So my local gaming shop isn't getting wave 9 in until probably Wednesday and as we're starting a new campaign this week. We want our imperial player to have a chance to pick the new agenda sets. Have previews of them been published anywhere so we can evaluate them?

Look for the preview articles on FFG's main site for what they've previewed. Alternatively glance at http://cards.boardwars.eu/ for the cards that come with an expansion, but wave 9 hasn't been added yet.

Already answered in BGG.

Also, my packs are shipping and expected tomorrow, so the next version of the Vassal IA Campaign module should be up on Wednesday or at least this week.

I posted the Agenda Set for the droids BT-1 and 0-0-0 in a different thread, I will try to link to it here:

In my limited experience with him, BT-1 can deal a lot of damage - so he might be a nice Villain to earn since he is only 6 threat. We were already mid-campaign when I bought the pack, so I didn't get a chance to use him in Campaign mode yet

I like that totalnoob has more reputation than posts.

Edit: it would seem that he isn't a "totalnoob" after all.

Thanks @ATM2100! I have made some strides for sure, with an enormous help from everyone here. When my son and I purchased the core set in January, I could not have been more of a noob. I mean, other noobs were insulted and embarrassed with my lack of knowledge regarding playing a miniature game. My total lack of understanding the game mechanics on our first couple "attempts" to play were blooper-reel hilarious.

Honestly, my son was really determined to learn it - and his determination drove me to make sure I could answer his questions (and my own of course). I was close to giving up several times - but each evening (and while playing) I was frantically searching this site and BGG trying to get answers to things that were totally foreign to me. Without the people on this forum - I NEVER would have figured it out. This community deserves huge props in helping to grow the game - because as a total outsider/beginner I was overwhelmed and relied on these boards to make it work. All of us are glad that we stuck to it, because now we are having such a blast with this game.
