By “Pave the way” I didn’t mean it will be the same game.

If Legion is popular (like X-wing was) they might make a whole new game with the ground conflicts taking place on a larger scale (like how Armada does for fleet combat).

IA was popular enough that the leak leading up to Legion's announcement- I thought the time had come. The mass ground combat game I was waiting for- to complete this circle of X-Wing vs Armada, IA vs... would be complete. Finally, full Imperial armor batallions of vehicles in large numbers is a possibility. I was really hoping/wanting this, and I wasn't alone.

I was disappointed during the video reveal that the scale is, essentially, the same as IA. FFG decided their next Star Wars move is an attempt to make a 40K killer... not the Epic-scale game I was hoping for and desired.

I'll believe super large scale when I see it. AT-ATs are going to be the size, at least, of the Armada starter kit box. That's a large unit to move around on table real-estate... I was hoping they'd be the size, at biggest, of a VSD to allow you to field multiples of them vs large ground installations. This won't be the case.

I would have been more enthusiastic for legion if your list could be primarily AT-STs with a phalanx of tanks and light armor... but the max you can take is two armored units? So... no. Passing on this. Someone would have to gift me a legions Starter for me to pick it up.
