Well, guess we won't be able to enjoy Khobai's complaining anymore. What a **** shame.

Man, if they release more heavies for the OT before giving the PT more stuff, I'm done with this game.

Would look cool in a 10mm or less scale mass battle game I reckon. Back on topic, but, of all the vehicles they could make, why make this fugly rebel brick transport?

That terrain is really nice, but honestly still a little too open. While map 1 has some really great big pieces, a lot of the board is still very open, and the terrain is placed in a way that allows big diagonal firing lanes. Which makes it hard to hide. Map 2 has more medium terrain, but there's windows and holes in all of the buildings, so there's very few places to hide. Both tables need more medium sized terrain in the middle-ish sections of the boards to allow units to move up.

GIVE CLONES AND DROIDS THEIR SECOND HEAVIES!

Feed it. My sad life needs some entertainment! 😆

Vader is an outlier. Most characters are speed 2. Hiding a melee character until the opportune moment can win games. Most games require you to move towards some part of the battlefield. If you cannot assault that part of the field, it is hard to get that objective, unless your terrain is very open.

How is this happening? Do your players stand their characters out in the open at the start of the game. Jedi should be hiding till the right time to strike. Terrain can heavily affect games as well, so it would be interesting to see what sort of tables you play on.

Droids without HQ Uplink? Heresy!

How much time do you usually spend on each mini?

Honestly, I don't know who was the final authority on this game; but, there is a lot of imbalance in Legion that should never have gotten through in the first place. Maybe its because I've played minis games for a long time, or am an amateur games designer, but some things I noticed straight off the bat were: Heavies were extremely over-costed, mostly because some objectives couldn't be taken by them and they couldn't dish out quite enough to make back their points. Heavy weapons were too expensive on squads, making it easier for people to min max their activations by taking minimum squad sizes. Strike teams were a silly choice due to their efficiency (but I can see a case for them being there). Refresh weapons, and refresh abilities, were too inefficient, because units like to get every action they can get. Most players saw that only refresh things that auto-refreshed some how, were good. Action economy was king, so units that were able to benefit from this would do very well. Units with high speed were really good only if they were also melee units, or could take objectives. Vehicles and creatures were gimped from half the objectives. Why? A tank crew can get out of a vehicle and activate something. It just really makes people wary of going with lots of these units. Players should not feel hindered in list building like this. Lots of the characters were way too expensive for what they did. Bounty was unreliable, and secret mission was way stronger than it. Line of sight and cover felt weird. You should have to measure range and LOS from each model in a unit, not just range from the leader. Cover to the center of the model is often too hard to get. It makes people set up their models in these weird formations to chain cover on simply immersion breaking angles. Also, seeing the unit leaders of units stand way out from cover is also immersion breaking. Rules felt too clustered/disorganized/spread out, in the RRG. I would have preferred something more concise. All models should have been treated as volumes, rather than looking model to model. It saves so many arguments. Forests and other types of area terrain should be unified into a single consistent type, that provides both cover and difficult ground. Having some types of area that do not just automatically do both can be confusing to the tournament player, making it hard to prepare for that type of terrain, and practice for it. There's probably other things, and I could go into more depth. But most of the above my friends and I figured out after only a few games of each relevant rule upon its release. I liked Alex as a designer, sad to see him go. I still had the above critiques though.

I'm not sure. I thought they didn't need a points boost, but we have to work with what we've got. Fortunately Obi and P1 clones got decreases, which essentially means most lists that include all three will still be about the same.

Yes I definitely agree GAR aren't the weakest. My clone list actually got cheaper on the whole.

It's only a small points increase. I'm sure they will still be a very solid unit.

I'd prefer 10mm for a mass battle game version of legion. In plastic. That would be pretty cool.

Anakin and Maul come out tomorrow. Here's hoping the RRG does too.

It's underwhelming.

The easiest way to do this faction is to give each commander an affinity with certain units. E.g. A mando character is good with mando units, jabba is good with his house guards and gangsters etc. This way they can throw all these cool units into one faction, but we will see 'themed' lists because players will want to play mostly units that work with their commanders. Scum and Mercs is just an easy way to get a lot of minor factions into the game, in a way that mostly makes sense.

I'm a clone player and I don't really like standby sharing that much. I can understand why it's there. I like how the faction functions by being able to 'lock down' sections of the board. BUT All my opponent's hate it. I don't like seeing the look of such dissatisfaction on player's faces from playing what is just a game. It's not a fun ability to have to fight against. Clones with aim/dodge/surge token sharing is strong enough. I think the game will be healthier without standby sharing.

It will come November 2021.

Please designers (or the people managing them), if you are reading this, don't apply a hammer to this game. Apply a scalpel. Don't pull good units/factions down. Raise underwhelming units/factions up. Thanks.

It's just easier to adjust points down, rather than add things that aren't on the unit cards. So I suspect they will stick with lowering cost.

I think he's just saying it does have a purpose in some circumstances. I think it would probably be really good in a big game setting on a big board. It's just hard to justify such a large target, that moves pretty far on the relatively 'small' tournament sized boards. For the tournament game, it's optimal points cost is probably around 125.
