Hope and Ayla on the Saber can definitely mitigate suppression. Granted Hope would either eat up an Anakin slot (of which he only has two) or it would require Obi-wan (which is pretty thematic that Obi-wan would be the one preventing Anakin from going too hard in a fight).

From the article:

The AAT gets the high energy shells staples to it, so it’s coming in at 178 base. Otherwise you can’t move and shoot (effectively as you’d only get 4R), but even with that, it cannot move and shoot every turn. Also, the AAT suffers from AI: attack which can bite you on specific turns if It is not issued an order. Finally, the AAT with Crit 2 (Crit 3 on the turn that high energy shells are fired) Impact one, doesn’t really pay off. On 4 dice, you’re going to average .5 surge and .875 surge on 7 dice. Will there be turns where you roll 3 surges and it pays off? Sure, but that’s not going to be the norm. Counter that with the Saber which can throw 9 dice (2R 5B 2W with Crit 2, impact 2) when using the Laser Turret for 184 points. This vehicle can aim/shoot or move/shoot every turn without sacrificing firepower like the AAT and the Crit/impact spread is way better at 2/2. Missiles and pilots aren’t really necessary on the Saber. There are spots where they can excel, but they aren’t locks.

I’m not really sure I agree that Saber tanks need love. I find them to be incredible due to their maneuverability. AAT is slower, but can punch a bit harder (at least against dodgers)

Don’t feed the wildlife...

I think this is a difficult solution, as it forces the players to remember whether a unit received a suppression that round or not (in theory, this should be easy, but in practice, the possibility for arguments to ensue exists). I think the solution should just be as simple as possible (i.e. no sharing standby tokens).

Don't you know that Toasters are exclusively made from plants?

True, but Grievous already does that when he attacks the same target with both sabers. It will depend on the type of dice he gets to roll.

I don't want a banned/limited list as that is another thing which would have to be considered on top of the points errata, which is not going away (Otherwise the units which need help would just be dead in the water). I think they should continue to fix things via the RRG as best as they can. The beauty of that system is that it will not invalidate the cards because something like "Charge" on a unit card is just a place holder that points to its entry in the RRG.

Some things to take away from Maul based on the German leak (unless they left keywords off of his sheet): Doesn't get jump, charge, relentless or master of the force (to be fair, he shouldn't have this one) Doesn't Surge to Crit (otherwise Jedi hunter would be a duplicate ability) Whatever he "Divulges" will not have a permanent effect In light of that, I'm really curious as to what is going to actually go towards his cost (I could be wrong, but I thought he and Anakin were in the 160ish range from earlier interviews). Perhaps he will have the best melee pool in the game as a counter to the fact that he has to use his first action to close with the opponent?

Pretty sure Luke Eddy said it was a mistake during the interview.

Check the box for ARC and BX. That’s where I found mine.

FFG tends to do releases on a Friday. As such, I’d say that 20 Nov is the more legit target. Also, 31 Jan is a Sunday, so that’s not realistic either.
