But painting them is the best part!

Hopekuma The tie striker is space capable, it just sucks. lol Standard Tie pilot & Striker pilot hate each other. lol

I know, I was just being silly. I only even used the Striker because almost all of it's Bios start something like "This craft designed primarily for atmospheric flight..." Hehe ;)

You are correct, but think on this. Wedge's card says that until the end of the activation, pivots you perform can be up to 360. The harpoon says you can perform a pivot with the target vehicle. Does that mean Wedge can harpoon something and turn it completely around?

No, the Harpoon Pivots the target vehicle and Wedge's ability lets you pivot his vehicle (T-47). And the 360 degrees is silly but I guess it eliminates any potential arguments. Basically when you use it you can point his vehicle any direction you want. Of course it is a Tap ability so you have to time it right.

But the cards don't explicitly say it has to be the vehicle Wedge is piloting. Wedge's card says, "when YOU pivot", and harpoon says, "perform a pivot with that vehicle". You are performing the pivot of the target. Doesn't Wedge apply to all your pivots in that activation?

Tim Koglin I feel the same!

I’m totally in the same boat!!!!

You only need terrain to make playing at home more awesome. Do you have a FLGS near you to play at? They usually have terrain available to use when playing there.

The cost of entry for Legion compared to some other games of this type is actually pretty low. In addition, terrain can be pretty cheap. You get 8 (?) barricades with the core set, but you can also use other objects as terrain. Stacks of books, game boxes, coke bottles, and so on can all be used to add some cover. You can use shapes cut out of paper or cardboard to represent different types of terrain. It won't be pretty, but it'll work to play the game. Generally the desire to hobby will follow, once you find a game that you like. In addition, if you don't like to paint minis, you can get a friend to do it, do some simple painting on your own (primer coat, and maybe some another color or two), or just leave them unpainted. Don't listen to anyone who disparages a player that doesn't want to paint their minis.

I noticed that there were very random choices for expansions/locales too- my guess is because they were trying to hit all of the "nostalgia" factors first to get people interested. Like we have rebel fleet/ship troopers and then an Endor Leia? Snow troopers, AT-ST, General Veers, snow speeder, and then Endor rebels? (could be painted as Hoth rebels but not marketed as such). Still all very cool and promising! I ordered the core set, will probably pick up an AT-ST after all that's painted and wait for the next wave to be announced before buying more.

Traitor!

yup

A used collection on Ebay

@@Crabbok would you recommend it? Or do you think I should just do it myself?

You can sometimes find a deal if someone is selling an entire collection, so you may save money that way. However, I find that part of this game is the hobby aspect - and I absolutely adore that part. I would recommend diving into the hobby aspect if that's something you think you also might enjoy.

@@Crabbok Ok thanks! Also one more thing. Could I just get some sand and rocks from my yard, put it on a table and call it the board for this game?

Out of the 2 heavy units in the game, I like it the best. It may not look as cool as the AT-ST, but I think it plays MUCH better.

Crabbok thanks for the info.will have to rethink this.

Yeah I figured it out afterward - the hype had me blinded.
