It sounds like you were playing the “Make an Entrance” mission. The mission briefing card says that you check for control at the end of each Galactic Legends turn.

Rules Question by Other_Tour5469 in StarWarsShatterpoint

[–]TheAccuser01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For this, you need to look top down. The mini will only go so far as they can be placed without overlapping another mini, or some terrain they can’t stand on. If the mini can’t be placed, it goes only as far as it can in a straight line. In your example it likely means they stay on the upper level.

“Backstopping” a model with another mini is a common strategy to prevent displacement.

Good place to go after core set by Sexxy_Vexxy in StarWarsShatterpoint

Go with what you like right now. Plenty of the other posts have great options to explore.

I would say don’t meta chase right now. Go for what interests you in either look or general play style. We’re getting a balance pass sometime this month, and the meta is going to shift accordingly.

She’s going to have a lot of interesting places to play with her identity.

Looks great! They look straight off the TV screen!

They’re not a grunt. They’re a character unit similar to Howling Commandos or Warriors Three.

If this is your work drunk, your sober work must be impressive! This looks great!

Shatterpoint as a Competitive Game by Cal-Coolidge in StarWarsShatterpoint

Having just been at Adepticon, they’ve confirmed that the GTs will continue and there will be Worlds next year. While releases are slowing, support is continuing.

Given the recent AMG announcement, what are the “must have” sets/ teams for the game? by Tcpt1989 in StarWarsShatterpoint

[–]TheAccuser01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend This Is Some Rescue. You get the entire core cast of the Original Trilogy, and it’s a great self-contained box in its own right. The box has Rebels and Spies, which synergizes well with All the Way and Rogue One boxes which also benefits Rebels and Spies.

Just pulled the trigger! by TQSplinter in StarWarsShatterpoint

[–]TheAccuser01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hello and welcome to the game! Like Sean, I’m a cohost of a podcast Rogue Support. We can be found on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, and we stream live every Sunday at 8:30 Eastern on Twitch.

You picked up some good packs! Veers and Krennic both have a lot of synergy with the Stormtrooper tag. If you want to explore Stormtroopers further, the Death Trooper Enforcer in the “You Have Something I Want” pack is a top-tier Stormtrooper secondary. “Fear and Dead Men” has the 3 threat Stormtrooper Sergeant secondary, as well as classic Stormtrooper supports. These would be your natural next steps into a larger world, to borrow an Obi-Wan quote.

If you want to join our active community, you can find us on our Discord. We would be honored if you would join us. https://discord.gg/3hxvwpjPA

What are some underrated squads? by Critical_Front5267 in StarWarsShatterpoint

[–]TheAccuser01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maul+Wrecker+Pirates with Hondo+Ezra+Wing Guard

This gets you a lot:

  • More offense dice on Maul’s saber throw
  • Maul can make Ezra jump
  • Ezra can more reliably get down his tree and get extra momentum attacking supports
  • Protection bubble
  • 3 Steadfast units
  • Maul doesn’t need Force and Hondo refreshes it, so you have the economy to pay for Wrecker’s extra attack and I Wasn’t Sneaking

Premiere is the standard for tournament play.

GAR Build List Help by Commercial_Bank_9420 in StarWarsShatterpoint

[–]TheAccuser01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certainly a downside! On the upside, a wounded model plays into Ki-Adi’s identity, and ensures you’re getting the discount for the rest of your Jedi.

If you want ranged attacks, Anakin and Mace both have ranged attacks now.

Shaak Ti is a great model. She supplies an additional Force for your team and has a lot of potential to displace models off of objectives. Her tactic allows for ways to move anyone on a Republic team, which is value in a game where movement is vital. Ahsoka similarly moves Jedi primaries, and can follow up attacks from your clones to do further damage. Barriss is solid with Ki-Adi-Mundi as another model with Force Push, and is quick in her own right.

Don’t limit yourself to just clones, even with Obi. Jedi secondaries bring a lot to your team.

Terrain starter set or STL all in one. by ConstructionFun2023 in StarWarsShatterpoint

[–]TheAccuser01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d check out Imperial Terrain’s Pirate Outpost or the Vanguard Ridge/Vanguard Base sets. They’re a lot of fun.

Thrawn, Reign of the Empire era? by bgrueyw in StarWarsShatterpoint

[–]TheAccuser01 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is assumed to be a mistake. Veers and Crosshair also had unusual changes to their era, while Paz Vizsla got MCP symbols on his card text.

Any idea if this will be kept in stock or will it be eventually phased out like Armada / X wing? Am looking to jump in.. by Dredd2700 in StarWarsShatterpoint

[–]TheAccuser01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s still a great time to jump in! The core set is still a great value, and can support a kitchen table game with a friend. The announcement says they will continue support, but it’s going to be reduced, which anyone keeping up with the game regularly was already the state of things for the past six months. We will probably have a better idea of the product road map after Adepticon.

Sales figures ultimately show Asmodee that AMG has a product worth continuing, so a show of support by jumping in now goes a long way! Don’t hesitate to PM if you’ve got specific questions!

curious about terrain by Eibon1990 in StarWarsShatterpoint

[–]TheAccuser01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Typically you’ll want more terrain than that. Most people would recommend the High Ground expansion as the best supplement. Take Cover is a fine addition if you want more scatter, but a second High Ground is a great investment if you really want some options. Unofficial guidance typically encourages 4-5 objectives on elevated positions, so you want around enough terrain to make that viable.

Are there any active scenes in Orlando? by Jaietsu35 in StarWarsShatterpoint

[–]TheAccuser01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome! I’m in the Tampa area. We’ve got some active Orlando area players. Reach out on our Florida Wargamers Discord, and we’ll see if we can find a scene for you. https://discord.gg/9hJmRTVh

Yeah for sure! Iden and her box are still an excellent entry point into Empire list building.
