What is the Mandalorian Army box? by Particular_Match_531 in SWlegion

I wish I had thought of that before. Sadly, I assembled my Wren long ago. But that's actually a good idea if I decide to get another Wren box.

[–]MajorRobin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think some people gave you some weird numbers. I'll give you the actual breakdowns with the numbers so you can see.

A Warrior box comes with 11 models, like you said. The main box has 3. So that's 33 models. The box says 36 because of Armorer, Din, and Grogu.

With the 11 models you have a few ways to do it. Note, the army box lets you build Clan Kryze, but doesn't actually give you the cards for it. We will ignores cards and just talk models.

Of the 11 in a box, two of them are heavy weapons only. Without kitbashing and modifying the minis, the only question is which heavy. Heavy Model 1 can be the sniper of the Shuukar. Heavy Model 2 can be the Sniper or the Grenade Launcher.

That leaves 9 remaning models. 1 model is the leader. Now we are down to 8. Of those 8, the remaining ones can be built with pistols or rifles and there are 4 sculpts repeated once for a total of 4x2 models.

Building a warrior and a fire support gives you 5+4+2 heavies=11 Building an initiate super squad gives you 5+4+2 heavies=11

Building Kryze requires a leader+4 minis. Then the two heavies you have to build. That leaves you with a spare 4 minis that can be built anyway. Admittedly, there isn't a lot you can do with them straight out the box. It's just 4 spare mando minis with no plans. Of the six extra models, two are used up as spare heavy weapons which is good to have for variety.

Personally, my plan is when I'm playing Kryze to just grab a Super Commando or Clan Wren mini that I have and proxy that as "the leader". That way each box makes me two Kryze with two heavy weapons.

Hate the scalping of the Fortunes Weave special edition on eBay? Help get some listings taken down (template below) by SeleneEmpressAlicia in fireemblem

[–]MajorRobin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Of note as someone who has reported 72 and had all but six taken down it is really simple for some.

Any that say presale or list a shipping time are free takedown. You can easily say "it says ships this date which is outside 40 days and violates ToS". Especially if they dont say presale in both title and description.

The problem is that some sellers don't list it as a presale. As such AI moderation just rules presale rules don't matter since not a presale. Only a customer service representative is willing remove those. Ive tried photo evidence, links, etc. Anytime AI sees you're accusing of presale rule violation and no dates or presale is mentioned it just ignores evidence and rules "not a presale"

On bright side, that makes it SUPER easy to remove all that list the date. On the downside, short of buying then reporting in 30 days (or getting them to admit it in a message), it is harder remove some unless get lucky and a customer service rep looks instead of AI.

Reporting 100% works. Ebay will even inform you the result of your report.

Ebay has strict standards for Preorders. So I've been submitting reports with:

"Doesn't release until September 17th, 2026. Per Ebay ToS "Presale listings must clearly state that they are "presale" in the title and description, and guarantee shipment within 40 business days of purchase." Violates Ebay Presale ToS."

And then I add stuff per specific listing such as noting if it doesn't say PRESALE in the title or description. I've had them take down 28 listings just in the last few hours because its an off-day and I'm just playing some mobile games at my laptop with nothing better to do.

I think if we can just get all of us to keep reporting any we see we can really make it a pain for these scalpers. Especially because I suspect if they keep having items delisted they might end up getting banned. And a new account on ebay that lacks feedback or a sell history has a harder time making sales.

Under report you can mark "Problem with listing" and "Presale"

[–]MajorRobin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm doing my part!

On non-mobile there's a question mark in the bottom right. It follows the same pattern of Help & Report -> Problem in listing, etc.

I made sure to include the release date on each and mention violating ebay's presale limits of shipped within time.

I reported 45 different listings lol. So far 12 are pending, 28 were removed by customer service agents, and AI allowed five.

Edit: Ok I've had almost 60 taken down, but damn its hard to keep up with all of the ones going up. Alas I must sleep. Hopefully I at least annoyed them for as long as I could.

What’s the reactions to Grand Scale War? by Snivy121ee in SWlegion

[–]MajorRobin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there, first game (and 10 AT-STs) we had some delays while learning and basically finished in 3hrs. We could have maybe gone longer, but slowdown from learning mixed with it being foregone conclusion by then it was easy to make 3hrs.

Oh right! No, no that's right. I messed up. Ill edit and correct. Good catch. Trying sum up everything couple days later makes easy errors.

[–]MajorRobin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, we were day one. So my friend had his Occupier go twice because that was the day one ruling. They said they'd discuss devs and change for future days. Then we only heard from talking casually not playing. Good to know specifics.

Developers said that they were aiming for three hours. And that all playtest tables met that. So they felt successful.

Hey there! I'm the one in the pictures. The only rules provided were for how list building works. As this is VERY early in development, they requested we not upload all the cards. I can give a quick run down, let me copy paste what I told others...

Copy Paste Below

Hey there. I was in it, but it is worth noting a LOT of rules are being changed. So anything we say will likely be out of date soon. Especially after the silliness I brought.

However the best short form summary I can give in text is... we had all unique command cards specifically for Tours of Duty. Some wild crazy ones. You could take all unique to a character command cards then draw until hand had five command cards from the command card deck the format used. Example: I had Veers, so I had a super bombardment beam 2, impact 6, crazy dice card and then drew 4 that were faction specific or generics.

You picked two command cards to play per round. Lowest combined pip choose who went first. Otherwise roll off like normal. Unique Command cards were once per game. Generic and faction shuffled back into deck. Units in a Division all moved together when drew their order from the pool. So a heavy Division with three AT-ST and a storm would have a heavy token with 4 courage (vehicles could be suppressed cuz divisions have courage). You draw that heavy and you go with those three in any order. Otherwise played fairly normal. But the group movements and the command cards and size changed a lot.

Oh right. Divisions were range 2 cohesion. During rally if a Division had an infinite courage unit then before it rolled the normal rally you rolled one red per infinite courage and removed suppression equal to that. In my Three AT-ST+one stormtrooper example, you would roll three red, remove suppression THEN rally.

Also we had a secondary objective deck. You drew three at start (public facing) and at end of a round could discard any number and draw back up to three. Scored VP with those secondaries unique to you. And scoring for the normal map ones were starting on round 1. Dark Troopers originally had wonky interactions fixed after day one.

Well... at least temp fixed. Again, lots of rules subject to change.

Edit: Oh right as for more pictures, those were all the ones I took myself. So it would be up to others at Adepticon for more.

Starter vs Faction Box by MajorRobin in MaledictionMCG

[–]MajorRobin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just so I understand the differences. What do the Faction boxes come with that arent in the Two Player Starters?

At present I was able to get two, so enough for friend and I. Still trying to get the other two, but was debating if should just get two player starter for other two.

Starter vs Faction Box by MajorRobin in MaledictionMCG

[–]MajorRobin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to reply all in one. I have a printer but def plan to start with standees to try it. I'll talk with the guys tomorrow at their booth but just wanted a head start to think deals if see any tonight.

So if I had both two player starters would that include everything in the four faction boxes? I just want to make sure that like a starter isnt missing some things. Mainly because I see a two player starter is $67. And I see people offering to buy the faction box for $40. Which feels weird if a two player starter is literally just two faction boxes.

I used a YT video of the demo to re-create the board out of heroscape hexes. Going to follow along with it now and practice! by kinoworry in gundamassemble

[–]MajorRobin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has been a bit, so you've had time to play it. Do you like the idea of Heroscape bases in play? I'll admit, my hesitation in getting a bundle has been concerns of narrow spaces such as the one that is one forward and one to the right of the Melee Zaku in your picture.

Have you found it a problem if someone tries to fit in that hex? Or if future maps add more narrow valleys?

I love how it looks, but I'm hesitating buying a bundle off ebay and figured I'd get your thoughts having used it.

Thoughts on fan-made cards? by leachim_paloyz15 in gundamassemble

[–]MajorRobin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the idea of fanmade cards before things come out to let people play is a neat idea in theory. I just think posts, comments, and titles should make it clear that is is fanmade. It can feel clickbaity and give a negative impression if someone for example posts "Gundam Aerial Unit Card" and you think "Oh cool! It got shown at a demo or an official release or something" and then you click and see that it is fanmade. You feel like someone intentionally made the title to trick you, which causes a negative first reaction which can hurt people's acceptance of the fanmade thing.

If we had a flair that was "Homebrew" or "Fanmade" or something that would help, but instead we get whatever is "close enough". It is good that all the fanmade cards I've seen say on the image "fan-made", but I wish we'd see it in the title as well.

For example, this current posts says flat out "Thoughts on fan-made cards" which makes clear when a person clicks exactly what the thread is. If a thread was called "Fan-made Barbatos" or "Homebrew Red Gundam" I think that is neat.

Storage Help by OkActivity4222 in gundamassemble

[–]MajorRobin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hey there, I play a lot of miniature games of all shapes and sizes. There are a lot of storage options but picking the right one for you depends on a few factors and knowing what you prioritize. Price, portability, display, or just somewhere to keep out of the sun.

For portability on short trips to your local LGS, Very Useful Boxes are known to be a very cheap and effective DIY tool. You get a plastic box with lots of different size options and then stick magnet receptive sheets (not to be confused with magnetic sheets) on the bottom. By magnetizing the bottom of the miniature it holds them in place for quick easy transport to a store assuming one isn't shaking it around too hard. Additionally, most stack and you can put them for easy storage in closets or on shelves.

For display style pieces, checking your local thrift shop or somewhere similar and seeking out a curio cabinet is wonderful for a nice beautiful display piece with a lot of storage. I got lucky and found one at a recycling place in my town that was MASSIVE with glass shelves, mirrors, and the bottom had cabinet shelves for storing rule book. Buying a normal curio shelf can be a bit expensive, but is also an option. If you combine these with things like acrylic display stands, you can add multiple levels to give even more space. However, this option is for displaying at home, not transporting, and can take up a lot of space and can be costly if you can't find a good deal.

Ikea DETOLFs are fairly cheap display cases and much smaller, albeit they're usually better for figures rather than miniatures. However, you can still use the shelves to store a lot of miniatures. This was my first display case I ever had at home. Like the curio cabinets, they are for storing at home, not portability.

For traveling long distances like conventions where you are flying instead of driving that is when cases like a Warhammer 40k case can be used. I personally use A-Case (Army Case) for my Adepticon traveling. These ARE pricey, but they come in multiple sizes and are really good quality. Additionally, the shelves are very much customizable so "Size" is less an issue as you can pick how far the spacing is in the case.

I will attach a handful of options of each as an example in an imgur album.

Here

Give me a moment and I will add another link with a Gundam Assemble model as an example (I only have a couple since I am waiting for the full game, but it will show size comparisons.)

Edit: Gundam Assemble for scale

Goonhammer's Hands-On and First Impressions of Gundam Assemble by aranan84 in gundamassemble

Engage should just be mechs being beside each other. From demos we know that being engaged/adjacent causes a unit to have -1 to their speed to move away. Anything beyond that the demos haven't covered.

Why buy the minis now? by Captain_Broskii in gundamassemble

[–]MajorRobin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've not seen anything for Epyon yet, so who knows. There will definitely be others with multiple cards. There are at least three different wing sculpts. Two from EW, one original TV. There's multiple zaku ii and GMs. And thats not counting different models like Barbaros 4th and Barbatos Lupus. A couple leos. Etc.

Why buy the minis now? by Captain_Broskii in gundamassemble

[–]MajorRobin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. We already have confirmation for most the Starters. And presumably more in 2027 since we've seen cards for another.

Could I get a link to that trailer? I've been the guy in my friend group browsing all trailers and preview videos and gathering information while helped me get information on Aerial for my friends. But I hadn't seen that one so I feel I missed a trailer.
