    I love your Legion battle reports. A hint and I think I catched a mistake. Hint: If you recover, you also take off your supression. Mistake: You did move three times with Maul. Juyo Mastery garantees you three actions, but limits to two moves.

      Hi Holger, glad you're enjoying the battle reports. You certainly did spot a mistake, it's be a long time since I played with Maul and completely forgot he couldn't triple move.
      Did we forget to remove suppression after a recover or should one of us taken a recover action at some point?

      @@CraftyTerrain I really enjoy your reports very much. It seemed to me at 47:20 that the b1s did recover to ready the rocket launcher, but kept the suppression. Not a big issue in any respect. Only sometimes newer players think, that you recover cards and/or suppression individually. So I wanted to mention that.

      Hi mate, glad you enjoyed. The Dark Troopers are hard to play against, they have so much fire power and the IRG gave them good protection.
      My thinking behind Key Positions was I have more activations and double Force Puch for the end of the game to win the middle KP.

      That's a shame that one card made that huge of an impact in the game but it really did. So strong. But hey Austin at 5th trooper been crushing tournaments with a similar CIS army. I'm just a huge fan of Maul and love seeing him still on the table for them.@@CraftyTerrain

      @@battlereadygamingTotally agree, Maul is just such an iconic character and the choke nurf did hurt him but I still think he is playable. After choke was nurfed I ran this same list with double Burst of Speed, it was ok you got into your opponents lines very quickly.
      I saw Austin's list, it looks very strong with the 3 Magna's, might have to give it a try 👍.

      @CraftyTerrain  Рік тому +2

      Hi buddy, thanks for the comment, we do take pride in having good looking tables and it's alway nice to get positive feedback.
      The Vultures come in a 3 pack and I'm sure they're a Hasbro toy, should be able to find them on Ebay.
      The ARC 170 I'm not sure on, but I think it's a Revell model kit. Its not perfect scale for Legion, but works if you cut it up and use as crashed terrain.
      Hope that helps and thanks for watching 👍

      Hi Fellaz, I had to run away with the B1s, the Dark Troopers are deadly at range 2, would wipe a squad in one shot. I needed to stay at range and use the impact rocks to get some kills. Don't think of it as running, think of it as tactically repositioning 🤣.

    You did so good job with b1s, but the second half of your army (maul and Ventress) did nothing. You attacked snows and storms and they did nothing to maul. Ok there was a palp, but he didnt have push so you could enter into melee quite safe. If you push snows or storms into you, palp cant enter into melee. There were so many options and even if maul dies from palp pip 1, that is a fair trade.
    The same with Ventress. Even if you wanted her to stay safe. You could jump fpush kill some. And take standby and jump again next turn. Or even if you were in a punch fight, you would take some with you. Let Say 1 dark unit. So what palp would have? 1 dark (2 activ) and palp. 3 activs vs ... 8?
    Force users are made to enter into melee.
    But I so much enjoy watching you playing b1s! That was great!

    • @CraftyTerrain
      @CraftyTerrain  Рік тому +1

      Hi Jakub, thanks for the great comment and I agree with most of what you said. I do feel the way I played Maul was ok, he killed a unit of storms, kept 2 busy all game and held a key position.
      I didn't want to dive Ventress into 2 full strength Dark Trooper units plus I also didn't really have a safe time to move in, the turn they came into range, one dark trooper unit had a standby. I got Ventress in safely but lost the 1 pip roll off on the next turn.

      @@CraftyTerrain I like to talk a little ;) Thanks for the anwser.
      You said Maul (200 points?) kept 2 units (88 points?). If he killed 2 units and got some damage and he would be able to kill Palp or Palp need to use his 1 pip. Win situation.
      About Ventress. It wasn't 2 units full darks. B1s did some damage. Counting on being first with 2 pip Palp it's not a tactic :) If darks took standby that's cool. Each of darks unit just does nothing, I buy it!
      Anyway it was extremely good play with B1. Would you like to play on TTS?
