So we know that Return to Hoth will include a skirmish variant, allowing up to 3 or 4 players to play against each other.

How do we all think this will work?

- How will initiative/activations/passing work?

- Will lists still be 40 points? Will it still be 40 VPs to win?

Will it still be fair, If three players gang up on one?

I hope this won't be a tournament format...

If there is a competitive version, it will likely be 2v2. Otherwise, it will feature maps with more than 2 deployment zones, likely more terminals, and awesome objectives. The biggest wall against adding players compared to other offerings like X wing or Armada is that the maps are quite small and decisively designed for 2 players and 40 points.

I'm thinking they're must be reasonably large changes to Initiative/activating/passing surely? 3 other players activating before you've even gone seems very difficult.

I assumed the 4 player mode will include new maps and missions specific to playing with 4 players.

New larger maps, supporting 4 way or 2v2 games.

The 2v2 maps could be played 1v1 using 80 point lists (wonder if anyone will buy 4 cores?)
