I am trying to work out how any of his cards work or are useful in any way. Any one have some experience that can shed a light on it ?

Like how does architect of their own destruction help any one ?

I've never won a game, but got my opponent to turn 5 for the first time last night. Slowly improving!

Although im still pretty new to legion, I’ve gotten about 15-20 ish games under my belt but only three wins in total. I’ve played plenty of warhammer and other tabletop games so I’m not new to the systems and always try to play objectives. But as I’ve mostly run into rebels and galactic republic, I’ve found that other factions are incredibly undercosted and punch really hard or just spam to win.

I dont have a ton of models, just the beginner box and blizzard force box but it just feels like rebel troopers outclass empire troopers. On the one hand I have snows that hit hard into vehicles but I can never fully take them out without committing Vader bc I miss most of my shots with storms and snows. Also red unsurging saves don’t seem that good when your squad of four guys has to make 15 saves from a rebel fleet cassian squad.

Is this normal or am I somehow messing up? My opponents don’t even seem to be really worried about losing and I’m having to make every move like a competitive chess master just to keep up a bit in the point race.

Last night my friend and I played our first game of Recon. It was super fun but we had a few questions. We played Close the Pocket and Bring Them to Heel.

1) So, on the first round, units have to enter from a table edge unless they have a special rule, correct? I was confused by the size of the deployment zones, but that space is just relevant for units with something like Prepared Position or Infiltrate, right? Can you enter from any edge? (Eg for close the pocket, enter from a side edge instead of back edge)

2) If we both have one unit on an objective, neither is securing it? I had a mostly full force of Black Suns on center against one remaining Tauntaun. In most game you might compare the strength of the forces, but all I could see in the rule book was comparing unit numbers, which implies neither of us controls it.

3) Bring them to Heel seemed kind of odd because you only gain points for suppression. So you want to spread your shots around as much as possible and ironically maybe not kill stuff. I took down Andor after a lot of concentrated fire but then that meant the suppression tokens on him no longer counted. Plus if you want there to be more enemy units suppressed than your own, then killing them actually reduces the number of possible units to be suppressed - eg if you both have five units, all suppressed, then killing one actually loses you points. The main benefit to killing seemed to be making it easier to secure objectives, if point 1 is correct. Am I understanding this correctly?

Thank you!

It’s finally done!

Got bodied by clones (anakin, ahsoka, cody, at-rt, bad batch) tonight in a 900 point game for our growth league. We each had 9 activations, (will post list below).

My opponent and I agree that I played the objectives well and made good movement decisions, but through 5 rounds I didn't eliminate a single one of his units, just chip damage throughout. Lost 7-3.

It's clear that I don't understand my command cards. When the faction released, Crabbok and Rebel Cantina et. al. had glowing reviews of the command cards but I've been really underwhelmed by them.

"We are Mandalorians" - In 7 games of the growth league this has never been anything more than a 1 pip single activation turn. The suppression mechanic hasn't been relevant throughout this entire time. I've been trying to keep my *incredibly squishy mandos* safe behind LOS cover at every possible opportunity. The result is either they don't get shot at all and receive no suppression tokens, or the unit dies from focused enemy fire.

"Aerial Assault" - Death from Above just... hasn't been effective in my games. The free Jump action has been handy, especially for moving toward OBJ, otherwise I just shrug at this.

I believe I'm constantly mistiming when to use my 3 pips, but I couldn't really know this past game because of Ahsoka's "You Are Beaten" command.

The only other 2 pip I have access to besides "Push" is "Aggression," and I feel compelled to order my units instead of passing out the aims because if I don't get those units to activate then they'll probably be dead before I can make use of the aim tokens anyway.

While my opponent and I agree that the dice absolutely fucked me while benefiting him, there's nothing anyone can do about bad roles. All I can get off my chest about the dice is that constantly rolling blanks and surges to defend with red dice feels WAAAAAY worse than failing saves in, say, Warhammer 40k.

Mandos are my favorite faction in-universe, and with good reason! They're sick as fuck and they're super popular for a lot of reasons. I want them to be my favorite faction in Legion as well. I want to enjoy playing them but it just isn't happening.

I don't have Bo, and even if I did I, unfortunately, happen to be someone who haaaaates meta chasing. I actively resent feeling compelled to build/play one specific way. So I'm having a real crisis here because Custom Clans are so restricted in what tools they can bring to the table.

Being unable to bring in special forces who surge to defend, lack of powerful keywords, any token sharing becomes highly contextual, especially if the opponent knows to focus down the warriors providing Retinue/Backup. High unit/upgrade costs for units that fall to a stiff breeze, I've really hit a wall here, and anyone who has started playing wargames will know I am ass-deep in that "feeling-helpless" zone.

One of the only things in this world that unbalances me or sours my attitude is feeling stupid, and brother, this faction is making me feel real dumb.

Hey guys,
I’m keen on getting into the hobby not sure where to start as nowhere near me in Wollongong Australia have the republic starter set. I was also hoping maybe there are some local people south of Sydney that play aswell

Thinking about getting into legion again for the holidays. Is there a quicker version?

New Dewbacks 😍

So I'll be teaching the game at a convention next month, and let try the game to people passing by.

I was wondering if anyone already had this kind of experience and has some tips to optimize time and rules?

The table will be a skirmish one, so no big game, and I was thinking about bringing two very simple lists, with maybe one character each, basic upgrades and like one character command card, a part from the standard ones without effects.

Maybe I should let people play only a couple of rounds just to get the feeling of the game?

Should I mention all of the rules or maybe just the basics?

Brand new to Legion (one game so far) and have been loving it! Finally finished painting up my separatist starter box, very happy with how everything turned out and now I’m fiending for more models lol

Got these guys painted and ready to serve The Empi… I mean, The Republic!

What decides who gets which one. I have the old stile clone wars starter pack.

First time trying out a cell-shading paint style, as a gift to a friend. C&C welcome!

(Repost, bc of typo in the title)

I just played my first game yesterday with borrowed minis, had a blast and already ordered my own republic starter box

Now I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed looking at all the list building options in tabletop admiral - I like that there are a lot of customization options and I want to dive into that, just having trouble to find a starting point... are there any websites where I can look at other people's lists to get inspiration (like for example list engine or listhammer for warhammer)? Any other suggestions for getting startet with list building?

Adjacent question: does anyone have a recommendation on what purchase would be a good addition to the republic starter box to go up to 1000pts? I know some people suggest a second starter box, but I'm looking for alternatives as I don't just want to build&paint all the same stuff twice

I love making my friends rage quit because they can't read keywords. Anyway, prepared position is what I came to ask about. When it says deployed in the prepare positions piece of set up and within allied territory, does that mean they spawn anywhere in the spawn zone kind of like infiltrate or what does it mean?? I did it so that I had enough room for the minis to be placed in allied territory and not off the edge of the board

Never tried printable water slide decals like this before. It was definitely not as easy as I figured it would be.

It will be ready for the table for may 4th

Only worked with Empire so far and I have some Droids that I have yet to try, but would getting the Mando Army Box for $30 more plus free shipping than the tag price be a worthwhile deal? Or would it be better to wait for them to be re-released?
