress you 3 dice per box god that poo poo is tiring in every product you release. - the mini walker dude is pretty fun esp since he can scoot backwards and is more forgiving that speeders. Screw it..i wasnt planning on it but I think im gonna buy this game.

hoiyes posted:I hope this is hyperbole because the chance of 5 white dice doing this once is like 2%. Were you converting offensive surges and rerolling three dice with precise keyword? It happened enough to when it was time to shoot id just say "Ok time for all blanks" and I'd roll all blanks and depending on if they had cover is prob when id roll a hit or two only for them to be meaningless. Precise should prob be something like turn a blank to a hit or something I dunno but the empires troops seem like poo poo compared to the rebels

Is anyone magnetizing their AT-ST head? or are they just gluing it on? what a good sized magnet to use?

Floppychop posted:Just impulse bought the core and an Airspeeder since the FLGS was having a wicked good sale for Tabletop Games Day. More AT-RTs is always a good bet. A friend runs 3 of them and wrecks people. Veers seems good. Hes prob the only way to make use out of HH-12 troopers atm. I can see double commanders lists with Veers + whoever else is next the same way people are theorizing about Leia+Han lists. You def have to be cagey with him though. Hes no Vader for sure.

Ima try this. 793 General Veers 80 Commanding Presence, Esteemed Leader, Stormtroopers 44 DLT-19 Stormtrooper, Impact Grenades, Stormtroopers 44 DLT-19 Stormtrooper, Impact Grenades, Stormtroopers 44 DLT-19 Stormtrooper, Impact Grenades, Stormtroopers 44 Impact Grenades, AT-ST 195 88 Twin Light Blaster Cannon, AT-ST 195 88 Twin Light Blaster Cannon 4 squads of Troopers has been enough to work for me in the past. The 2 AT-STs should be enough to soften up enemy squads, scare people off objectives and soak up enough damage for the troops to swoop in and claim whatever they need at the end. The grenades are for Vader/Luke who wanna suicide dive Veers/troops. I think no bikes should be fine since kinda suck at the "hold/grab an objective" missions and the people here go hog wild with terrain on maps. Long march should be auto win even without mortor launchers although i might try to find points for at least 1.

I think I'm done with this game until Imperials get a commander that isn't a straight downgrade to it's rebel counterpart. Playing against Luke with his infinite amount of bullshit is about the most unfun thing imaginable I knew this game would end up being a giant force user jerkoff fest.

If they were gonna release other factions they should have done so from the start. They're gonna piss off a lot of people if in under a year they go "oh btw here's 2 new factions sucks if you already committed to the first 2"

I just don't get what hes supposed to do that justifies 140+ points. Like yeah he can zip around but hes not gonna kill squads with 2 black dice any better than a bike squad will. He can sorta run interference on Luke for a bit but you still need to deal with him eventually. I guess he can ferry objective tokens around...

Its overpriced for what it does. It cant take or hold objectives, and it cant really go out hunting units either since it's really awkward to use around your own troops and maneuver around dense terrain. you just kind of stick it where it can hopefully get decent map coverage and hope it's enough of a deterrent to funnel enemy troops into other areas.(it wont be) Most people will just straight up ignore it though since it doesn't put out enough pressure to warrant putting in the effort to kill it.

Rebel thing might be ok if they let the gunner guys shoot in any direction but if they're limited to the front arc only with a speed 2 + compulsory move this thing is gonna be garbo for the same reason the AT-ST is. The fact that you can only put in single unit troopers kinda blows. Luke really doesn't need a 75point ride when he has double move and force jump.

I was thinking of getting back into legion with the droid faction. How are they? They seem cool and fun and dooku and greveous are good boys but I just know I'll spend hours on pumping out battle droid squads only to have Luke run up and obliterate all of them in a single round. I hope theyre not just worse stormtroopers.

With stormtroopers it was a squad of 4 meat shields protecting the one gun with a gun that could hit things. Is it like that?

What is the state of Legion atm? I quit fairly early when the only vehicles were the AT-ST and snow speeder, which both kinda sucked, and commanders like Luke would just run around decimating entire squads. Seems like the game is a lot more vehicle heavy now.
