Snipafist 7,408 Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) A large-scale Star Wars ground combat minis wargame coming soon? Some text got leaked already, but nothing official yet: Quote Star Wars: Legion Epic warfare is an inescapable part of the Star Wars™ universe, and you can lead your troops to victory with Star Wars: Legion™, a two-player miniatures game of thrilling infantry battles in the Star Wars universe! As a miniatures game, Star Wars: Legion invites you to enter the ground battles of the Galactic Civil War as the commander of a unique army filled with troopers, powerful vehicles, and iconic characters. While innovative mechanics for command and control simulate the fog of war and the chaos of battle, the game’s unpainted, easily assembled figures give you a canvas to create any Star Wars army you can imagine.Star Wars: Legion Epic warfare is an inescapable part of the Star Wars™ universe, and you can lead your troops to victory with Star Wars: Legion™, a two-player miniatures game of thrilling infantry battles in the Star Wars universe!

If this is true, OUCH my wallet. Edit: the source is an email from Alliance, the Asmodee/FFG distributor in the US. I've seen it and can verify personally.FFG SWL01 Star Wars: Legion - Core Set $89.95 is the only new info. The quote is the full description.

Visovics 1,675 Posted August 16, 2017 So a Star wars 40K? **** YEAH! Also, do you guys think there will be no armada/X-wing/IA at gencon and they are going to announce this? Cos I'd be super excited and sad at the same time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cos I'd be super excited and sad at the same time No I think they'll announce something for armada. Wave six has been out over a month, presumably they have something for Q4 to release, and Gencon is the right place, right time. 4 Green Knight, GrandAdmiralCrunch, Snipafist and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Undeadguy 5,739 Posted August 16, 2017 I guess it would make sense. Armada is big X-Wing. Legion would be big IA. I'd love to play this game. 6 Muelmuel, ImperialCaptain2017, Eggzavier and 3 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KingCHUD 73 Posted August 16, 2017 Yeah this was exactly my thought. Have been thinking about getting back into Rune Wars now that the elves are coming out and there maybe be more of a community. But if this game plays anything like Rune Wars I'm 100% sold Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norsehound 2,738 Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) So, this means rebellion will be a campaign system to wage battles with Legion and Armada, right? Glorious....
