The changes for Rebels and the addition of Sleeper Cell have really helped Rebels, and they needed it. But hot dice versus not hot dice will decide the game, almost every time. Great video, as always!
Almost seems to be the main word with Legion games. "That clone unit ALMOST survived", "I can ALMOST move Cassian into scoring". We all have the "almost" moments, and they keep us coming back for more. Great game!
I am a rebel player. I've won a lot under the new rules, but, most of my victories if the game would have went another round I would have been basically wiped. Win 10-9 on turn 5, but if we went to turn 6 it would be like 11-12. Or win 12-10 on turn 4, but it would be 12-13 at the end of 5. All my ties would be loses on kill points.
This is an accurate description, and if you think about it, its thematic. A bunch of squishy figures lead by their heroes trying to accomplish their mission at the last possible second.
Almost is a good word for that one. Those first two rounds were brutal for the shadow collective, but they had a little burst of life that third round. I'm looking forward to the next one. Keep up the great work!
This is why we love you Don lol - “Rook needs an extra health”…she has it and should have lived. More importantly, the scanner holder mandos should have survived the Ewoks keeping the score 3-3 which ALMOST was about to cost Don the game until IG made it a moot point.
@@graysquadrongaming8670 I understand that rule, but perosnaly we would play that with barriers/barrels etc. But a Building especialy one with levels should count as cover in my opinion.
Rebels landed on their feet, which is good. At the start of 2.6 a lot of people were claiming Rebels to be bottom shelf. Good stuff and well played both of you. Sorry about Maul. I'm SURE it's not just Don struggling with him.
I like your battle reports very much. One reason is that your are very good with the rules. This time I’m a little bit confused with some dice rolls and resolutions. At 20:25 the rebels hat 10 hits and a crit. The Mandos made their cover roll with 12 white dice? At 36:05 the oversized bear squad got 8 hits with pierce 1. The Mandos rolled 4 blocks and 2 surges becoming blocks. Minus 1 for pierce makes 5 blocks total. 8 hits minus 5 blocks doesn‘t wipe a 4 Mando unit, does it? Was it almost correct?
Your correct both of those were errors. On the cover roll I must have miscounted the dice when picking them up so that was an error, then on the bear attack I didn’t do the impervious math correctly and should have lived with one health as the squad was full
Thank you, I use Vallejo brown earth texture on my bases. I just used a little of that on the bus also took different shades of browns on a sponge and dabbed until I got the effect I wanted. Thanks! -Joe
Great game! I think SC Mando's are the best Mando's, not sure spamming them with Maul gives you enough wiggle to do what you need to. Maybe Gar Saxon instead of Maul and drop Rook for Marksman heavy and swap the naked Pykes for more Black Suns.
Ouch. I feel like “almost” comes up a lot for you guys. You both play really well, but then something brutal happens and everything spirals. Though there was at least some back and forth this time.
Almost looked promising in that last round for the comeback. I do think Rook could use a little boost in some way, free tokens from being near Maul is ok, the extra health is real nice but the offensive profile is a side-grade at best, and I would even say compared to the Marksman and his having both range 3 and giving the unit precise, she is kinda a downgrade. The alpha strike capability with marksmen and rockets seems pretty important and you lose a great deal of potency with that if you take Rook or the gunslinger (or the regular extra dude). Into the Fray feels pretty important for Maul, don't know where those points would have come from but I think they would have helped him a bit. I also suppose force choke advocates would also be pointing at that 1 hp sleeper unit for their reasons it is a must take on Maul.
@graysquadrongaming8670 was funny hearing you guys talk about her at the end being like "man it's just not worth for 35 points. Maybe if she had 2 health or something" 😂
Every time I watch I've watched the Rebel Vs ___ games lately, it almost makes me go to ebay and buy a Rebel lot and then pick up some sleepers. Great game even though SC folded in round three.
You almost get the feeling that you guys should start a poker playing channel! It is so hard to gauge the actual state of the battle with all the whining between the swingy dice rolls - you could almost bluff any pro poker player 😂
Ouch, we try not too and will make sure to do better in the future. The one thing I will say if you play any war game with dice then you should be able to relate :) -Joe
I seriously hate sleeper cell. They are just so ridiculous for their points. I’m not mad at it, I just know I’m in trouble when I see them across the table.
I knew this video was gonna be awesome not just cause of the lists but how Don told Joe “he’s one more” and then telling us something that we didn’t know. I really wish more Shadow Collective gets added into the game I think they are really kewl! Those first couple rounds were almost a massacre but happy to see it ended up being a good fight. I hope you don’t mind me asking but what paint did you use for that Bus? The grey looks gorgeous.

That’s very true

It’s very true
Rebels always seem to be all about if they can hold out and be *almost* dead, but not quite.
That is something they do well

Yeah it was rough
Some of those rolls! Almost record breaking!
Something like that
This is why we love you Don lol - “Rook needs an extra health”…she has it and should have lived. More importantly, the scanner holder mandos should have survived the Ewoks keeping the score 3-3 which ALMOST was about to cost Don the game until IG made it a moot point.
Funny thing I asked him twice “doesn’t she have two health” and he said “nope” lol. Thanks!
-Joe
Amazing haha. Also she’s the leader which helps explain the points…the other heavies go down with 3 wounds, she’s 5
This game of almosts was really fun to watch!
Sure was
41:40, that should be cover. Surly
As we have played if your touching the same cover you don’t get cover.
@@graysquadrongaming8670 I understand that rule, but perosnaly we would play that with barriers/barrels etc. But a Building especialy one with levels should count as cover in my opinion.
Them fuzzy bears did some work. Rebels for the win, love it.
Thanks for watching
That was almost a close match. Good game.
Thanks for watching
Loved the reminder that astros can fix ig11 and k2s0. Kind of dig Jyn she’s in my next list.
She needs a little help but she is always a pain for me
Rebels landed on their feet, which is good. At the start of 2.6 a lot of people were claiming Rebels to be bottom shelf. Good stuff and well played both of you.
Sorry about Maul. I'm SURE it's not just Don struggling with him.
Haha I hope it’s not just me

Don is real good at match as you can see ;) thanks!
-Joe
Those ewoks really dished out the damage to those mandos. Might need some of those, lol
They sure did
I was curious how this was going to go. almost is the perfect word to explain how things went for this game.
Yeah for sure
Thanks for watching!
-Joe
Almost dead rebels are when they are the most dangerous, because they have nothing left to lose.
Thanks for watching
That was a great comeback push turn 3! Almost a comeback
Almost
My friend Thunderbound loves the black suns. I almost lose my mind when they come out. I’ve lost too many units to one-shot from them at this point 😂
They hit hard
I love your paint jobs. Also, how did you get the dirt texture on the A-A5 Speeder truck? Very fun detail.
Thank you, I use Vallejo brown earth texture on my bases. I just used a little of that on the bus also took different shades of browns on a sponge and dabbed until I got the effect I wanted. Thanks!
-Joe
O.o where did you guys get the smoke plumes for your Super Commandos? I definitely need to order some of those.
I forget the name of the store but it was a download STL on Etsy that I printed. Thanks.
-Joe
Shadow collective almost showed up to fight.
Thanks for watching
Great game! I think SC Mando's are the best Mando's, not sure spamming them with Maul gives you enough wiggle to do what you need to. Maybe Gar Saxon instead of Maul and drop Rook for Marksman heavy and swap the naked Pykes for more Black Suns.
Yeah i just wanted to do something different. Have to do different stuff so people keep watching haha -Don
@graysquadrongaming8670 yeah trying things out to see how good they are together is never a bad idea and makes for good content 😁
@shaunkrogulski9619 we try to mix it up
Rook has 2 wounds... i think you pulled her off early
He did, you are correct. Thanks!
-Joe
Don sounds almost salty for the dice rolls.
Sometimes
Ouch. I feel like “almost” comes up a lot for you guys. You both play really well, but then something brutal happens and everything spirals. Though there was at least some back and forth this time.
The last game was also a good one. Thanks!
-Joe
Definitely. You guys make great content!
It’s the almost games that make them so good. Hoping the second half of the 2.6 refresh touches some of what SC is struggling with at the moment
Yeah for sure
Almost, buddy. Almost...
Anyways, fun game. Great batrep.
Thanks for watching
Almost only counts for horseshoes and frag grenades!
Thanks for watching

That is true it would have helped maul to have those
Dont forget rook has 2 health. Almost might have mattered. She would have survived that ig11 shot
Yeah I did forget
@graysquadrongaming8670 was funny hearing you guys talk about her at the end being like "man it's just not worth for 35 points. Maybe if she had 2 health or something" 😂
@ironjoebob7 yeah I realized when I was putting the cards away after and new the comments would be coming haha
the shadow collective did, like the movies, almost a win. they started strong until the heroes came in play
Haha thanks for watching
Every time I watch I've watched the Rebel Vs ___ games lately, it almost makes me go to ebay and buy a Rebel lot and then pick up some sleepers. Great game even though SC folded in round three.
Yeah rebels feel solid in the new legion
Wee ned 1 more round In games xD for finiš another armies😅❤
Thanks for watching
I would like to think SC is Almost ok but it's not
Mando's need a 4 normal trooper in this edition
Commando shields are overcosted
They are good
I ALMOST had hope that a new upload from GSG would somehow play out different than so many other battle reports. Sad #TeamDon noises.
Thanks for the support -Don
Did you see the last episode :)
Ig-11 should have only almost killed Rook's unit instead of fully killed her.
We realized that afterword
Almost a great comeback. Was not looking good after round 2.
Almost
It's a good thing I didn't make the use of the word "almost" into a drinking game for this video. I would be dead.
Haha we should have had a warning

The die fast, out range them before they get close and you will be ok. Thanks!
-Joe
If you can’t hit them before they hit you, it’s trouble for sure
I knew this video was gonna be awesome not just cause of the lists but how Don told Joe “he’s one more” and then telling us something that we didn’t know.

It’s been a while, but if I remember, it was a partial mix of Vallejo deck, tan, and Vallejo game color gray blue. Thanks as always for watching.
-Joe
Almost
That’s for watching
Die you forget surge to def on that ewok attack vs the mandos 🤔
Mandos are still wayyyy to expensive
I don’t think I would have forgotten that
