  1. Ugh. A female Mando? Really? And whose melee? They are supposed to be commandos. I blame Star Wars Minis, and then that horrible character in the Clone Wars, Pre Viszla and his stupid dark blade. It would have better if they discarded the Aqualish and made the mando the tank, employing gadgetry like flame throwers and net guns. A bulked up Mando would have been great. Sorry, I love the female characters in this game so far, but not this one.
  2. A Dewback is significantly smaller and less bulky than an AT-ST or a Rancor or a Bantha. It's not that much bigger than a large horse. In fact, if you look carefully at the figure render, I think it comes on a 2x1 base like the eWeb and Wampa. Ah, good spot. Also, it looks like he's riding a small version too, or at least one on a diet: Terro on his baby dewback. He's not as scary anymore You don't know his baby dewback! Judge him by his size, do you? He could be a pitbull.
  3. THIS deal.... is very fair and I'm happy to be apart of it.
  4. It depends on how they play Luke in this. I would think it would take a team of rebels to infiltrate the palace and set up for Luke's arrival. Too bad Mara isn't there. Like instead of Jabba, who really is a bad addition to squad based combat.
  5. Why? Because it wasn't in the movies? Where was the giant vehicular ground battle in Force Awakens? If you look at what Animewarsdude pointed out, Empire at War, Rebellion, and Galactic Battlegrounds, and Battlefront have all demonstrated OT mechanized warfare and its wild popularity among fans. I think the OT is the perfect place for it.
  6. I can't say enough how highly I rate Rebellion as a game of its time. I spent many, many hours with friends playing that game.
  7. You can reinforce that unit with threat as well. So if you have 3 Stormtroopers and 1 is killed, you can reinforce the lost figure for 2 points. If the unit is completely wiped out, however, you can make it reappear only if it is in your open groups, and yes, it costs threat.
  8. I don't think so. You can be healed, at least I've been playing that way, back to full wounded health, but you can never turn the card back over.
  9. Hondo was a good character in The Clone Wars. He was one of the few characters with any depth. He has been turned into a bubbling buffoon in Rebels. But Rebels is a kiddie show, so it isn't that surprising. Yes, there are a couple decent moments in Rebels, but 90% of the time I've groaned more than I've been the least be engaged. There were groan inducing moments in Clone Wars, and I wasn't partial to some of the lore, but it was far and away better than Rebels. I want to play Yakity Sax every time they fight stormtroopers.

  11. Yes, that is true. Whether FFG will be allowed to include her is another matter. It all depends on who Rey's mother is. If they've decided that Luke had a wife and she is gone now, and that it was Mara Jade, we might see her.
  12. I think Endor is a small box. Emperor, speeder bike x2, rebel commando (separate pack), Ewok swarms (6-8), two Heroes, no mercenary units. Jabba's Palace should be the big box, but hopefully take place part Tattooine and part city planet. Rancor, Gamorreans, hopefully Gran with thermal detonator, weequay pirates, and some type of imperial police unit for the city planet. I know I'm a minority here, but I really hope we don't see the Emperor. I know all the skirmish players want him. He doesn't fit in the game. Just like I don't think Mon Mothma fits. This is squad level combat. I don't think Thrawn would be good either. We know that Darth Vader gets into the weeds from time to time, but the Emperor isn't going to go out on the battlefield. Are the heroes going to be able to kill him? I don't think we need speeder bikes either. There is just no room for them on the IA scale. I do think we will see Gamorreans (for goodness sake we have Ugnauts), and probably a mix of pirates. I said in an early conversation, I'd like to see the next box expand the story of how Han got to Jaba's Palace. The heroes are the initial force that have to pursue the competing Bounty Hunters who are trying to get Han. Maybe the last mission could be helping Lando infiltrate the palace. So long as 4-LOM and Zuckuss are in it, I'm good.
  13. More elite stormtroopers. Maybe the 501st. The problem with that is, then the Ewoks would probably be tougher too. I cannot abide the idea of an Ewok being better than a Stormtrooper. They better come three to a base and a unit of 3. Even then they need to be holding blasters. Also, the BoE would give a chance to have the Imperial Army troops that others have wanted. I don't think Kyle Katarn survived the EU purge. I think he's been gender-bendered into that, so far, stupid character for Rogue One.
  14. If I were going to make an IA map section for it, I'd only show the living spaces inside the Falcon and maybe just have the shadow for the rest of it, since figures can run under the area in front of the ramp.
  15. In an earlier post you said something about a red-headed Sith. While I share this desire to see her in the game, I must quibble and say she wasn't a Sith. Still, would love to see her be canonized in Rebels. The perfect opportunity is during rebels with the inclusion of Thrawn. She would just about be old enough now to be being trained by the Emperor. I think she was a few years old than Luke anyway. We could see her pursuing the Rebels now the inquisitors (whom I hate) are nearly wiped out.
  16. I still sometimes play Risk despite not having an expansion for quite some time. Honest, I don't know how we got along before you had to constantly dump money into a board game or it would be dead.
  17. Me too, then I can stop buying it after it gets out of OT territory. I want to see Scout Troopers, obviously. Zuckuss and 4 LOM to finish off the bounty hunters. Luke Skywalker Jedi Knight. I don't want to see Ewoks, but it is inevitable. I guess maybe some Nikto or Weekquay mercenaries. Gamorean Guards. Maybe another Twi'lek hero that is not a force user, and another hero with a race that isn't represented yet. Duros? Oh, I almost forgot. Rebel commandos.
  18. I would highly recommend you do the core box campaign first, and keep to side missions that are part of the core, just for the sake of learning it all. If you want to do the Hoth campaign, you'll need tiles from the core box and the Hoth box.
  19. This was a custom map for Star Wars miniatures. It looks like it is darn near to scale, for length anyway. There is a full size printable map out there someplace.
  20. The Falcon is probably too tall, but I'd guess its x, z dimensions are probably pretty accurate. The Falcon is not a small ship. According the Wookiee, the Falcon is roughly 34 meters by 34 meters. 34 meters is 1338.58 inches. Divide that by 57.2 the scale of 32 mm miniatures, and the Falcon should be roughly 23.4 inches long to be to scale.
  21. I cam across this little gem on youtube. Was this anyone in this community? The painted figures are exquisite as the customer describes.
  22. Zuckuss and 4LOM are my most anticipated figure. I was happy when X-Wing released their ship as I thought there might be a chance to see them in IA. They has as much screen time as Bossk, Dengar, and IG-88.
  23. I must give you "props" for your efforts to reconcile the community in such a creative way. That's what this game should be about.
  24. This is really a nice idea. I like it. Maybe you, or someone, could come up with some epilogues.
