Cody seems like a great republic commander with that range 4 gun

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

His gun is very solid. Thanks for watching!
-Joe

[@theoneleggedraven1940]

Surge-ical precision there, boys. Well done!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching-Don

[@brantschafer4735]

With any luck, Cody with spark a change for Rex. Excited to see some of the new releases. With Don’s aversion to killing Joe’s clones the surges are hardly necessary.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Rex needs a point drop for sure… the old scars from Rex ball I think is preventing them from doing anything… thanks for watching!
-Joe

[@bornminiatures]

Thanks for the shout out for our DJ marshmello army! We really liked playing you guys and your content is great! Hope to see you next year!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks man! Was a pleasure to play with you both! Thanks for watching!
-Joe

[@StormtrooperYD]

Poor Don , GAR is just your kryptonite

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

It does seem that way. Thanks for watching!
-Joe

[@charlesfox4449]

I always forget my surges. and thanks for discussing adeptiocn

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching!
-Joe

[@czarvak9186]

surging for surge sakes!
also great to meet you guys at the convention even if my voice was gone. Thanks again for the sticker and the silhouettes

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

It was fun meeting all our viewers -Don

[@terrorkiks9223]

going through Yt and realising thats sunday because the Grey Video is up so the day becomes aweseome :D

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Haha glad we can be a Sunday boon! -Don

[@nickhartung6941]

GG love the content. You guys give an hour of fun every Sunday so thank you

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Glad to be reliable! -Don

[@keldonlarose9944]

The wipes on the speeder bikes were insane, 6 blanks haha. Fun video!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

That's the way the cookie crumbles -Don

[@bradleyscott6304]

I think Cody will bring in a big surge of GAR on tables. People are love clones for the fact they are clones, and every chance they have to be good is more than enough of an excuse to field them

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

He is very solid and looking forward to more games with him. Thanks for watching!
-Joe

[@TheCritHitKiller]

Brilliant stuff guys, loved seeing Cody in action!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching! -Don

[@masonberkheimer1293]

great as always!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching-Don

[@darthhayzer3160]

Impressive…. most impressive. Keep up the great work!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching -Don

[@raxenladevaldak1749]

It's hilarious to me how Joe is so self conscience about his measuring after one comment 🤣
Cody looks sweet, I have tried him out once myself.
The phase 2s forgetting they were reliable was funny too.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Lol… it’s a problem I have to work through apparently lol. Thanks for watching!
-Joe

[@zachdaigle3420]

The only reliable thing about phase 2s is how often you forget to put their surges out 😅

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Lol, thanks for watching!
-Joe

[@jordanvozenilek1092]

I'm really looking forward to Cody.
You know, surge tokens are kinda good. You probably shouldn't forget them XD. I'm looking at lists with Cody and Aggressive tactics to have surging red saves on a Saber Tank with LTA.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

You are not wrong. Thanks for watching!
-Joe

[@JohnHelling-pw5km]

Don’t sweat forgetting the surges. I am the guy who didn’t read the fine print in his super good deal on the 501’st box set. So you taught me my phase 2 also zuverlässig 1.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching -Don

[@DeegoBix]

Great video as always.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching-Don

[@travisskane5459]

Thanks for always including thoughts about the new releases at the end of the videos, neat to get the Adepticon story time too.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching-Don

[@jesperkjr]

Great to see Cost on the table 👍
He'll be surging up into the meta lists😜
Those saves on the AT-RT were bonkers 😮

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah it was a bit nuts -Don

[@danielphelps2138]

Thanks for the great game and breakdown for Cody. Really looking forward to him.
I frequently forget the Surges for my Reliable guys too. Just weird timing for when they’re supposed to go out. So much else going on that feels more important.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching -Don

[@cyberdwarf-ng1gf]

this further showed me i need a cody in my army. he is my favourite clone, good to see he is also a good pick

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

He is very solid, I think he is going to see some good play. Thanks for watching!
-Joe

[@isaacmackey1950]

I feel like Reliable surges during a game is the most overlooked keyword, right next to Independent! Solid fun match as always, thanks much!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

It's tough sometimes to remeber -Dob

[@JayOttawa]

Great game guys! Those pesky clones still won’t die. Don congrats on making it into worlds!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks! It was a lot of fun! -Don

[@shadowscout0013]

Def an interesting list composition, but love watching y'all use the new commander Cody. He did a great job

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching -Don

[@V1ctoryGin]

Who needs surges? Great game, fun to watch!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching -Don

[@justisreynolds9413]

I wished I rolled red defense dice for my clones like you do, but at least my phase 2s have a surge

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Lol, thanks for watching!
-Joe

[@hawkthetraveler6344]

I like the purple trim on the imperials Don. I hope you put some purple on your Gideon so that I can add it to my head canon that this is Gideon's imperial remnants scheme.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Nope gideon didn't end up with any purple on him haha -Don

[@chrishoobler522]

Another great game. I just started playing Empire, and I love the moff and double dark troopers. I was rooting for don during the last chance. I was sad to seem him loose on day 2.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

He had a great run though! Thanks for watching!
-Joe

[@sergiozurron9738]

Surges indeed are a great mechanic for the GAR, they give them the extra push they need, also, I think Obi and Cody would make in the table such a great duo it would be hard to ignore, however, it may take too many points, but would be a funny list for sure

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

They would be very solid but you are correct the point cost is high for sure. Thanks for watching!
-Joe

[@Zhukov1898]

It’s been a while, love to see Cody

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching-Don

[@Reeeeeeeess]

congrats guys!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching -Don

[@brianpigford7923]

Gotta love it when clones win. Only one more week to hopefully win those awesome alt arts. Come on Kenobi

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching! -Don

[@user-oz4ql4ej4k]

Forgetting Reliable on my Phase II's is the most reliable thing you can count on when playing against me! Honestly glad it's not built in with Cody for another one to forget about

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching-Don

[@kingbobb007]

“Surges? We don’t need no stinking surges…” is what my droids always seem to say. Cody sure does seem like a stacked leader. He’s got all the toys to play with, and is happy to share with his army.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

He is a strong clone addition for sure -Don

[@spidergrunt]

Another great game. Really looking forward to Cody. He’ll be a great addition for GAR.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching-Don

[@Jezter804]

I didn't realize Cody's 1 pip observe function spent the token without getting the reroll. That's really interesting.
Really digging Cody though, seems like a blast with or without vehicles. Hopefully, this'll spark a buff to Rex.
And dude... reliable 1 is the hardest thing for me to remember every time I play clones XD at least you remember eventually Joe!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Haha Joe is usually really good at that -Don

[@Daan_Dubach]

Lol surges, I have found that the best way I remember to use them is to put them on their cards as I use them during the game... That mostly helps. Cody seems ok. I would have run a Sabre though I think it would work better than the trashat (laat)

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Everyone at adepticon was saying how good the laat was going to be, so Joe had to test it...-Don

[@jjs1384]

Congrats on the duos win guys! Maybe we’ll get some more duos games with your locals on the channel in the future

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

I am sure at some point we will. Thanks for watching!
-Joe

[@amansairforce]

New name for the business: J "No Surge" Designs

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Haha they should consider it -Don

[@Fitzbaron13]

Within an hour of it going live. That’s a first for me.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Woo!

[@jimmyd85]

well after seeing Cody in action i defiantly will have to get him now, wasn't sure on first look but damn he's really good

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

He is very good, even without a heavy -Don

[@kaz9357]

Cody looks pretty sweet. So sad that Rex is basically a display piece at this point.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah, he needs some help -D0n

[@ashleykeyes6867]

That red trooper is sticking out like a saw thumb

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

He is camouflage-Don

[@MattDoesGamess]

I made a triple barc cody list and it absolutely slayed. I see that LAAT too... haven't watched yet, guessing Hound and Grizzer for some observes huh? lol I did try that out and found it not necessarily worth it. It was useful for one turn to get 8 observes on a tank on cody's turn that gave out impact to spend an observe.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching-Don

[@jameswoodward280]

Phase 2 surges :P

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching!
-Joe

[@chriskempf6787]

Surge tokens? SURGE TOKENS..we don't need any stinking surge tokens

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Lol, thanks for watching!
-Joe

[@atleymiller6181]

Any thoughts on what I should by for republic after I buy the battle force? I'm thinking another box of phase ones or twos, rex or a comander. I already have the starter set.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

One more phase one at least. Yoda and wookies are great too! Phase one upgrade adds a ton and so does the commander one. Thanks for watching!
-Joe

[@cyrusrhoad78]

Maybe I need to use vehicles more 😂 but altleast I use the phase II surges

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Lol, thanks for watching!
-Joe

[@zackduncan5219]

Never in my life did I think I'd see 2 LAATs on the board lol those paint jobs are fantastic! How'd you get the red windshields? I also completely forgot that Clone Engineers existed and now am rethinking my own Commander Cody / Vehicle list.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Both windshield were done with sharpie markers -Don

[@mikeagnew1931]

You could say that Joe Surged at the end to take that game.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching-Don

[@MithrandirAv]

Great game. Too bad the Empire lost. How do you kill clones when Joe is rollin all those red blocks?🛡

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

If only my dice did this in tournaments lol. Thanks for watching!
-Joe

[@blakefoltz5872]

Hound and Grizzle did got as much action as phase 2 surge, but both were not needed

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Very true -Don

[@TheDarthMader]

I think the new units are all a little bit overpowered, the same is true for cody in my eyes. The only thing missing is reliable like the phase2 has and give him additional surge tokens

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah he would be a little to strong with reliable as well -Don

[@garett7386]

Holy speeders

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

With blizzard force being a thing 3 speeders is nothing -Don

[@warzonetakeover5860]

What better to deal with armor, armor 😂

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

It's 2000s level pimp my ride style -Don

[@Zeromus5555]

Veers command cards need to be looked at and updated. His two pip is especially bad nowadays.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah most of the wave 1 stuff isn't going to hold up -Don

[@therevanchist8508]

Don... diced almost every game it seems lol

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Usually it's more bad decisions followed by trying to have dice save me -Don

[@CanistSyaoran]

I thought with the new LOS rules you can't see/shoot through the AT-ST.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

You can not, I didn't see what video this was on, but it could have been an older one-Don

[@therevanchist8508]

Why did neither of you bring something that can go in the LAAT? lol

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Was not bring it for transport, was bring it for Cody ability/armor support. Other games we have brought it for transporting. Thanks for watching!
-Joe

[@atleymiller6181]

Who will surge there way to victory?

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching -Don

[@fletcherhinton1452]

Joes dice where uncharacteristically Not great this game wow

[@fletcherhinton1452]

Or at least at the start of the game

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Haha thanks for watching -Don

[@hawkthetraveler6344]

the zoom in camera work really added to it :)

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

It was something -D0n

[@anthonybuonomo7391]

This is gonna be a fun one

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

You bet! -Don
