steveisbig got a reaction from HirumaShigure in What kind of player mats are these?
"Deluxe" is that "Hey, you don't have to leave your cards on the table, unorganized, like a savage".

steveisbig reacted to KrisWall in Surprise Combos
I had a Kelifi Dragon and 2x Gauntlet of Commands in play + 2x Angers in hand. My opponent had a board FULL of Elusive creatures and felt pretty safe... but the KD has a fight effect to deal 5dmg to a creature and gain an aember.
Fight with KD, gain an aember and deal 5dmg to first elusive creature. Take no damage in return. Gauntlet of Command Fight with KD, gain an aember and deal 5dmg to second elusive creature. Take no damage in return. Gauntlet of Command Fight with KD, gain an aember and deal 5dmg to third elusive creature. Take no damage in return. Anger, gain an aember. Fight with KD, gain an aember and deal 5dmg to fourth elusive creature. Take no damage in return. Anger, gain an aember. Fight with KD, gain an aember and deal 5dmg to fifth elusive creature. Take no damage in return. The Kelifi Dragon fought 5 times in a row, killing 5 Elusive creatures and gaining me 7 aember in the process. It was definitely a surprise for my opponent.

steveisbig reacted to xbeaker in Deck Problem And How To Solve It - FFG Please Watch
Oh.. wow. Great idea. Man, never thought of that! Thanks, you solved the problem forever and for everyone. Shame no one ever mentioned that before.
Oh my god! READ MY POST. WTH is wrong with you people?! I DO TRUST MY STORE.
Why is every response "So buy from FFG!" ?!?!
I am not worried about myself. I am worried about the people who aren't on these boards and my not know better.

As someone who also lives where it's cold the majority of the year, the absolute best purchase I've ever made in the mini painting hobby is an air brush. You can get fairly good complete packages for like $80. It really cuts out a lot of the frustrating bits from painting minis.

Shout out to FFG's in-house team, this app works way better than X-Wing's did (or even still does).

steveisbig reacted to Captain Weather in MOTF - Battle Report Ep.10
I definitely think there's a place for them! I just think the main part I personally find hard is that a lot of their job is area denial. So when they're being good at their job... nothing is really there for them to shoot. So it's weird because they're doing what you want them to do, but also you're sitting there going "I JUST WANT TO ROLL SOME DICE AND SHOOT THINGS".

You cannot have 4 AT-RT. you’re only allowed to have three support.

steveisbig reacted to Palpster in What's the point in to buy a Core Set?
What you mean to say is that they hold no value to YOU since you are apparently only interested in Organized Play. What you fail to see is that to the majority of consumers the starter decks are just as much a deck as the unique ones are. And therefore $40 for 4 decks and tokens will be perfectly reasonable to a lot of people.

steveisbig got a reaction from lukecook in FFG Clone Wars art and speculation
Why did i look at this? My wallet is already empty. These images make me way more excited.
Could we see Jedi join a squad of clones and have it take up personnel/heavy/both slots, becoming unit leader? I like the idea of them being rogue, but prefer it if they're tied to their squad, i think. Maybe just the generic Jedi knights.

steveisbig reacted to Animewarsdude in FFG Clone Wars art and speculation
I've gone through some Deviantart accounts tied to FFG and through Cardgamesdb for Clone Wars related images and posted them below. Obviously we can't account for new art but this should give us some ideas of what might be coming this coming year.
Obi-Wan
Clone Troopers, the art of the T-21 Repeating Blaster makes me suspect that will be one of the Phase 1 Clone's heavy weapon options. As for the mortar team, if Phase 2s get that it seems like it would be a heavy option that needs to be recovered but allows for shooting across the board.
Jedi. Not tons to say here, I suspect we will get lots of Jedi Commander options, though the Jedi Temple Guards might be an option for Special Forces, likely filling a similar role to that of the Royal Guards though with a force talent slot.
Gungans. The Electropole could be a heavy weapon option, as could the Gungan with the shield, maybe the first helps protect from melee pierce while the other helps protect from ranged pierce? Might be interesting if FFG did a 'Native' wave for Legion with the Rebels getting Ewoks, Imperials getting Nohgri, the Republic getting Gungans and the Separatists getting Geonosians.
Count Dooku
Greivous
Ventruss
Maul
Battle Droids, really interested to see how they will capture the feel of B1s, be it by having larger than normal squads or if FFG will just make them dirt cheap points wise and then expect players to pick up tons of the expansions to run them. Droid Commandos will likely be a Special Forces option.
Destroyer Droid
Magnaguard
Separatist Medical Droid, I had been wondering what they could use for the CIS's medical personal slot whenever the Republic and CIS get their personnel wave and this could work.
Separatist vehicles
CIS Operatives
Force Upgrades. In the event that Force Jump wasn't just built into the unit card I guess they could add it as an upgrade but would be very situational on the map setup. Force Rend, not sure how they might implement it but it sure doesn't look comfortable to be put through. Force Heal would perhaps be interesting but perhaps would be best as a single use like emergency stims.
Others. Not sure about the V-1 Thermal Detonator and how that might be implemented and the Runaway Boomas would likely not be added or just part of some Gungan artillery if that was added. The EMP grenades I see being packed with Clones as a way to interfere with droids and possibly vehicles.

steveisbig reacted to Zrob314 in Is Key Positions slowly killing the game?
Well, if key positions is the third choice in the objective grid then there's nothing you can do to stop it.
However for the change I think they should be make it like Armada, you choose from Red Player's deck, not blue.
Sure, take that bid, you're never gonna see key positions and I'll have an 800 point army.

Listen to what the reviewers write or say in their review to see what they liked and didn't like instead of skimming to a score out of ten at the end?

steveisbig reacted to Orkimedes in Notorious Scoundrels Episode 2 - Always Be Measuring
Early release this week. Many sound quality improvements. No Bothans died. This week we talk about Boba Fett, the concept of a meta (and if its even a thing), and Legion fundamentals. Also, we are now on iTunes, Podbean, Google play, and Stitcher (whatever that is). https://podcast.notoriousscoundrels.com/e/notorious-scoundrels-episode-2-always-be-measuring -

Confused Panic - When this unit panics, instead of moving toward the nearest board edge, it moves towards the nearest enemy unit.

Strange Ricochets - When this unit rolls a surge on defense, the unit firing at him takes 1 wound.
Melee - Confused Chaos - 4 Red Dice, Impact 2, Pierce 2
Ranged - Gungan Pistol - Range 1-2, 2 White

steveisbig reacted to TauntaunScout in Ewebs and FD turrets are shipping!
When you're 14 you've got everything. You've got your health. You've got lots of friends around. You have family. There's always something to do. You don't have any money though.
As you age, you 'll find that it reverses. You've got money... but the more money you get, the less of everything else you have. Your back/knee/whatever hurts. You never have the same days free to play as your friends (the few you still keep in real contact with, a bunch of FB likes don't count). Your old relatives are dead or moved away.
When you are 34 you will look back on the simplicity of playing the (by then surely dead) game of Star Wars: Legion with just two core boxes as an awesome thing. You're 14, you're supposed to be 14, steer into the curve. Live each phase of life the way it's meant to be lived. 14 is for playing (seemingly pricey) games with just a couple core boxes and improvising free scenery out of garbage, and doing stuff like repainting a rebel Ion Grrl to proxy as Leia with photocopies of your buddies Leia cards.
Don't try to keep up with the meta-joneses when you're 14, it won't be any fun because your efforts won't match your results. That was tons of fun when I was 20. By the time I was 30 it just seemed pointless.
