It's FRIDAY!!!!! Who will we see spoiled today??

By FSD, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

Just my speculation about the next wave or waves if we get them are.

1. We don't get a new wave at all and IA becomes the Uncle that nobody talks about. LOL

2. We get a three pack reinforcement wave and they say "This is the last for IA."

3. We get the reinforcement wave and one more box either big or small and they say "This is it for IA."

I am hoping for option 2 through 4. The fourth option is they keep making stuff for IA. Only time will tell.

Let's dream a bit. The next expansion could be a big box that could come out with a 1 vs 4 regular campaign as well as a distinct app campaign!!! Best of both worlds! The theme of the box? Somewhere between the Battle of Endor and the Battle of Jakku? Or it could be related to a specific theme : Rogue One? Rebels tv show? (I know HotE borrows stuff from Rebels but it's not exclusively driven by it. It's more tied to the Clone Wars even if it happened after.)

If it comes to be related to Rebels, i would seriously love to see Mandalore and mandalorians again. So i would assume for a Rebels themed expansion box with a new campaign, while that expansion waves would cover figures like Sabine, Zeb, Kanan, Ezra and all the other protagonists of the tv show, resulting in a final expansion containing rebels heroes and villains plus them badass mandalorians. Now THAT would make the same hype i had for HotE :wub:

Zeb! No seriously though I do expect a Rebels reinforcement wave due to the end of the show, most of the relevant characters have been around 2-4 years now, and we. Already have 3 originals in game(and 2 continuing characters). So within a month or twi

I meant as blisters. Also maul and Ashoka were the continued I referred to since them as a thing during gcw was due to rebels

You could even argue that the ISB troopers are sort of Rebels characters, since they seem inspired by what's his face.

Also: Leia seems intent on shooting the Destiny Dice Binders! :D

I suspect that by mid-February they will be previewing the typeface of the Legion rulebook.

Seems likely.

I also assume that at some point we'll get an article titled this:

Step 1: Deploy on the other side of the terrain from anyone that looks even remotely like Fenn Signis

There is no step 2.

Or Shyla, or Vinto, or Drokkatta, or Gaarkhan...

Obligatory Friday post. Wonder what we'll see today?

My money is on either an announcement for a Thala Siren card in Destiny, or an in depth analysis about the sort of lighting that you should use when photographing your Legion minis.

edit: Oh, or maybe a novella set in the universe of Legends of the Five Rings, detailing how butter is churned in that universe (spoilers: it's the same way as done in ours)

The good news is that it's really a matter of when, not IF we'll get new IA announcements so that's good. I also feel like now that Legion has gotten it's hype and is close to release, our time is coming. I'm pretty sure that the cycle of this thread is hope>>discussion>>anticipation>>frustration/confusion>>utter despair>>"this game is dead">>new release. I'm looking forward to moving into phase one: hope.

I sure hope that we are not just starting to move into the Hope phase... :)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure we're currently somewhere between "utter despair" and "This game is dead", currently. So a new release/announcement should be next, right? :P

Anyway, looks like I was wrong. We got a GOT card article (unfortunately not a Thala Siren, though I think Robin Arryn of the Vale would enjoy that creature).

I don't know about you, but I'm constantly in the "looking forward to the next release"-phase. I'm far too lazy to constantly cycle through all the other phases you described... :lol:

Haha, I laughed so much at this that it deserved to be quoted. Brilliant. :)

One UK retailer mentioned in their newsletter that there would 2 Legion releases per month throughout 2018. If true, I think that delays IA releases a bit.

They would have to be announcing them, 2 releases, per month, about 4 months in advance...

if they keep up the pace, maybe... but I feel they are already “behind” on that target... they can theoretically make it with Veers and snows, then Leia and fleets..... but they have no margin for error, and we all know that FFGs production is very prone to errors outside of their control...

I miss the days of the overly optimistic "Legion will have no impact on Imperial Assault" crowd.

But hey, Legion now has an official release date of March 22. So at least the drought has an expected end date. We'll probably see something by April 6.

Well, the Force and Destiny RPG got a new thing announced. Looks like another game focusing more on Force Users in the OT era. IA was pretty ahead of the pack for that, it seems.
