The beginning of this week got in a couple of games in. Jake and I did the demo from the book to get a feel of game mechanic. We noticed that cover play a big deal in the survivability of your troops. The dice color ranking is important as it does effect your chances of success versus failure.
The 2nd game against Art, we opened it up. 750 points. This allowed me to field the AT-ST but sadly I hadn't based the Air Speeder yet. The AT-ST was devestaing against the rebel troops but a pair of AT-RT helped bring it down. The interesting thing was the scenario creation. Fans of us will know a few of us used this in Dust and liked it. So happy Legion uses it. Vader is a damn Melee monster. Luke failed twice in each game to best him.
So far enjoying the game, even with limited choices of units and commanders. But that will soon change. If you fancy a game hit me up. Got enough to field for both sides. It's a great game

Took the boys to CrossRoads today and we did a large battle. I used every unit I had and added some upgrades so it's hard to say the point count per side, the idea was to let the boys play. It was a showcase of what units can do and it was Luke's best showing in games I have been part of. The Air Speeder for the Rebels is just as hard hitting as the At-ST. It may not look like much but it got it where it counts. Fast moving and some great dice count with Impact 3. So can hammer troopers or armor. Having 3 At-RT was also beneficial to hitting the Empire and protecting the troopers some. Luke went down a flank by Chase's choice and didn't have to face Vader. This awarded the Rebels as he carved through 2 Stormtrooper units and almost killed the AT-ST before it stepped on Luke.
The Empire saw some tough rolls and challenges. The AT-ST was fierce this game destroying 2 of the AT-RT, almost a trooper unit and almost killed Luke with shooting then after being damaged to a single health he finished Luke off then was killed by Rebels. Vader was shot down before getting into combat but I also didn't have him decked out with upgrades. I noticed Speeder Bike squads hit very hard but are frail and often attract a lot of fire. Both units got destroyed early.
One thing I can say about this game is that Dylan and Chase understood the game as it went on. Even the command card (not much the text but the who goes first and number of units. That is amazing. The dice with symbols is a much easier tool for knowing hits and misses. I am happy knowing my kids will get me able to play more Legion games. It also means that you veterans can get into a game easy enough.
We will need to get a big game together with all us Studio members with several of us splitting units to use. Will be a great time.
