Hey, it's General Sorin
The Generals Ranks looks like it would fit in really well with the popular officer/royal guard lists.
Oh god... Not the MTV-7.

Am I reading the same card? It looks really bad, and I don't think anyone would ever play that over another officer.
The attack thing is neat for parting blow, but 1 damage isn't that much for the 2 times you're going to play it.
The movement is okay, but having an extra figure get ordered by an officer is way better than moving 2 more spaces on a single order.
Oh god... Not the MTV-7.
They tend to reuse art and it has been a unit card in the LCG for a couple years now.

I just hope it's not up to be used as a model for a figure. It's so goofy, and there are other better figs that could be used instead.
As a campaign player, I think I'll pass. Seems really silly (and weak) that he needs to be adjacent to figures.

What about on an Eweb though where it almost doubles the movement? Definitely worth it there.
Everything in this pack seems bad; is that just my imagination?

You'd really rather play an eweb and this bad card instead of more guards?
An extra officer is still better in this case, too, as you have more options on what you're doing.

His Agenda set doesn't look too bad. A 7-threat Repulser tank once per mission, and a single-use card that Bleeds anyone who takes damage from a blast?
Sorin himself is basically designed to always team with those tanks, where his ability to give them Focus and Stun surges can be chained almost indefinitely with their multi-attack. Shoot, gain a focus, shoot again, spend focus to get a new focus and maybe also Stun. Elite HK Droids may also see some benefits, as Sorin basically gives them every type of surge but Bleeds.
He's still not enough to boost the AT-ST or General Weiss into being competative, but that's due more to their stun vulnerability and their single attack per round for their cost.
Just want to point out something that people have over looked: royal guards with blast.
Heres the problem though, Vehicles are pretty unreliable. 1. They have massive, so you can't bring them to every mission and even on missions you can use them might contain crucial indoor areas. 2. You're spending alot of threat for only 1 attack a turn. Unless of course you use an elite officer or Sorin, but they can just as easily do that with any unit. 3. While none of us have played with the tank yet, the only other vehicle we have (besides Weiss) is the AT-ST. From my play experience, the AT-ST is not meant for attacking. It's main purpose is to take up time and hold back the rebel heroes.
In short, theres better 2 cost influence cards you can get and use much more frequently as well. The 1 cost isn't bad, but not worth using a whole agenda set for.
Unlocking General Sorin doesn't seem that great. He is another support guy that requires specific set ups and has to be ADJACENT to units. He's not like Boba Fett or RGC that you can toss into any mission. Sorin requires specific units to reach a good potential so you either need to hope that the mission has droids/vehicles as reserved groups or bring your own... once again limiting you. Atleast with Kayn Somos you get troopers on every mission.

So they can hurt themselves? You can't mass stun with blast.
Edited by patrickmahan3 Officers + 1 E-Web = 9 Movement
2 Officers + 1 Generals Ranks + 1 E-Web = 10 Movement
Campaign thoughts:
If you are using the new Armored Onslaught class deck, then Sorin's agenda set is an auto-include. He is also decent with the inspiring leadership deck but I would definitely not use him with any other class deck, there is way too much competition in the 8 threat slot.
While he can be used with droids, Vehicles are going to be where he gets his best value (the same is true for the class deck). Now, the base campaign is very vehicle unfriendly, I would never use the Armored Onslaught deck (and therefore Sorin) in that campaign. But, if the Hoth campaign has a lot of outdoor areas then I definitely can see Sorin, Vehicles, and the Onslaught deck doing work.
Edited by DeadwolfStatement: The tactical acumen of General Sorin will increase the combat efficiency of the HK assassination protocols by precisely 24.867%.
Jubilant Admission: I look forward to terminating the undesirables while under the command of this masterful general.

Yeah it's a shame the y don't have reach so blast wouldn't hit then or something ;-)

Solemn agreement: I concur with your tactical assessment, and look forward to triggering Relentless three+ times per round.
In addition to Armored Onslaught, I also like him quite a bit with the inspiring leadership class deck.
Put Field General on him and he can order another unit to attack twice (You'd have to already be adjacent tho).

You're still only dealing 1 damage. Again, conditions don't apply to people hit by blast. I don't know why you think Royal Guards would be specifically good with bombardment when they're actually one of the worst considering that means General Sorin would be near the rebels.

Gotta agree.
The adjacent limitation isn't very fluffy either.
Vehicles are supposed to be contacted via comlink devices of some kind.
Picturing Sorin waving his arms and yelling up at an AT-ST is a very silly thought 
His Bombardment ability has LOS written all over it! Should be Blast 2 as well.
Oh well, gotta buy the expansion anyway. I hate tokens and proxies.
At least he will make a nice model for those missions where you need Weiss on foot/imperial prisoner

Maybe he's actually a tech head and he's shooting it himself.

Pretty sure he's got a tin can/string running into the vehicles. His division has been having some cutbacks since the battle of Hoth apparently.
