    Legion is my main game now after finding 40K and even AoS too dense. Despite loving the 40k lore, Star Wars was the first love for many of us sci fi fans. Alternate activation also feels way more real and fair than full army turns. I also love the jockeying for going first per turn with command cards - so much more depth and nuance.

    I absolutely love the custom scenario, that's really what sets this channel apart from the rest--it also makes it clear that you guys are playing for the fun of it and you aren't afraid to potentially sacrifice balance for a wonderful story. Great job!
    Edit: I would be remiss to not mention the fantastic editing in this video, whomever is doing the editing is extremely good at their job.

      It's one of the things I love a lot about Play on Tabletop's battle reports. They focus on the narrative and cinematic story-telling of each battle, rather than just raw numbers and explaining game mechanics to show how the fight progressed and concluded. While yes, playing around with game mechanics is fun and at the heart of competitive play, it's always been the roleplaying aspect of having 2 armies clash for one reason or another that made games like these fun for me. And whether I win or lose, it will end with a fun story created between me and my opponent.

    Best Batrep so far, it's great to see you actively taking on the constructive criticism and making this Legion content the best it can be! Love the editors notes, especially with this custom scenario to explain any deviations from rules or just to explain how it works in quick detail. You're fast becoming the most polished Legion content creators on UA-cam and I can't wait to see more!

    this actually felt like a scenario from star wars. i could really imagine it in my head at some points, cassian jumping out of cover to shoot troopers, pushing a hostage in front of him, the tie fighter swooping down hammering the poor rebels... man, this really was awesome!

    • @Lazarultos
      @Lazarultos Рік тому +3

      The theme's and moves they made were so good! The part with Rebels running out in the open, getting strafed by the TIE as they desperately tried to reach the VIP, The Scout on the Speeder bike driving at full speed as his buddy gets turned into a smoldering wreck behind him, Cassian attacking Ruthie at close range, and shouting into his comms for the X-Wing to strafe his position and tumbling out of the way as the Officer gets shredded by laser-fire, to the horror of her VIP brother just a few meters away from her. The grim-ness of the situation and desperation for both sides really felt appropriate with the grittiness of the Andor series.

    12:20 You can't put two aims on the same unit with Spotter. Text on Spotter is "Pick up to X friendly units, each one gains an aim."
    You can't pick the same unit twice.

    • @PlayOnTabletop

      However the ruthless commander also gets her own spotter. Does that not mean it can go two on one. Or does that just mean another unit.

    • @Mr_Pongo
      @Mr_Pongo 2 роки тому +3

      @@PlayOnTabletop Yes it means another unit. Spotter 2 means she can choose 2 units to give 1 aim.

    • @Seanergan
      @Seanergan 2 роки тому +5

      @Play On Tabletop Right, Spotter 2 would mean that the text reads "Choose up to 2 units at Range 1. Each unit gains an aim token."
      So the Stormtrooper unit can only get one aim, because it can't be selected twice. She CAN give herself an aim though, because she's at Range 1 of herself.
      Veers has Spotter 2 by default, and on his card you can see that the ruling is written that way.

    This episode was awesome! Definitely looked like an episode of Andor, keep up the amazing work! I also wanted to help out that if your unit has attacked already, they're no longer qualified for a standby. With Cassian's '1 Pip', people like to move him and aim or get a dodge token, then get the standby token. So if someone activates it, it also activates his 'Gunslinger' since Command Card keywords last the whole round until they're used

    Great set, production, paint jobs.The blaster flare widgets, the clear bases, and the custom objective token prisoners made every shot look like a shot from the TV shows/Movies. Thanks also for narrating. I've played X-wing and this seems similar, and your narration helps evoke the casual competition I play these games for.
    Question for fans of the game - it seemed to me that the ships felt slow. Does anyone else get that feeling? At least observing, it was strange to see a TIE fighter and X-wing hover in place for most of the game.

    • @Lazarultos
      @Lazarultos Рік тому +1

      Well they're not actually TIE Fighters and X-Wings in game. They were using them as proxies for the actual units which was the Hoth Snowspeeder, and the LAAT/LE Patrol gunship, which are of course much slower and have hover capabilities. They just used an X-Wing and a TIE as a proxy because imagining those 2 dog-fight and do strafing runs in the air above the battle seemed a lot more cinematic than a Snowspeeder and a Gunship fighting.

      I mean, "big civil war" is kind of a general trope of fiction since like... ever. That said, I get where you're coming from; if someone's first exposure to star wars is after Warhammer, one will use the more familiar setting to base their comparisons. I've grown up with star wars, so that forms the basis of much of my personal comparisons with sci-fi.
