Staelwulf got a reaction from Caimheul1313 in Standby - Clones can double tap?!
That is a thing. And it also applies to every other unit, not only clones. For example Krennics command card "Deploy the garrison" also makes it possible for a unit to attack twice per round via standby token.
The token sharing ability of clones is incredibly powerful and versatile 😉.

Staelwulf got a reaction from oreet in Imperial Battle of Scarif List Suggestions
Imperial Death Troopers (76 + 38 = 114)
--DT-F16 (22), Offensive Push (4), Targeting Scopes (4), E-11D Focused Fire Config (8)
DT-F16 is a unique character, you can only field one unit with him (indicated by the point in front of the card's name). If you are looking to spend more points you should take the DLT instead. Targeting Scopes is a bad upgrade on Deathtroopers since they already have Precise 2 and you rarely need to reroll more than 4 dice. Instead you should give them com relay so you can relay Krennics Entourage order to one of your shoretroopers.
Director Orson Krennic (90 + 10 = 100)
--Commanding Presence (5), Strict Orders (5)
These upgrades are alright on him. If you want him to fight on the front line you should give him inspired leader instead of commanding presence. If you want to use him in the backline (where he usually is) you can give him binoculars since it can be hard to find a useful action for him to take.
Shoretroopers (52 + 54 = 106)
--T-21B Trooper (32), Shoretrooper (13), Targeting Scopes (4), Fragmentation Grenades (5)
You don't want your shoretroopers in close combat so there is no need for grenades. The additional trooper can be dropped if you need points.
From a competitive viewpoint I would recommend using snipers to fill up the list. If you want to stay with your theme, you could add Vader to your list. Your list is lacking anti armor (I don't know if your friend is playing armor) and melee/light saber defence. Vader is good at both.

Staelwulf reacted to Flengin in Bicsay Campaign. All chapters.
So, that’s how the Bicsay campaign ends.
If you’re finding that this ending is too negative, then here are 2 points you might find helpful.
1) It’s very Star Warsy. The harsh reality of the Star Wars universe is that the Empire is in control and secrecy is the only way to fight them. The Rebel Alliance has a long history of running from one hidden base to the next, even when they technically win the battle. Hoth and Yavin 4 are the prime examples here.
2) It’s easier to take if you don’t see the campaign as being its own complete story, but rather an origin story. After all, we all play 400 point battles. And we often take CR90As. From here on out how often will the player refer to one of their CR90s by whatever name they gave their ship in the campaign? And when they do, will they smile and drop a hint that this ship has a long and proud past that they know so intimately? I look forward to the day when someone, somewhere, playing in a major tournament refers to an (untitled) Nebulon-B as the Morning Ridgeline (ok, that’s never going to happen due to the perceived reliance of Nebs on their titles, but I can dream).
So, what did you think? Was the ending too much of a downer?
Also, if you ever try this campaign and find it’s going too long for you, I’d be inclined to drop either Chapter 6 or 8 or both. I’ve had serious doubts about whether they should be included as they can distract a little from where the campaign is headed.
Finally, where to from here? First up I’m going to tidy this campaign up. While I won’t change any of its substance, its formatting does leave something to be desired, so I’ll give it a dust up.
After that…
I’m toying with the idea of doing either a sequel campaign or an Imperial campaign.
Let me know if you’d be keen to see either.
Or even if you’re keen to help me work on either 😊.

Can't wait to read the next chapter! Love to read the campaign story. Hopefully the Commander Boom can finally get the upper hand on the Icon next time!😁

Staelwulf got a reaction from bllaw in Iden's Crew
I would switch Veers for Krennic and cut the imperial officer on the shores for the extra 10 points Krennic needs and for a com relay on the DTs. If you also remove Overwatch it will be a 10 point bid.

Staelwulf got a reaction from Caimheul1313 in Does "You Serve Your Master Well" Spend the Attack Action for the Turn?
Correct. This is also why a unit can attack twice with Palpatine's "Pulling the strings". Once during its activation and a second time because of the ability.

If you are searching for someone to help you, you might have better luck finding him/her on the SWL discord server. There are multiple channels for TTS games.

The cover/LoS rules are the most complicated rules in SWL (still simple compared to similar games) so it is naturally the hardest rule to learn for beginners. You can use the chart in the linked post below to check if you did it right. It looks pretty big and complicated but after 2 or 3 games it becomes a matter of a few seconds to run through all of that.

Staelwulf reacted to XR8rGREAT in Still no AAT or B2's
Because there is no street date for the AAT we still dont have access to it in NZ as retailers wont release the small amount they have. The B2's very few made it in but now all gone. What is a CIS player to do? There is only so many times I can play the same list.
COME ON FFG.

Staelwulf got a reaction from Reavern in Since we are on Lockdown, show us your Skills!
A rocky start is a pretty huge understatement. It wasn't the developers who didn't abandon it, it was Disney. They threatened EA to revoke their license. There was no goodwill by any company involved. They just threw out an unfinished game cashed in on everyone and cashed in even further with their scummy microtransaction. And if Disney hadn't had stepped in because they saw the reputation damage done to SW, EA would still run it that way.
It is in fact quite a decent game now. But I have 'tegrity and I won't forget what they did.

Staelwulf got a reaction from arnoldrew in Imperial Speeder Bikes Help
- As stated above play them as a tandem and focus down one target.
- Don't drive them throgh the center of the battlefield, use them to attack the enemy flanks.
- When you move them use your cohesion to place one of the bikes in cover or on a building/rock so that they get heavy cover.
- Keep in mind that they need to to do a speed 3 move at the start of the next round when you are planning your move/attack for your current turn.
- Long Range Commlink is usually the best upgrade for them and they like to get Veers "evasive maneuver" in round 2 or 3.
- Point costs for speeder bikes have been adjusted by FFG from 90 to 75 points.
- They will die. It's only a matter of how much they can shoot before they do so.

Staelwulf reacted to whisperingskull in Imperial Speeder Bikes Help
I love speeder bikes. I use them to great effect. They are great at getting enemy attention, and if they are ignored, they hit hard. Mine get taken down fairly quick from time to time, but they have saved the day more often than not. I don't normally run a single squad either, I always run two. Use the two squads in tandem, focusing each one on the same enemy unit where possible. I also give them long range comms so I can issue orders to them when I need to control their activations. Imperial Specialists also have a great command card- Pinned Down. It issues orders to two support or heavy units. When one of those units attacks an enemy unit with a faceup order token, that token gets shuffled back into the stack. It takes some experience using them though. None of my lists did well until I played them a few times and got the feel for the list. Let me know how they do the next time you play them.

Well Anakin turning into Darth Vader and the Republic turning into the Empire happened at the same time.

True, but in that case there should also be an Imperial (pre-suit) Anakin and Imperial Clones, too. 😁

Staelwulf got a reaction from ewardell in May release?
It is true that the new expansions arrived in Europe a few weeks ago. It is not true that retailers started to sell them before they were allowed. They showed up as "new releases" on the european Asmodee website a week before they were sold in stores. If you want to blame someone you should blame Asmodee.
