This is so close to that perfect 5. Really, it's the best we have, so this "B" gets curved up to an "A" in the boardgameprof gradebook. I'm glad that I have a starter. There aren't many tokens here. No real complaint, but it would be nice to get a few more as a new player. If you want to start a new force, these are a great way to do it, and if they are fixed with all the right pieces, they are a terrific deal. Let’s get into it. AMG Re-Releases Star Wars Legion Rebels, Droids, & Clones Battle Forces Remember when we’re looking at these lists that even naked B1s can be somewhat effective at shooting as they have six dice, #justrollcrits. List 2: Dekas and AAT

Ultimately, Star WarsLegion is more than just a game—it’s an invitation to create an army that only you could have built, gathering troopers, vehicles, and iconic characters from the Star Wars saga and pitting them against your opponent’s army in battle. The first step in building your army is to select your side and choose the units that will make up your army. Even within the Core Set, you already have impactful choices to make with units of Rebel Troopers and Stormtroopers, along with 74-Z Speeder Bikes, an AT-RT, Darth Vader, and Luke Skywalker. You may be planning to play out a small-scale skirmish between just a few units or a massive battle, but either way, the units that you choose are the foundation of your army. Star Wars: Legion is getting a big rules update for the new Battle forces including the I nvasion Force, 501st Legion, and more! The weird thing here is that they didn't include two of the AAT pilot upgrades, just the OOM pilot. Granted, you can't take them in the Separatist Invasion Force Org, but that is annoying to not get them. The set also only comes with one Magnaguard unit card. The kit comes with two, but that's ok since adding a kit of Magnaguards here will mean having 3 cards and enough models to build all 3 units. The big list building advantage of Invasion Force is the ability to bring up to eight corps. The only corps option available is the lowly B1 unit… but eight of them is a lot. On top of this you can bring Dooku, Grievous, Maul, Magnaguards, Droidekas, STAP Riders or a T-Series Tactical Droid. Command CardsThe way to operate this list is largely akin to a force user plus gunline archetype. Maul is about as independent a force user as there is, not really caring what the rest of the list does. The rest of the list should just provide a good base of fire while Maul goes and messes with your opponents.

And of course, perhaps the most entertaining way you can customize your army is by painting and customizing your miniatures! All Star WarsLegion minis come unpainted, so after you assemble your army, you’ll be able to paint your miniatures into something that only you could have created. Although you don’t need to paint your miniatures, many players find it more enjoyable to play with a painted army, and even if you’ve never painted an army of miniatures before, Star WarsLegion is the perfect introduction to the hobby. I like the 3 Force Org specific command cards. I'm confused why this also comes with a set of the 4 basic command cards. I would expect a new player to have these from a core set or essentials kit.

This list brings a whole horde of B1s along with two AATs. This list will seek to do as a lot of double heavy lists do, shoot the enemy and do the objectives with the horde of troopers. This list could also be adjusted to ten activations to bring a couple more heavy weapons. So if you want a list that brings a lot of wounds and repair look no further. This list has 64 wounds of B1s with a total of 16 wounds of repair. This is of course on top of the 9 wound AAT and the T-Series. This list is quite the monster to wrap your head around. The sheer amount of repair really breaks a lot of the assumptions you can make about repair and target priority. In essence, the first 16ish wounds you do to the list won’t take a body off the table. That just really screws with how you should treat this list. Obviously, with Anakin or Rex leading them, your units get much better! Echo Base Defenders Battle Force:

The Stormtroopers unit leader is moved using the movement tool, and then all other minis in the unit can be placed in cohesion with the leader. Moving your units into position is vital for claiming victory in Star WarsLegion, and the exact positioning of every miniature is crucial. The position of every unit on the battlefield is open information—what you need to plan for is how your opponent can use those units! Good positioning and the ability to read the battlefield could allow you to catch your opponent in a deadly crossfire or pin an enemy unit between two of your own.Star Wars: Legion is played over the course of six rounds as you and your opponent duel over objectives on a battlefield of the Galactic Civil War. At the end of six rounds, the player with the most victory tokens (earned from objectives) wins the game.

I've had a few days to get working on my Separatist Invasion Battle Force and I thought the community might like a new player's perspective on this box. Like all battle forces, the Shadow Collective has a slightly different set of rank requirements. However, the Shadow Collective is unique in that mercenary units DO count towards minimum rank requirements–which is good, since the Shadow Collective is full of them! A Shadow Collective battle force must include at least 1 commander and at least 2 corps units. Because the Shadow Collective is made up of tough and well-trained mercenaries like Mandalorians Super Commandos, the maximum number of special forces units allowed is higher than normal at 4. And no force would be complete without several members of the most infamous rogue’s gallery in the galaxy, several of which need no introduction. To reflect this, players may field a maximum of 4 commanders or operatives in their Shadow Collective army. One of the battleforces that has oft piqued my interest, but is not nearly as prevalent as others is the Separatist Invasion Force. Today we are going to explore some list building ideas for this Battleforce to get the most out of it we can. Invasion Force Rules As every Invasion Force must have an AAT we should talk about it a bit. The AAT is a strong vehicle with solid dice. Boasting 9 wounds with a red save it does take quite a bit of firepower to remove.Obviously, this doesn’t have quite the savings as the box above, but it still has decent value for the price. What to Buy Next: They are not messing around with the sets this time! This is just another great addition to the line. This list also brings along a medic to help keep Dooku alive, if Dooku falls, the list falls. The rest of the list should just provide a base of fire so that Dooku is able to do his work. General Strategy Tips AAT They also have the cards for free which is just super nice, even though you do get them for free in the box too in printed form! 501st Legion Battle Force:
