It’s crazy how scary Anakin and the 501st are currently, they are so lethal and did really well at Crucible. Great game and amazing lists from both Lord Valdak and Mercenary!
Yeah I like them just need to learn to play them
Broken*
Hopefully AMG addresses it soon and gives poor Rebels a buff.
I think the rebels are in a good space with the new updates personally. And sleeper cell can really throw out more damage. Also more updates are coming so excited to see what else they change.
@graysquadrongaming8670 They got nuked the most by the cover changes. Stuff just melts now and they shouldn't have to play beef to survive.
Rebels - the Thinking Player's faction. THIS is how Rebels have to play, to win, by focusing on the objectives and finding some way to stay alive long enough to get to 12. (Oh and you totally messed up the armor on those speeders). I used to put targeting scopes on as many Rebel units as possible in the old Legion and it really made a difference in that format. Put them somewhere they can get an aim, like hiding behind an AT-RT, and let them defend a vaporator.
I 100% just straight forgot armor until later. Then I call it out and fix it :) for some reason was treating them like a speeder bike lol. Thanks!
-Joe
That was really fun to watch. Sorry for Don's close loss there. It underlines how much more important than ever before playing the objectives is now, though. Rex & Anakin against a bunch of t shirts looks like a walk in the park at first glance, but just like in the original movies, those pesky kids pull it out of the bag in the end...
Yeah for sure
Alll the passes, and strategizing passes.
Thanks for watching!
-Joe
its nice to see another version. the rebels focussing on the objectives while suffering heavy losses, but still being able to hold on, and the republic trying to eliminate. those passes made it also interesting, and you are ablo to react a little more ez with them. still really close game. it was nice to watch. ps: i finally caught up to the vids... that was a long run
Welcome to the current videos, don’t worry got another for you next week. Thanks for watching!
-Joe
This was a great game. I do not think there has ever been so much passing in a single game before.
Not for us yet
Love love love the rebels. Great game guys. Even with the activation parody i was still saying pass, pass, pass to Don. Ani 501st seems to be the tyrannosaurus in the park, cant wait to see Don get on that monster and really learn how to ride it! Thanks for all you do for the community! You guys are the BEST!!
Thanks for watching
You guys rock! We are all still learning. Keep it up!
Welcome to the game
That was a great game! I was really surprised that the rebel trooper/commando spam performed so well. Their offense really wasn't bad! Gives me good ideas for list building!
The land speeder hit harder then I thought the would as well. Thanks for watching!
-Joe
In addition to passing, Don should have split fire with his commandos to spread suppression.
Could be one way to panic more. Thanks!
-Joe
Great game guys. Nice to see how often points are so close in 2.6.
Thanks for watching
20:35 your clone commandos is using gun with high velocity, no dodging allowed (nasty). Doesn't affect anything since they only see one.
That is correct, Don first time playing them and me not remembering to tell him lol. Thanks!
-Joe
I played a very similar game, republic vs rebel where I killed all but the unit leader on 3 different Ewok squads but then at the end at least 2 of those unit leaders were still alive and able to score. It's rough when you don't wipe the unit if you are running low activation lists because you don't have the extra guns/time to spend on shooting 1 model.
Yeah it always hurts to leave 1 alive
I have loved the 501st battle force! Anakin and ARCs getting fully reworked makes it a super aggressive in your face run up and hit them style that I enjoy. I'm not sure if avoiding coordinated bombardment round one at the expense of closing the distance was worth it, but that's the only big blunder I'd say personally. Breakthrough is one of my favorite objectives so far especially with everything having charge.
I would agree. I felt he was being too cautious to hide from her one pip. Thanks for watching!
-Joe
Great game guys! That was indeed a close game. It was also crazy the amount of pass tokens that were in play. I can't wait to see what's in store for the next game!
Many good things for the next video
I really hope Rex gets a nice upgrade with the new cards. Anakin is a monster, rightfully so. Rebels are tough to play right now imo. White dice just can't hold up, even with new cover potentially blocking more incoming damage.
I don’t know if he needs one anymore. The new rules really elevated him. Scout is much stronger, cover is not as strong, and that all plays into him along with being able to share tokens at range 2. Thanks!
-Joe
Commandos have high velocity
That is correct! Thanks for watching!
-Joe
What a close game! Pass and flip shall live forever.
At the end of round 2 Joe should not have scored a victory point for the POI that Anakin was by. Anakin was contesting the point. You only score the point in friendly territory if it is not contested.
We definitely missed that line and went into the old thinking of not secured. Thanks!
-Joe
That was a great game! Pass pass pass and so many activations! Some mistakes and errors aside, well played by both of you. Love seeing Star Tours too
Thanks for watching
You get a pass you get a pass everyone gets a pass!
Everyone gets a pass! Thanks!
-Joe
Great game. Still learning the game and have yet to put minis on the table so these videos are very helpful. And great quality and discussion. Big fan!
Thanks for watching
Interesting to see the classic rebel troopers out. I think the update did a good job at giving each rebel corp unit a niche to fill.
Yeah they feel a little better with agile
I wanted to see rebels win because that's what I play, but I also wanted to see Don get a win in Legion against Joe. It was great that it was so close at the end, with all the pass pass pass action as well.
Thanks for the support -Don
I got the 501st battleforce bix right before New Legion launched and Im very excited to give it a try with the new rules. Pass pass passing is going to be super helpful against high activation lists.
The 501st is very solid
I love getting to pass pass pass. I think it is better than the old way of passing
Yeah for sure
I love Anakin 501st. Passing seems so strong in this current game. My main list is a 11 act 501st list. I can't wait to finally play new legion.
Thanks for watching
As a GAR player to someone who hasn't played GAR much, I think one thing Don needed to leverage a bit more was engagement on Rex side. With both ARCs and Commandos throwing the same in melee as they do at range, I think he could have abused the engagement rules to tear up Joe's troopers while being unable to get shot by the landspeeders. Even Rex probably would have been better to move into melee and punch and then the Call Me Captain play he would have been unable to be shot but can still add his dice.
Also pass pass pass, if you didn't see a rebel list with 21 acts made top 4 at a larger tourney recently (only made top cut due to another rebel player dropping tho)
Yeah I have a lot to learn
Great game with the pass pass pass mechanics
Thanks for watching
ARC now have scale, so they are unhindered! I think they need the clone commanders in the units to really make them pop.
Yeah those commanders in the arcs are great
Great game as always! The pass, pass, pass option for low activation lists seems like a good low activation count mitigation, however, you really need to play those objectives (still haven't learned them yet 🙂)
Yeah me to
21:18 isn't that a sniper shot from a rebel commando? Rebel sniper have one black and one white dice. You realize this at 36:40
Correct, I correct it just a bit further in the video :) thanks.
-Joe
Pass pass pass! Pass pass paaaaass! It's passing time, you just gotta pass pass pass
Thanks for watching
The gonk droid and the cover 2 pilot make the x-34 surprisingly durable compared to the rest of the rebel unit options
Yeah very much so
That was a lot of Pass Tokens. Though I find Pass Tokens have diminishing returns in later rounds. They are great for making sure an opponent can’t just counter deploy you. But once you get into the thick of it, you’re less inclined to use them.
As to Breakthrough. I find that to be the least favorable mission for both Clones and Droids, unless you specifically build for it. Clones, because it spreads your smaller activation army too thin. And Droids, because you’ll almost certainly overextend for AI or Coordinate.
For both Clones and Droids, I find I prefer Close the Pocket, Bunker Assault, and Intercept Signals. They let the armies fully benefit from their rules. I’d take Recover the Research, but preferably avoid Shifting Priorities and Breakthrough.
Yeah I really need to learn which missions benefit which types of army’s -Don
Pass pass..or I guess if Don Can't beat the clones, he joined em? Haha
Didn’t help
Wrong mission for clones, but good game I think you missed a temped when some arcs died. You dodged some hv shots but it happens good game, I hate seeing Don lose but I love to see Gar lose.
Yeah, that was his first time playing clones and I was so in my head trying to figure out next steps forgot to remind him about HV. Thanks!
-Joe
Wookiees are insane too hit 12 points on turn 3 the other night
Yeah rough
great video! on the clones i think the list was suboptimal. The DC in the big squad in my opinion is wasted 37 points - you want to go face with them (clone commander is for sure the better choice + would allow also the commandos to take hq uplink for order control). also a medic i think in the core is something that every clone army is running, restoring a commando or arc is just so much gas! Close game and well played!
Thanks for watching
Hey, Lord Valdak is me! Yay 501st!
The 501st is fun for sure
So many passes
Thanks for watching!
-Joe
Love the videos guys, always makes me want to play more legion!
That’s the idea
Pass, pass, and pass. Great game, guys. I also won my game today with Rebels. Looking forward to the next game.
Thanks for watching
501st is crazy
They are fun just need to learn them -Don
50:23 all your units would have indomitable permanently as the respective units keep it as long as they were in range 2 when it was played. They don’t need to keep inside range 2.
I will double check that but I don’t believe that is right. Anakin and/or Rex have that ability for the rest of the game but units still need to maintain range two to benefit from it. Thanks!
-Joe
@@graysquadrongaming8670 I was told you were right and I was wrong.
Thank goodness to. That be hard to manage.
I guess my opponents played it wrong into me
@joshuapicaro8726 no worries, always a lot to learn :) thanks for watching!
-Joe
@@graysquadrongaming8670 just so you know when we (I at least) mention rule it’s not to be mean.
For myself I get invested when it feels like a player got the wrong end of a rule mistake and mentioning how I understand the rule in the comments is the best thing I can do to try to prevent it from happening again.
Some channels started posting text on the screen that they got it wrong.
While that prevents rules lawyering I imagine it reduces the comments which I think y’all want right?
@joshuapicaro8726 no offense taken. If we catch the rules mishap before I upload to you tube I can add word saying so. Once the video is live I can’t alter it like that unfortunately. Thanks!
Forgot lethal 1 on that first arc shot on the speeder. Could have killed it in one shot. Haha
Edit: clone commandos sniper is also high velocity.
Couldn’t have killed it due to armor which we talk about shortly after that. Thanks!
-Joe
Very close game! Something something pass pass pass.
Thanks for watching
Han just was too hard to kill today. Even with all those passes.
He seems to have that effect lately
I think there was a time or two when thinking about moving that you forgot that POIs give heavy cover.
Don 100% should have pass pass passed on playing Breakthrough :P
I think we remembered we used it a lot on the side without anakin
Landspeeder still has armor? I don't think y'all cancelled any hits on that first shot?
Armor 2, and keep watching we talk about it shortly :) thanks!
-Joe
14 acts is a lot. Laughs in 22 activations :P Pass, pass, pass, pass, pass.
Haha 22 is just to much
loved the game! although rebel commando sniper is 1B1W not 2B. thanks guys!
I correct it just a bit later in the video :) thanks!
-Joe
@@graysquadrongaming8670 oops didn’t catch that. My bad!
Cool to see a ton of Arcs and Commando's in the game. We getting any games with Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker soon?
I’m sure he will make an appearance soon
Pass pass pass!
Thanks for watching
Great game guys, I too have yet to get a. Pass pass pass
Thanks for watching
Gg bois was rooting for ya don at was alot to deal with
Thanks for watching
I thought recon was range 2? Learned something new
Recon adds scout 1
@@graysquadrongaming8670 my b. The recon mission. It’s range 2 for the scanners.
Ah sorry yes it’s range 2
Wow rebels win. Would not have put money on that
Thanks for watching
I have a clone question.
If I have more then one friendly unit at range 2 and in LOS. Can I use aims, dodge and surges from both or only one?
You can only have share one token max no matter how many units and tokens they have. Thanks for watching!
-Joe
@@graysquadrongaming8670 thank you
Pass pass pass like that Disney fast pass
Thanks for watching
I think gunslinger with up close & personal only gives one dodge now since you’re just adding a target to an attack and not actually attacking twice. Could be wrong though
I believe they confirmed when it came out it’s both attacks
It's two different attacks.
It does give two dodges. Thanks!
-Joe
@@graysquadrongaming8670 Oh thats awesome! Gotta change some lists then. Thank you
No problem:)
Pass, Pass, & Pass
Thanks for watching
How is it that with a 501st list, Don still lost to rebels? He needs to upgrade his luck stat
I really do -Don
Oh no... Rebels vs Republic is bad enough, but 501st. Preemptive pre-watch predicting I'm going to be sad and Rebels will lose.
I had to stop at work and calculate cause I was confused about the calling it. But then realized what you mean.
I haven't had many games with pass tokens. Can you not pass the first turn? I heard a passing remark about being unable to pass at the start of one of the rounds.
We're all learning round 0 and what works for lists. So doing bad on turn 0 isn't surprising. I've never even played Breakthrough but I feel as a Rebel player maybe I should?
I think breakthrough with a activation advantage is good
Where did you guys get that star tours ship? Would like to add one to my games
Joe got them on eBay I believe
Pass pass pass, but are you not allowed to pass on your first turn? It seemed like you implied you couldn’t but I don’t remember if that’s in the rules
We were mistaken you can indeed do that
Not sure if Joe had the fixed front gun positioned on the last landspeeder shot, and Anakin may have missed a Tempted on an Arc trooper death (may have been too far forward by that point). Glad I didnt pass, pass, pass on the video.
I would have forgot about tempted for sure, and possibly but he had the arcs on the speeders in a good spot most of the time
Great game. 501st are so fun to play. I think you may have missed a tempted on Anakin but otherwise played very well with an unfamiliar faction.
Gg
