I have been feeling a few trimmers in the force recently. last time I felt them we got SCUM & VILLAINY... and after that we got RAIDER and GON GON ZILLAH!

You know Crabs and Draft and I and a few others have been hollering about a LAND WAR version of X-EPIC, and that certainly is a direct competitor with GW stuff. FFG just announced that they are ending their relationship with GW today. That is the tremor in The Force that has pushed me over to my view that WE ARE GETTING A GROUND GAME.

The first tremor came when I fully understood that ROGUE ONE was going to be full of cool new Land War Action like what we saw in Empire. The next tremor was seeing the direct relationships with Fantasy Flight Games and REBELS, TFA, and MOUSE Toys being produced by other Mouse Toy Companies.

Now here comes more Land War stuff in recent Rogue One trailers and preview art and the Lego Toys and Hasbro goodies... all registered and approved by Dat MOUSE!

Just this week we saw the very clearly worded card art with LANDING all over da-place. Jedi Brother Crabs is right. He called it out in his own recent topic.

I agree with his appraisal completely now, since even more LAND WAR art has just been released.

Dunno it might be for real now Star Brahs. I Can Feel IT!

I just want that Imperial astromech (Crew?) - Yeah, Imperial regen!

Personally, I'm not convinced, yet.

And I hope not, I want FFG to diversify and not focus solely on Star Wars games, it would make them too dependent on the license.

Maybe. But it better be good. I doubt I could afford another game anyhow.

Chris likes to get a new $100 Boxed Game out each holiday... DOOM ain't it... we have not seen it yet.

RuneWars Miniatures Game has command dials and movement templates. It could easily be the test case for a new Star Wars Ground Assault Miniatures Game, in the same way that Descent cleared a path for Imperial Assault.

Man, we can hope. Though my wallet cringes in anticipation. I don't need an addiction to 5 FFG games.

Those tremors aren't landwars, thryre just Sabine uwings dropping off their "crew"

THE PARTISANS ARE COMING TOO!

So, there's this really cool game that already does squad based warfare and can easily be converted to full-blown epic tabletop battles..... Imperial Assault.

HEL-NAH...X-WINGS AND TIE FIGHTERS BRAH!

so how come that hurt it but blasters from the snow speeders had no effect...

AT-AT's have special armor that disperses energy bolts.

I wonder what those orange containers on everything means?

These are Transport AT's and the orange boxes are for cargo.

If you look close that rocket just blasts the canon off the head canopy. That thing ain't hurt and hitting a canon while going 300 mph with a fixed energy blaster while being shot at is almost impossible. I think it fits just fine into established lore.

YUP... but missiles and other heavy boom-stuff does hurt AT-AT's.

Also y-wings amongst the Rogue One Micro Machines

Yeah, but that 4winged imp ship also has what looks like a orange containers underneath, and the hover tanks have orange "barrels". Seems like a design choice of some importance.

I think so too. It has to do with fortifying the base they have. But The Rebels surprise attack and this is why we see Cargo AT's shooting rather than the heavier badass AT-AT's we saw in Empire.

It's the difference between a Javelin anti-tank missile and a 20mm cannon. Only one has any chance of breaching frontal main battle tank armor.

I'm not saying we're not going to get a ground combat game. I just don't think it's going to be part of or compatible with X-Wing.

can't even tell if it went in (or just impacted on the surface)
