crx3800 72 Posted December 21, 2018 But you CAN make a full squad of one and a strike team of another from the same box. Even has two command tokens in it. 5 FlyingAnchors, awesomeclaw, Alino and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jocke01 454 Posted December 21, 2018 My tip is to use a spare rebel trooper Body or imp assault mini to convert an extra sniper/proton guy/gal. I bought 2 boxes, but I can play with 3 strike teams if I want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buckero0 1,082 Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) i converted my guys and now i have too many of each of them. I've got 3 snipers and 3bombers and some extra figures still from 2 boxes Edited December 22, 2018 by buckero0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If at least two teams are identical, does a duplicate card serve any purpose? As long as I have there is a list printed out or otherwise on hand, the cards are just there for stats. There's an argument for exhausted weapons/skills I suppose. Rifle modes for pathfinder types too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buckero0 1,082 Posted December 29, 2018 I only use one card no matter how many units i play with. 1 card set (strike team and heavy weapon upgrade) works for 3 of the same unit. 1 card for all my z6 units and 1 card for all my fleet troopers. The unique figures get their own cards and upgrades. There is so much redundancy and over use of cards in this game. If there was a decent printer friendly army builder I'd never use any cards for this game. If i played more and didnt need to look up rules or show my friends the rules, i wouldn't use the cards at all. Most of ffg games suffer from too much extraneous cards and tokens and way too much time to set up a game as opposed to time playing the game 2 ldmonetakoehler and Katarn reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know a couple of people who insist on laying out cards for their spammed stormtroopers with DLTs but everyone I've met seems to operate on a 'your army, your business' sort of philosophy. If they get upset at that they'd have a full on meltdown playing Armada with me- I use a dry wipe pen instead of any of the tokens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All these games take too long to set up for my taste anyway. It's hard enough to get time to play a full game. We also live in a world where the majority of 11 year olds carry computer/phones with the internet at their fingertips. I make my lists online where all the cards are accessible Edited December 29, 2018 by buckero0 2 Tirion and ldmonetakoehler reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally, I never lay out all the cards if I have identical squads. But I will personally NEVER field an army for which I do not personally own all the cards.

crx3800 72 Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) I only lay out seperate units when they have something that might be used differently, such as emergency stims where each unit will need to keep track of its own. Since my stormies tend to be the same, I usually just have one page with whatever I took.
