Swingy dice aren’t real that can’t hurt you. Swingy dice this video. Great game guys!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Tell Don that lol. Thanks for watching.
-Joe

[@ThePkk9278]

Good game. Iden and two bounties is one of my favorite lists. Swingy dice though.
Don, next time, bring the bikes up behind the buses.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

That’s a good idea. Thanks for watching!
-Joe

[@kingbobb007]

The thing about swingy dice is that you still have to put your units in position to roll them in the first place.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching

[@NicholasDixon502]

Swingy dice do indeed giveth and taketh away. Can't believe the momentum changed like that. Great game!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching

[@shadowscout0013]

Man! That was some swingy dice at the end. It was a swingy game too with that back and forth. Def a great game to watch!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching

[@jesperkjr]

Great game, I thought the Shadow Collective had this one in the bag - until the swingy dice took the victory away!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching!
-Joe

[@zackduncan5219]

Swingy dice are the best because they always seem to swing when the salt starts to flow lol

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

That is very true. Thanks!
-Joe

[@benr1956]

Loved it guys! Keep doing what you’re doing!
Swingy dice 😉

[@derrickford1101]

Can't wait for the summer cup. Enjoyed all the swinger dice

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

It’s coming real soon! Thanks for watching!
-Joe

[@mythicgames7683]

Those were some swingy dice. Fun game, always like seeing bounty hunters on the channel.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah for real

[@PAPAxHEAVY]

Swingy dice created a chaotic game! I think IG's biggest contribution was tanking that first Black Sun hit. He might not have done a lot of damage, but he got to stay in an extra round and take out the bikes. Very entertaining game as always!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah he did have an extra turn for sure

[@BlakeDiesel]

Hope everyone had a great may the fourth! Can’t wait to see all the swingy dice during the Spring Cup!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching

[@Charly-el]

What a game! Everyone just crammed into one corner holding to dear life with those swingy dice

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching!
-Joe

[@joshuapicaro8726]

20:34 Boba gets the extra black dice on rule with respect turn because his face is set face down after he activates
Perhaps he would have had more swingy dice that way.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Correct! Thanks for watching!
-Joe

[@GoldenVapor25]

Great to see some Iden action, my favorite unit! Good game with some swingy dice:)

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

She is good

[@travisskane5459]

Swingy Dice or not, I swear you have more symbols painted on them then the ones I play with. 😆 Thanks for another quality upload!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Sometimes I think Joe has special dice haha

[@hbalcer]

It's fun to watch games with swinging dice rolls. My last few have been one sided for our against me.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching

[@grants565]

Definitely had me on my toes with the swingy dice this week! Nice to see Joe have a bit of a salt lick with the empire units let down at times

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Haha right

[@JayOttawa]

That was a bloody game! Even with swingy dice it was entertaining as always. Thanks guys!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

For sure

[@davidluke6015]

I haven't seen such swingy dice in a while! Fun game, and neat to see Joe playing Empire! Red defense dice are your friend!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching

[@DsHowe24]

Few weeks behind, so I’m just seeing these swingy dice! Great video!

Swingy dice indeed! Really thought shadow collective had it in the first two rounds.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching!
-Joe

[@Goldmace]

This game swung right round, baby right round - like a dice roll baby right round right round
Good game and fun lists!

dice were swinging like austin powers! GG!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching

[@CCAbridged]

*Evil swingy dice noises* I think your IG dice were like my Luke defense dice. I had a game with Operative Luke where he rolled 5 blanks two turns in a row -_-
I swear this channel makes me want to get more Legion games in. I need to bully my friend more into more games. We haven't played in so long. Of course I also need to get a party bus and some swoops still. Two units I'm missing that look fun and you show them both off! *shakes fist*
I really like those red black suns.
Oh wow that foil Iden command card is beautiful!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for the comment I like my alternate color black suns so thanks! -Don

[@atleymiller6181]

Man those swinging dice. This list makes me want to try my new bus very soon.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Swingy dice indeed. Felt so sure the Shadow Collective were going to take that then it just flipped. Great game as always chaps.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

[@JamesWhite-jr9uy]

Those swingy dice make things quite unpredictable. It is always fun to watch a game where the outcome is a bit unpredictable.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah definitely

Swingy Dice do what swingy dice do. Shame IG was rolling about as good as B1’s 😂

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah it was solid

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

congratulations you have won the lying in wait foil card, please contact us on our socials and we will get that shipped out

[@holgerptacek3144]

Great game as always. I was very eager to see a double-bus-three-swoop-bikes-list! It was really only (bad) luck that IG-88 could withstand the alpa strike. Curse of the swinging dice! (And my Boba rolls every time only blanks as defense.)

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah it did lead to big swings

[@TristanBiffert]

swingy dice. Great battle rep as always.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching

[@ironjoebob7]

Insanely swingy dice for sure this time. Love the videos. Look forward to it every Sunday. The IG droids have always felt disappointing to me. The one command card came in clutch for him to not die until end of turn.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah that isnhelpful

[@HiHello-kl2ye]

Those dice be swinging, but great game i always love it when i see the discord notification of a new vid

-Joe

[@travislloyd1333]

Not sure if it was said, but Boba gets his extra black dice from his 3 pip as well on that turn. so that shot into bikes was missing a black:) Believe you rolled 5 instead of 6.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Well darn lol, thanks for watching!
-Joe

[@brendangordon7818]

The dice were definitely swingy dice… Good watch regardless!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

[@SebboRex]

The swingy dice were absolutely out of this world... they were maybe more likely in a galaxy far far away

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Something like that for sure

Another great game swings Joe's way. Good game guys.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching

[@Crhughes]

1. Joe begins a point about how he’s getting unlucky with dice
2. Joe gets lucky with dice
3. Joe wins game
The tried and true formula lol. Just remember, if you take away the swingy dice we’d just be playing chess

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah chess sounds nice some times

[@AspireSeries48]

Swing dice makes for a fun game though!

Dice do be swingy sometimes. The dice giveth and the dice taketh away.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching

[@carloluigid2104]

Don, the way you softly repeated Joe's "native" at around 14:19 had me howling!
And now for for keyword funtimes, I find that swingy dice have always been my thing, but unfortunately it always starts with brutally bad rolls that swing to amazing rolls when the game is well and truly decided.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Haha thanks

[@bwild7859]

Bossk is my favorite 🤌🏼love the card!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

He is solid

I feel the pain from the swingy dice especially when I play Asoiaf

[@anthoniestrada3252]

Why did he give an aim to Bossk? Unorthodox states that it’s just aim? Otherwise great game ! Love the content ! (Edit y’all did check the card - but Jesus what a swing lol)

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah I thought it was aim or dodge I was mistaken

[@anthoniestrada3252]

@@graysquadrongaming8670 all good my initial though was “man I didn’t think you could take shriv in SC” - great content !

[@johns9325]

I enjoyed this game. How doe Joe feel about Empire? Did he have to take a bath in bleach after the game? 😂 I try to have no expectations about swingy dice. It happens or it doesn't.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Don’t tell anyone, but secretly Joe would be an empire player, his play style is empire. He just can’t be the “bad guys” so he plays rebels -Don

Thanks for watching

[@babelfish666]

The swing dice were fun, but it feels like the key reason Bossk is worse than the other hunters. Out of interest, can the unorthodox tactician bus not give an aim to itself? Does it count as being at range 1 of itself?

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

I believe it says another so it can’t do itself

I really thought Demoralize 5 would have more impact in this game. Did you guys miss any, or were the vehicles just not really in Range 2?

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Might have missed 1 but not a lot of opportunities
