Which Map will replace Anchor Head Bar

By kingargyle, in Imperial Assault Skirmish

So, if we go buy past rotation schedules. We should be coming up this week on Thursday with a new rotation.

Anchorhead Cantina (Obi-Wan Kenobi Ally Pack) [Legal Starting 1/23/2017]

Jabba's Palace (Jabba the Hutt Villain Pack) [Legal Starting 4/12/2017]

Nal Hutta Swamps (Jabba's Realm Expansion) [Legal Starting 7/26/2017]

Previous Legal Maps

ISB Headquarters (Agent Blaise Villain Pack) [Legal: 11/1/2016 - 7/25/2017]

Twin Shadows map was rotated in around 10/28/2015. ISB as shown above came in Nov 1st last year.

Anybody that has played any of the new Skirmish maps, which ones do you think will make it. The only one I've played is the 30th Floor map from the HotE expansion. I just got the figures for Ashoka and Emperor so plan to look at those tonight. What will it be.

Could also be from the droid wave.

There are good options from both the Droid wave and the HotE wave. So, regardless of which map it is, the announcement should be very soon. we're past 3 months since Nal Hutta was announced and they want to do quarterly. I'm ready for Anchorhead to go away in a ball of flames.

I'm ready for Nal Hutta to go away. :)

Yea, can we swap Nal Hutta and Anchorhead? I think that would be great. :)

Yes please.

I really like Anchorhead. I feel like it's a great map where you can balance strengths for melee and ranged weapons, and both missions are cool. I will miss it!

I like the shielded mission on Nal Hutta, but the raining freight one is honestly the one mission that makes me feel like I have to have at least one 5 speed character in my list or the ugnaught will put me to naught...

Absolutely. If we could pick one to go away first, that’s how I think most would go. Since we can’t, dropping Anchorhead is one step closer to lighting the swamps on fire. I’m mostly indifferent on Anchorhead and just ready for something new.

I liked the Jawa map when I played it a couple of times . Way fun and definitely gives a boost to Melee vs ranged balance

Glad to see Anchorhead leaving, I wasn't a fan of how much better one deployment zone was over the other.

My bet is going to be either Palpatine or Ahsoka maps. Will be something from the new wave cuz gotta make people buy those new tiles, and the Maul and 30th floor maps have really weird objectives that I think would be weird in a tournament setting. I think Palpatine looks the most promising, especially the objective that gives everyone -3 accuracy for the first few turns.

The Maul map has really fun objectives so I'm pulling for that.

I haven't played the Maul map, but it seems to me to be the least interesting one, as the distance between armies is very long, and there is a ton of terrain blocking.

You'd probably only see starting shots at the end of round 2.

I think Tvboy is spot on; most likely Palatine, maybe Ashoka.

The Palatine mission with senators is also really interesting, although some things could use a clarification in an faq (do you NEED to move adjacent to a friendly figure if possible? Do they move at all if they can't end adjacent to a friendly figure? Are they counted for control? Can you move them with Hera and Gideon? Can they move next to eachother (since they are friendly figures themselves). My guess to all of these would be 'yes' except the 'do they move at all' question, which I think would be 'no')
