    i'd drop that base squad and give vader battle meditation, leaving the rest to kit up the at st.

    opens up a lot more battlefield flexibility with the at st instead of tethering it to vader's  order range and short move.

    I was thinking just this except with the comlink for the AT-ST and maybe just dropping one of the extra troopers from a squad

    This is my list would love to see how the match up would go

     

    Vader 200

    force reflexes 15

    saber throw 10

    225

    Stormtrooper 44

    +1 trooper 11

    + DLT trooper 24

    79 x 4

    316

    Stormtrooper 44

    44

    AT-ST 195

    195

    Equals 780 In total

    trying to save some points for the AT-ST weapon (s) though I'll probably have to drop a trooper or something as well

    I also agree the Empire had too few notable leaders. But that is mainly because if the rebels didnt kill them, after one slip up Vader killed them off. They had Grand Moff Tarkin, Admiral Ozzel, Captain Needa, Admiral Piett, General Veers, and the Emperor himself to list the named Imperials. But honestly FFG could bring any of them to the game.

    Yeah the empire has options for commanders, but they probably won't have the greatest damage output but will be great to deal out buffs or something.

    I think Leia and Han will be commanders. Because Leia has already been confirmed and Han because of what you mentioned but I think characters  like Chewy,  R2, and Boba would fill in the specialist role or something. 

    Granted with empires lack of noteable characters Boba may end up a commander.

    I was kind of hoping the T-47 wasn't going to get the armor keyword. That thing is going to be tough to bring down, white def with surge is ok. But it's the same def for the AT-ST which makes me feel like without more than one major impact weapon a list can very easily get over run with AtRT's and T-47's

    Now that we have a peak and a price point I ask the FFG age old questions 2 cores or a core and expansions?

    Are you going to be collecting both sides?

    Are the extra upgrade cards revealed worth it? 

    I would love to see fresh discussion with this new light being shed, as well the 2 Heavys look amazing.

    For now I'm going to go the 2 core route because extra barricades rulers etc, as well grappling hooks and the jammer are cool and while both could be hand it also depends on builds per normal. My AT-RT is going to be more of the stand there and blow stuff up rather than trying to get in range 1 of something.

    Looking in on it atm i wouldn't be surprised at all to see 3 bare minimum trooper squads with armor/bike spam becoming the norm for full lists.

    I think they'll be able to avoid it because at this point only troopers (not sure if keyword or the unit type) can claim/hold objectives. At least i hope so, while id love to run a couple of at-st's with bikes on endor I'm hoping troops are too important for the objective stuff for them to be min maxed like 40k

    I'm going to be playing empire mostly because squashing rebels is too much fun to not, that being said. 

    Vader will be a beast, I'm thinking saber throw and the exhaustible free dodge force powers. But in an 800 point game that is over 1/4 of your points. So yes you will have that one objective on lock down then that's kind of it, his double move puts him about where a single move for Luke would (from what people are guessing) I think an exhaustible force movement power that increases the models speed by 1 or to max for the turn is what he will need to be the death dealer we want. 

    As for the rebel troopers getting focus fired. Yes the still can be espically if left out in the open. But the rewards for focus fire is usually being able to force an opponent to burn their tokens. While suppression will add up, morale is added up so five rebel troopers is 5 morale put them in light cover and that'll subtract 2 hits from say a five man squad of stormies that one a good day will hit 3 times maybe for with rerolls. And so on. Stormtroopers will be great when you can put them in cover and start aiming espically with their bigger gun, but I think the rebel troopers will be much more versitle in what they can do from turn to turn. 

    Im excited to see how bikes will do. They have solid mobility and that front gun is great but I'm curious where they will land in their consistency of late game objective grabbing and their ability to get their front gun where it needs to be. 

    The thing that makes me think rebels will really get away with core set victories espically at higher points is everything is cheaper, troopers and hq are both cheaper, the walker is cheaper than the bikes without equipment and I'll double check but I don't think even with the cannon that it goes over what the bikes cost.

    Here is my case for why rebels may/should dominate for at least when only the core is out.

    1. Luke

    Has much more mobility over his Father and with it a built in light saber throw because his gun for some reason has pireceing. So he can go around picking off key units pretty well. And unless there is a mobility force cardVader just isn't scary enough for me. Luke can just get to where he needs to be easier.

    2. Armor. 

    The mini walkers have two ways of being brought down, Vader and rockets. Vader should be easy to avoid if the walker doesn't walk toward Vader and with its big blaster it seems like it'll be able to aim and shoot most of the game if you get it on a good vantage point which it can because it has the climbing ability. 

    The rocket launcher is a weakness but the amount of shooting and having to take a reload action from the looks of it. Just doesn't seem worth damaging a walker. So maybe if there is a fast reload upgrade and the rocket launcher and regular troopers can shoot at different things, then maybe it's worth it but until armor gun platform is going to be hard to bring down.

    3 Troopers?

    Too early to really say that rebels will outclass their stormtroopers counterparts. But I think they will have more versatility, there shooting has 1/8 more of a chance to hit than a trooper, but also 1/6 more of a chance at dying. Stormtroopers stay alive better by themselves, but almost have to aim to be able to be threatening. Rebels instead of relying on aim can dodge, over and over and over. So in addition to being naturally more punishing, they can also just dodge and be able to stay on an objective much more reliably because the might as well have cover 1 when they take a doge action so focus fire isn't nearly as effective.

    So, because there are not too many cards, and everyone only needs two max. I'm wondering how expensive the Iconic rares and legendarys will be and how cheap the commons will become. I'm hoping for a max around $5-$10 for dice cards and maybe a set of uncommons and commons costing around $20

    I think maybe right now its a bit too good without seeing any of the other cards because of the insane ramp potential in a deck with a lot of blue. However, a one or two cost event that destroys an equipment is sure to be coming because there are so many different equipment and it would never be a wasted spot in an event deck because if your opponent has a deck not too reliant on upgrades then you can just use it for reroll's.

    So I'm starting to get worried how many legendaries will be in a booster box. Since the only have 36 boosters per box. 17 Legendaries in the first set and all sorts of different dice. You would need two boosters just to get a chance at having all of the dice. So where I was orginally going to just buy two boosters. might it be better to pick and choose singles.....
    It just isn't as much fun.
