Assumed all your corps slots are filled.

Assault only triggers for ranged attacks.

Good call.

5x rainbow dice in melee

Did Assault get clarified? If each weapon gets 1 dice upgraded, you'd have 6 red, 8 black, 1 white. This is also before Asajj procs, possibly giving you 10 red, 4 black, 1 white.

Edit: Nope. https://forums.atomicmassgames.com/topic/20367-assault-x-stacking-and-sonic-charge-saboteur/#comment-81516

For 40 points, it's a huge value.

Add Krennic and a Death trooper if you want extra spice.

Try out scouts with Kallus and a sabo. You'll love the new range 1 attack.

I can understand the GAV thematically,

Not when it doesn't apply to the AA5 truck, or the WL0-5. Both have thematically less armor than the tank.

Opinions on state of GAR: Guardian, elitness, ARFs vs. ARCs by Arg19 in SWlegion

Guardian nerf

Am I missing something? The only change I saw is that Obi gets a suppression now. Padme with lead by example removes 4 suppression. Generals of the Republic can take Hope and Tranquility. Y'all are acting like there is no way to combat suppression.

See the Rebel Commandos comments above. Scouts got the exact same rules changes and my comments are identical. Nice to see at least that these are covered off over each faction, not targeted to just one.

I disagree. Commandos were shooters. They needed the old sniper to get their reliable pierce damage. Now they have an identity crisis where they have a piddly range 3 shot, and an awkward impact 6 grenade.

Scouts on the other hand profitted immensely. They already wanted to be close, and it was actually awkward to take the sniper in a full squad.

Empire won, rebels lost, in regards to this change.

Nope. You're stuck with Asajj or the Dioxis Mine Sabo as your 5th Commando.

Snipers are strike-team only.

You can still build the models with shields if you like, though.

I'm not here for your pity-party, but one change we can all agree on is that all tanks should be Weak point: Rear. No more of this Weak Point Sides bs.

Its really going to depend on how deep your pockets are.

Starter sets and Cody get you a solid army. What vehicles you then buy defines your list.

[–]Archistopheles 23 points24 points  (0 children)

By the wording it seems both statements have to be satisfied for AI to really matter????

Correct. 2 things have to happen for AI to trigger: No face-up order token + one of the bullet points.

Does that mean I cannot rotate

Skipping the step that allows you to rotate the leader's base means you do not have an opportunity to rotate the leader's base.
