I agree, but FFG wants to get paid. Look at Star Wars minis. They kept releasing new character that would adversely affect the meta game and if you didn't have certain pieces, you couldn't be competitive. I had a 12" x 12" box of bagged commons and uncommons. I think this is why they included characters like the inquisitor. Not because it makes sense, but because it has board appeal and will move a lot of units.

Can Quizzy do this; This scene is one of the many, many reasons, why I despise Rebels to my core.

-- Supply crate items can be traded to any adjacent hero character. -- Imperial player (me) must select Imperial units for open groups. I do like the 5th rebel option talked about above.

The same Obi-Wan referred to Yoda as a Jedi Master in Empire Strikes Back. I think it is more likely that GL only used the phrase Jedi Master to show that Yoda was more powerful/higher ranked than Obi-Wan, then determined the concept of the Jedi Council for the prequels. I agree with this. So much that has been fleshed out by West End Games and some of the novels, after the OT, and later appropriated by Lucas, are now considered something Lucas considered at the time of writing Star Wars, which anyone who knows the history of Star Wars, knows is not true.

Well, I had only bought $84 in stuff and then I looked at the shipping cost. Well, had to go ahead and get a few more things. I didn't think shipping would be that much. Anyyway, I'm glad Coolstuff did this. It was the motivation I needed. My local game store had some figures, but once they sold he never replaced them. I went in to see if new stuff was there and all he had was the box set for $100 and Hoth Troopers.

I agree with what everyone has said. That's very creative and you've done a fine job in painting them.

I use 5 dice bar cup.

I wonder if the missions will be playing a story like a memory or stolen intel in the form of a flashback mission . For example you are playing a mission where Obi Wan fights Vader and you are trying to uncover what happened to his light saber. They are all holosuite programs!! Imperial Assault really takes place at Quark's Bar on DS9!!! I just threw up a little.

The target of the attack is defeated and removed from the map during step 7 of the attack. Cleave is performed after the attack resolves and the target of Cleave is decided then according to the situation on the board at that time. So it is possible to defeat a figure and then cleave a figure or object that the target of the attack blocked line of sight to. That makes sense, if the target is defeated, what if the target is just damaged?

That actually would make more sense to me, and does indeed make him more of a balanced character. I like your kids description, but then I have a visceral hatred for all things Rebels.

Where the hell are you getting Blast 2 from Vader? Sorry I just meant the 2 extra damage from surge.

So since this cleave is attached to a ranged attack, then is it safe to say that target not in LOS of the attack, i.e. the Inquisitor is not eligible to be cleaved, even if he is adjacent to the main target? That is, if two figures are standing next to each other, and both could be range attacked by the inquisitor, then one or the other could be eligible for cleave damage, but a figure directly behind the target, who was not in LOS of the inquisitor at the time of the attack, would not be eligible for cleave damage? I think 3 cleave is too much, given that Vader has 2 blast when he is standing their slashing you with a lightsaber, but the inquisitor gets essentially 3 blast on a second target when throwing a lightsaber, that cannot be dodged, and for 9 points, no less. Power creep takes another step to making more figures obsolete.

Great question. Around 1997 I was living in the London, stationed at the US Embassy. I had a team member that started referring to me as Rikalonius, being that I went by Rick. I loved it. It sounded Roman, and i'm big into the study of Roman history. So I started using it for my nom de guerre, and then on the internet.

I did not know a hero could carry two weapons. So they declare which weapon they are using? Is it specifically designed "side arm"?

That was enjoyable. Good work.

KOTOR is set roughly 4000 years BBY, while SWTOR starts at about 3700 BBY.

Sorestro makes some badass tracks for his painting videos.

By the rules, no, but I've played a single player campaign. Its more fun than playing Chess against yourself. I find it is great for testing.

There really shouldn't be any connection between the empire in SWTOR and in the OT (which was directly formed from the republic). Have you played SWTOR? I call it OT in everything but name. Yes, the Republic has the stormtrooper esque looking troopers, but everything else about the Sith Empire is clearly cribed from the OT empire, with just more Sith running around.

The whole xenophobia thing was invented by Zahn, in my humble opinion. It is based on nothing. George Lucas was making a medium budget adventure show and the Nazi allegory of the Empire, along with their uniforms is hard to ignore, but really it was because they hired a bunch of white British actors to be extras, and fans have run with it, virtually making it canon, that the Empire hates aliens. This goes back 4000 years apparently because it is a staple of the Sith Empire in KOTOR and SWTOR.

I would love to paint Jawas. I don't think they realistically do much, but then, neither to ugnaughts and they are in the game. So i would have had Jawa doing the ugnaught.

It's true. The change from Wookiees to teddy bears was not one of his best decisions, but then, it was the beginning of a string of bad decisions. I hated them going back to 1983, but Lucas knew marketing, and he knew he'd make a scheisse-ton of cash by using them. Star Wars was at is best before it started targeting demographics.

That's true. We could have a new player character who's just some unnamed commando from the attack on the shield generator. With the new hide ability, I'm pretty sure we'll get Rebel Commando two-pack at some point for support of the heroes.

I agree with you. It isn't a skirmish weapon, its a pitched battle weapon, especially given that most of the maps have only a portion outdoor. It would be better just to have cards that simulate its ranged attacks. I don't think there is anyway for an AT-At to move around, and its realistic arc of fire would be many squares from the feet before it could strike the ground. It would be like an battle ship in a small lake.

Sorry, my guy would have HK-47, Canderous, and Jolee. There was nothing funnier than some Jolee/Canderous interchanges during KOTOR.
