Minor note "Hahaha yeah" is an action. So the final move couldn't be a move, attack, hahaha yeah
Thanks for showing all these games with the new layout!
Really loving the Batch; such a strong and flavorful release
Thank you for sharing the game. A few thoughts:
1. I love that your channel makes an effort to use new releases. I love seeing the freshness.
2. It's great to see Anakin flourish. We know that the game was developed with all three mission packs. Now we see that some characters did better in certain missions.
3. You had two rules that you questioned, and in both cases, you got them right. I just want to point out that there never should have been a question on either one.
- Crosshair's ability Find the Shot just lets him Climb and get a focus action if he does. This is easily and clearly handled by looking at the Climb rule. Climb lets the character use the Dash tool (point of note, this is not a "dash" if he does not change elevation as you referenced, it simply is telling you to use the dash tool) to move and end that move at any elevation. There is no ambiguity. You perform a Climb using the dash tool and end this movement at ANY elevation. So, even if you end on the same elevation, you have still climbed and thus get the focus. As others have referenced, check Handmaids to see a distiction.
- Wrecker's Bulldoze likewise should not cause confusion. I think most people who come from other games with true line of sight or measuring distances at vertical+horizontal angles may struggle to get this, but this game (as you mentioned) does not take into account verticality when measuring distances. If we remember that everything ... EVERYTHING ... is top down, it all falls into place. There are no angled measurements. None. At all. This situation is not even an outlier or edge case. We encounter this all ... the ... time. Take, for instance, the case of a Range 3 attack or ability (capture wire for example) from a model on the battlefield against a model four elevations above it. The model four elevations up is 12 inches away vertically, plus the horizontal distance. In other words, the hypotenuse (a line drawn from one model to the other, directly) could be 13 or more inches long, and yet the Range 3 attack, which is only six inches long, can still hit the target. This is normal. This is standard.
In both cases, you got it right. They were not edge cases. They were not broken. They were disigned. So, good on you!
Thanks again for the game.
Wow, thank you for breaking all this down for newer players like me. I've only done 3 games total and am starting to love it despite my own huge initial pushback... love to see more of your constructive comment in case I have any questions in the future too! Cheers!

No secondary or primary who can get away from Anakin should ever take the second attack.
Its 3 point swing. 1 from the wound. 1 from the identity and 1 from taking the objective.
Leaving the point just lets him take the point and score 1. Which he was going to do by killing you anyways.
And now an injured padawan is much more force intensive.
I’ve been running that same Bad Batch list with Anakin with ARFs for a few weeks and they are unstoppable
The Bad Batch is amazing. I love this squad pack
They are so good, and are likely to kick my ass for a bit
Anakin at war with himself, as is tradition.
14:25 Master Plo does not get to make his Dash from his Tactic in this situation. Rex has neither Trooper or the Padawan tag. Plo only cares about the clones people call 'expendable' , if you are a clone with a name, you are too important to the plot for his character to synergise.
Think the 212th are dismal units. 4/3 defences and only 7 damage needed to take them out is trivial. No hit generation from 1 Expertise on shooting, does not get offset by a bonus damage. At least they have a shove on 2 strikes, but these guys deserve to be on the same 3 point tier as the 501st with stats like that.
ARF and Wolfpack just work so much better for slowing the game down and ganking enemies.
Wrecker can indeed bulldoze enemies who are not on the same elevation as him which may or may not actually make sense practically, but thats the game.
Enjoyed the video all of my favourite characters on the board is always good to see 😁.
The only things i picked up is Plo couldn't have dashed after choosing Rex as Rex is a CLONE TROOPER not a TROOPER.
And
Right at the end HAHAHA YEAH is 2 force and an action which you had already used both of (moved to the ladder and then attack).
The bulldoze thing is bonkers that won me a game the other ngiht doing exactly what you did from another elevation.
Your ability to know beforehand if a unit like Padawan Ashoka is amazing.
How do you do it?
Can you elaborate? Not sure I follow you here
@@AegisbrandStudios whoops I should have said you can determine if a unit is wounded by going x down the track…you figure it out really quickly. It takes me a solid 1-2 minutes
Ah, gotcha! It mostly comes to repetition, and having a general idea of what damage output some units have. Especially when staring down heavy hitters
About Crosshair and the focus/climb thing. Compare him to the Handmaidens who have a similar ability, they specifically mention one figure must be at a higher elevation for the focus, Crosshair does not. I just think that you do not get the focus if you are engaged (because you cannot climb)
That was not actually the issue. We were worried a climb was no longer a climb, if elevation did not change (as a climb is basically a dash to any elevation). We did get it sorted, but it caught us a bit flat footed at the time of filming
A climb is just a dash that can end on any elevation so whether you end higher or not the movement is still a climb so he would still gain the focus from just climbing along the same elevation. The difference between it and jump (also a dash that can end on any elevation) is that you can't do it while engaged 😁😁 hope this helps
Yup, that is where we landed as well
@@AegisbrandStudiosyep I read the comment you wrote again after mine and felt dumb as you said what I've just said 🤣🤣
Nah! I appreciate you taking the time to comment, regardless. There are a lot of weird and specific wordings in this game, so repeating it can be helpful sometimes
Great showcase, thank you! What are the acyrlics you are using?
