Star Wars: Legion: Objectives: The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly

Hey guys, we wanted to talk about the objectives and what we thought about them. We get a little candid about what we think about the objectives, but overall, I hope that there are some things that you take away from this, especially in the last 10 min of the video. Let me know what you think and any thoughts on the objectives, as well as some of the objectives you've played and how others can learn from them.

Prepared Position doesn't force you to deploy the unit that way, the wording says "may" not "must". So even though a unit has Prepared Position, you can still deploy it like other units. You obviously forgo the dodge token etc

[@shadowscout0013]

@@paulmurphy5376 I'm pretty happy they made it that way. I just think the units that have it need to take advantage of it and def use it or they won't be able to interact very well as early as needed.

Great video this week! Curious if Marked Targets could potentially be improved scoring wise by placing the marked target in top of a Bounty unit to potentially give you more VPs

[@shadowscout0013]

@@grants565 not sure. I would imagine it could work. It doesn't say it can't be placed on bounty targets

Truth be told... this new mission and deployment structure makes me sad... Rex seems really good in this environment and if he becomes a staple again, I'll probably have to shelve him and look for the next underdog that nobody plays

[@shadowscout0013]

@@paladinsas9078 noooo! You could still use him.. you gotta use him bc you can't just abandon him

[@paladinsas9078]

@@shadowscout0013 I know, and I love me some great Rex play, but I tend to get bored quickly with things that become meta

Regarding Advanced Intel I agree it looks like strongest but, you don't know who will be placing 1st unit on board when deciding to ban it

[@shadowscout0013]

@@darthmoris that's true, but a pass for the first drop could try and help. It might not mean you go first bc then they pass, but there's a possibility. And it truly makes a difference

[@adambrown6498]

Great tips here, but hearing about the bat reps with Luke etc was hard to follow

[@shadowscout0013]

@@adambrown6498 it was commander Luke and the guy I was playing played him defensively and didn't get the chance to do a lot with him. I was able to do some chip damage to him throughout the game and end up taking him out at the end in melee with a strike team. Things would've been different if he played more aggressively with his bus (which was mostly used to block los) and got luke in faster. I'm glad the tips for the rest of the video helped. I hope it wasn't too long to shuck through 😂

[@captaingar9244]

Don’t see why they couldn’t have just made a new system with the original battle cards. Don’t like the area centric only objectives.

[@paladinsas9078]

As... bland as the objectives may be, I appreciate that the design space has been blown wide open, and I'm hopeful that we may see mission packs in the future in a similar vein to how they release missions for shatterpoint

[@shadowscout0013]

@@captaingar9244 it's a lot more difficult for sure and I guess they wanted objectives that all units could score to not leave units out of lists. It's going to change things up a bit, but hopefully we get other types of objectives soon just to mix it up again

[@Vigilante9033]

Man, I really hate this new pass system 😂

[@shadowscout0013]

@@Vigilante9033 not when you get to use it first 🤣. It's helped me in a game and now that's the main advantage I look for every time now 😂

Y’all need to work on the audio issues. There’s a bit at 1:04:43 until 1:06:05 where there’s no audio and for the most part I have to turn you guys up almost to 75-85% volume to properly hear most of you. Good discussion otherwise.

[@shadowscout0013]

@@DaGwimWeaper yea, my earphones died and I didn't see that the audio wasn't recording from the right spot, so I had to be quick to change it. And then the audio on everyone is peaking I the middle of the yellow, so making it louder might be tough. I'll work on it though. Thanks for listening! I'll try to see what I can do

[@inspiredwon2670]

This refreshed version is simply to get people to buy more models, nothing more. Some products are not selling, Dekas, STAPs, AAT, B1s, Rebel Troopers, and others. This was intended to move that stufff, shovel under the meta, add more minis. TBH, the fact that they didn’t release a new starter shows that they are milking the player base for $. It sounds negative but I think it’s a fire sale before they end the line. I hope I’m wrong but IP games have a shelf life and rumor is Legion ain’t selling. Crab droids and Gungans won’t save it. Just my opinion.

[@shadowscout0013]

@@inspiredwon2670 I hope it doesn't fail bc I'm wait to invested in the game. I'm hoping that this game entices some 40k players to get more involved. But I can understand that theyve had some bad times and need to make money, so forcing change in the game will force people to buy more units to have the numbers. Let's hope it's not all for nothing
