Great video! A couple things I've noticed that can be worked on (since you asked): 1: The ARC trooper's DC-15x lost Critical, not lethal. You can still get pierce with that. 2: The TX-130 Twin Laser Turret also has Critical one, so when firing with the main cannon and the turret you have Critical 2. 3: Impact only applies when attacking a unit with the Armor key word. 4: When you get the "Weapon Disrupted" vehicle damage token you can only use half the dice, but it lets you choose which of the dice are dropped. That means you can keep both red and a black instead of needing to take one of each color. Just want to emphasize again that I've really been enjoying your channel (mostly the legion stuff, lol). Hope this helps a little!
The important distinction is that "card abilities" happen AFTER dodge/cover. So it's: 1) Convert Surges 2) Apply Dodge/Cover 3) Attacker modifies attack dice with card abilities (like impact) 3b) Defender modifies attack dice with card abilities. 4) Roll defense dice
@@EdgeOfEnding Like I mentioned, Impact keyword is an example of the importance of order. You only convert hits into crits with Impact during the "attacker modifies attack dice with abilities" phase; therefore, you could lose all your initial hits through cover/dodge, leaving you unable to convert Impact crits later.
great reports coming out on legion. i wouldnt worry too much on getting the rules 100%. there are very few if any who have it 100%. its a tough game starting out on it - im enjoying each of the reports so far including the skirmish the other day. would love to see these being kept up. happy new year to all at guerrila miniature games
Also for a rules reference when you have impact x when you shoot units that don't have armor like the droids troopers at 16:34 in the video you dont change hits to crits they remain hits......
33:28. Unless there was some upgrade I didn’t notice, droideka’s are not droid troopers, so they cannot be chain ordered by a B1, (but they can be ordered by Super Tactical Droid because they have AI)
One thing I highly suggest with the vehicle bases is to lightly hit each side of the opening on the base with a file to open it up. Makes measuring movement for vehicles/weapon crews so much easier when they don't stick to the movement tool.
That "it's beginning to look a lot like Wookmas" musical quip gave me PTSD flashbacks of the Star Wars Holiday Special, Ash. Why? Why would you do this?
You keep making impact work against everything ^^ Only armor ash, also the tank can't use other clones tokens, only clone trooper units can share tokens. great game regardless, keep em coming :)
Impact was played incorrectly, you convert hits to crits when attacking something with the armor keyword, so it would work versus the B2's but thats it.
>Whenever there are minis that are not in base contact with an enemy mini but those minis have a melee weapon and the unit to which they belong is in a melee, those minis must be placed in base contact with an enemy mini in the same melee as their unit if possible. This can happen when minis in a melee suffer wounds and are defeated, creating space for other minis that were not previously in base contact to be placed in base contact.
@ 8:40 you could have used orbital strike as it is range 4 and over. As the unit was at range 4 (closest figure) then it could have been used against them. Range is from unit leader to closest figure in enemy unit. Condition was met to use it. @52 mins, Rex should not of been able to use his 'Stand by' as he was shot at earlier so should have lost it. (I think)
Same old GMG tricks. Like ignoring Sharpshooter 1 from the BX's... he really needs to focus on learning how to play a couple of systems properly than a bunch of systems poorly.
Love the battle reports you are doing but would be more enjoyable if you read through the rules reference guide. Need to look over the order of operations for attacks, when keywords apply, using the move tool correctly, and knowing you cannot engaged two (2) units at the same time (you are not able to perform that move regardless of the unit). At the end of the game, you tally the units you have destroyed, not what is left on the table. The ARC-trooper DC-15x DID NOT lose lethal, it lost critical.
Ash, I apprietiate that You started Legion batreps and I support that initiative but PLEASE take your time to slowly and carefully read the rules reference. This content would be so much better if you do that :) Cheers!
Halfway through Round 1, Orbital Strike has been played wrong (it's Range 4 to Infinite, not Range 4 is too close -_-), Droid player has a stack half the size of his army, BX's had their Sharpshooter ignored, and the Wookies are getting Area Terrain from a big ass rock they're nowhere near? We have Droids dodging while behind massive LoS-blocking Cover on Recover the Supplies? And in true GMG fashion, comments are saying Ash scammed the win despite losing? I think I'm good.

From the rulebook:
4c. Convert Attack Surges
5. Apply Dodge and Cover
Surges don't ignore dodge or cover.
yup. we played this wrong for about 3 months when the game first came out. haha
The important distinction is that "card abilities" happen AFTER dodge/cover. So it's:
1) Convert Surges
2) Apply Dodge/Cover
3) Attacker modifies attack dice with card abilities (like impact)
3b) Defender modifies attack dice with card abilities.

@@ghostmutton do you have an example of cards with such abilities?

@@ghostmutton That l know, was mainly thinking of the claim "surges ignores/applies after dodges/cover.

A nice immersive looking table really does make a big difference. The mat and the terrain blended great.
Great to see more Legion content up! Keep at it and I can’t wait for more!

48:23 you guys forgot the weakpoint when shooting at the tank with droidekas
Surges are before removing dice from cover and dodges.. So you can block surges with cover and dodge (unless your surge to crit)
omg so much better than lol WH 40k...please do more of these...

Veteran Clone Pilot does let the tank share tokens, but yes we do figure out the order of operations for converting :)
We want more legion videos please!

Tell me Ash wasn't Impact-ing through Cover...
@@Harleqyin no but on a few occasions when the Saber shot at the Magnaguards he was converting hits to crits
That was a bare knuckle slobberknocker.

Good stuff, really enjoyed this game.
Nice.
yes. more. MORE. MOAR!
since Rex died the objective marker that he was claiming is no longer claimed therefore the other guy should have won.

Hell yea! Keep these coming. A few mistakes but something you can learn from
Change factions and give us mooooore! Love this batreps
We're working on it! Just started in October and almost have all the CIS stuff, going to move to empire next!!
You convert surges before cover.
yeah cool table and nice minis but boys, remember the rules ;)
impact trigger after cover and agianst armor keyword. surges converted bevore cover =)
This is a good remember. I will do it. Or I will try real hard....we have played a game since where I oopsed it.
BEAUTIFUL board. What mat are you using?
Where are the buildings from?
five saves! *rolls 4 dice* lol

Where did you get your terrain? I love the rocks and would like some for my table.
Home made! Just layer blue foam but you can buy custom ones from Greenleaf Terrain!
nice
ash your still doin impact wrong but i assume you have been told
Ash, I apprietiate that You started Legion batreps and I support that initiative but PLEASE take your time to slowly and carefully read the rules reference. This content would be so much better if you do that :)

This game would have been AWESOME if 3 random units of jawas were trying to steal the supplies and they had to be shot off the board!!!!!
should only be 5 b2s
Brought to you via shaky cam.
man, you really should have looked at the arc's card before playing lol. You made many different rule mistakes with them less then 2 rounds in
