A new preview is up. FFG is really pulling out all the stops on this game.

Looks sweet.

That Subversive imperial deck looks really sweet at first glance.

Punishes people for Resting, but then punishes them for having strain as well...nice.

I am eagerly awaiting my pre order notice to arrive in the coming months. The anticipation is keen.

Now I know how Grand Moff Tarkin felt, counting down the time, as the Death Star made the hyper space jump to rebellious Alderaan .

I usually mix up Influence and Threat.

I understand they are different things, but I suppose I'm a little unclear with Influence right now because we have yet to see a concrete example of the Empire earning influence.

I'm just curious how much Influence the Empire receives after each mission, and how winning/losing/meeting partial requirements can impact that amount.

On a similar note is XP.

But I'm sure things will make sense once I've got the campaign booklet in my hand
