Welp - it looks like I misread the Ewok merc requirements and it actually says they DO count as opposed to Don't Count - remember everyone - Reading is a good thing! =P
They just write that to counter the general mercenary rule (max 1 per rank, does not fill min requirement, etc), but it's pretty confusing how they write it. Bright Tree Village if their 11th army list, weird how thin they spread themselves with the few units they have.
High activations is all well and good, but if you're going to struggle with dealing out the damage, this is going to be a very difficult faction to win with. Let's see how these guys go when they're on the table and after an FAQ to clarify with wording and what the designers intended
I really dont like how they desighned this, so many strange things, like Leia needing to have underworld connections to allow her ally to work, and then outright making it impossible to run a pure ewok force, and making it possible to run a pure rebel list is just wrong for this battleforce, really hope they fix it up, also really hope we see the catapults from the movie, it would be nice to get some primitive artillery
A Bright Tree Village Battle Force is part of the Rebel Alliance faction. So she can issue orders. And you can run it with only ewoks. Why not? Edit: I see why not :P
@@joshuapicaro8726 which should be how it works in the rebel army, but NOT in a battleforce that represents a a single battle, where they worked together
16:45 "DO count". you misread it. you can take as many mercenaries as you want, and they fulfill your requirements. so that means you could take 6 Ewok core and 2 rebel special forces
In fact I don’t think that the teamwork command card of Leia and Wicket will be used with underworld connections. Because Wicket has the independent : dodge 1 keyword, he definitely don’t want to get orders and I think the card is meant to work like this. In addition, with teamwork, Leia will recieve the dodge as well.
I think that command card can be used without underworld connections when you run the Ewok battle force, if u design ur own custom force THEN Leia will need underworld connections. That's how I interpret it
They ruled it that you must have underworld connections to issue the order to wicket, which is silly. If an order card specifically gives an order to a named unit, it should bypass affiliation
2:57: I find Logray to be really great actually. He can generate 18 tokens in game for his men and he has courage3. With C-3PO this makes suppression a much smaller issue.
oooo i've been refreshing your channel for days for this video haha. I can't wait for these murder bears, I preordered 5 units of them. What has my life become! *looks over at his stack of shame still in boxes unpainted*
the battle force looks amazing and funny... very tematic, like it's hard to imagine them outside of theyr story box but cool to play i guess!! incognito on an ATST ? yooo that's so tematic! love it
I love Ewaks but honestly not really interested unless they expand more give them the catapult and gliders. But they just don’t fit well in the legion.
I'm curious on why that command card has an arrow and not an "X" if it's a one-use upgrade. You also mentioned that "Support" units are not available yet upto 2 units are allowed in the Battleforce. I will hold off on getting any Ewok stuff (The AT-AT is going Imperial.)
I am not a huge fan of the at-st having flat incognito that is ripe for abuse. I think giving it incognito for a few turns would have been enough. I agree that the Wicket and Liea card not being able to give Wicket an order is really strange. We will see how it plays out in the meta as I am sure there will be a bunch of Ewoks players at least initially.
3:20- Oh, I kinda thought this video (because of how it’s worded and obviously because of how my brain works) was about some terrain box or box set that they may have just announced. Or something I missed the videos on! Too bad. I really think the smartest thing that the company that owns Legion can and should do is start coming out with boxes of terrain. And inside each box they come out with have specific rules for that terrain and a new game style. Kinda like they did with that last terrain box they came out with (but that was just one piece). And C-3POs card………… Um, I’ll be nice and just leave it there
They tried that. It was wildly panned because of the cost. In a world of better terrain options, you can't release hundred dollar pieces of terrain. No one cares.
@@ScooterinAB yeah, that is true. Unless they matched the quality of theirs to the best ones. But one other problem is people with 3D printers. Their not going to buy a $100 box of terrain when they can print a full table of terrain for $40!!!
I'm starting to feel the same, which makes me sad. As soon as I started thinking about Legion, the first thing to come to mine was Ewoks. But they are so restricted and seem so underwhelming that I don't know if I'll even bother. I'd like a pure Ewok army. I'd like more freedom when playing Ewoks. More and more, these battle forces are just "here's your prebuilt army" and less about theme.

Because the are a mercenary affiliation.
@@joshuapicaro8726 which should be how it works in the rebel army, but NOT in a battleforce that represents a a single battle, where they worked together
Honestly, the easy fix would be to say: if a command card specifically calls out a named unit, in this case Wicket, then affiliation doesn't matter.
16:45 "DO count". you misread it. you can take as many mercenaries as you want, and they fulfill your requirements. so that means you could take 6 Ewok core and 2 rebel special forces
Ha ha nice catch - I think my eyes were just used to the typical wording of how it used to be.
The rules say that cards override rules, so I don’t understand why Leia would need underworld connections to play with her murder bear.
Yeah, they should have just said if an order card calls out a specifically named unit, affiliation doesn't matter
The rule says they do count towards minimums if you reread it.
How many times can a person read and highlight the same sentence and constantly add a word that isn't there? Sheesh!
In fact I don’t think that the teamwork command card of Leia and Wicket will be used with underworld connections. Because Wicket has the independent : dodge 1 keyword, he definitely don’t want to get orders and I think the card is meant to work like this. In addition, with teamwork, Leia will recieve the dodge as well.
As soon as i have the funds these guys are definitely on my shopping list.
Man, I overlooked this and love Chewy
I think that command card can be used without underworld connections when you run the Ewok battle force, if u design ur own custom force THEN Leia will need underworld connections. That's how I interpret it
I think this is correct...in a rebel faction list you would need UC...in a BTV battle force you can use it without UC
They ruled it that you must have underworld connections to issue the order to wicket, which is silly.
If an order card specifically gives an order to a named unit, it should bypass affiliation
They just look fun to play. Might actually convince me to buy into some Rebels
my wife does not play and likely never will but i have been informed im getting this battle force and the shatter point ewoks when they come out :)
Definitely interested to run as my second force. Definitely got a lot of movement shinanigans
2:57: I find Logray to be really great actually. He can generate 18 tokens in game for his men and he has courage3. With C-3PO this makes suppression a much smaller issue.
I'm still on the fence about getting Ewoks, but I love the log trap card.
Once the force is with me and I can afford it, I'm definitely getting these lil murder bears...
oooo i've been refreshing your channel for days for this video haha. I can't wait for these murder bears, I preordered 5 units of them. What has my life become! *looks over at his stack of shame still in boxes unpainted*
I’d have liked that you could run an only ewoks list
So Logrqy has a higher courage value than Rex and Cody?
Yop… and Wicket has the same health value than Rex and Cody (lol)
Suicidal, religious myrder-bear has no fears. His god is with him.
Don’t forget that there are two heavy slots as well. What could be the potential heavy other than the AT-ST?
Catapult
the battle force looks amazing and funny... very tematic, like it's hard to imagine them outside of theyr story box but cool to play i guess!! incognito on an ATST ? yooo that's so tematic! love it

I KNEW the log traps were coming!!! Woohooooo! I’m all in!

I absolutely love it.😊
Love Chewie in the AT-ST.
So you can use the Merc Speeder Bikes?
If you have the axe and play arboreal assault wouldn't the whole unit have immobilize 2?
“…set those little furry devils on fire.” 😂
They seem interesting.
Not sure how i feel about Crabbok wanting to apply flamethrowers to Ewoks...
How many can be picked for X can it be full group
So is all the text under Leias card permanent? Wouldn’t that allow her to issue an order to Wicket? I guess I still don’t get it
Yes if he is within range one, but it would be the permanent effect, rather than the order issued on the card, which is a bit silly
Any word on an Imperial battleforce for Endor?
Besides imperial remnants and blizzard force?
@@yeetus_reetus_deeleetus Ah, sorry, I meant “for Endor”
@@AidzWithAZ ah shoot, I forgot about that one!
We got Ewoks & Ewok Battle Force but not clone commandos or Galactic Marines? 😢
We need some blurgs from the Ewok Adventure films.

My wife is a “teddy bear “ hater
Give an ewok a fire and it will be warm for a day. Set an ewok on fire and it will be warm for a lifetime.
I'm still not impressed with the Ewoks... The more I see the less I want them... So sad..
