So whats been released/teased so far, despite everyones wants and desires for AT-ATs, they are not feasable. In addition the mission objectives seem to be more company level skirmishes and firefights.

Speculation! Planetary assault expansion/campaign book.

I think it will bring:

Epic scale (1000-1500pt battles)

Huge vehicles (AT-ATs)

Fixed defences (golan defence turret, shield generator etc), orbital bombardment

Attacker/defender missions, new setups/battlefield conditions

Well.. thats what I think anyway

First expansion will be called 'Gungan Jihad' and will be abook about how the Gungan War Machine under General Jar Jar swept all before it with a huge supply of 'boomas'.

Wrong scale for that.

Why does gender keep coming up in the forums? Is this a thing across wargame miniatures as a whole or is it just here?

It's a huge problem in gaming right now. Admittedly I am a little sensitive about it. My wife and I just had a baby girl and it has changed the way I look at things.

I can understand the gender thing.

Remember the originals were shot in 1977, for better or worse back then it was a mans world.

The prequels were a little better. They showed female Jedi and bounty hunter, but still not in the staring roles.

Then came clone wars were females started to show up more.

Rebels burst onto the seen where female characters were on par with Heroes and Villains.

Now come the newest films. Females are on equal footing, and maybe gained an edge on their male counterparts. I am all for this and expect to see roles where thy get equal billing.

Yes Legion will be predominately male characters, and that's because it was shot in 1977, 41 years ago and times were different. But Rebels mitigate that, also set in the time line between episodes 3 and 4 we have a host of female heroes and villains to draw from.

So i'm not worried about female characters, they'll get their fair share as we go on, I expect that and look forward to it.

I reckon we’ll get new setup requirements where, rather than both teams going for the same victory conditions, they will each have different victory conditions.

Seige / Defense

-For competitive both teams will need the same points, but I imagine there will be objectives that can be destroyed/escorted off board?

Regicide

-Specific general or unit (or droid) needs to be destroyed. One team protecting the other trying to destroy.

Hopefully come with new deployment cards and new weather conditions as well

Did someone in this thread bring up gender? I mean, I'm all for healthy discussion about gender perceptions and the tabletop community, but I just don't understand what that has to do with anything in this thread...

Yeah, the OP is equally confused, and concerned that the first 3 replies on this topic have killed all constructive conversation

Is the OP referring to himself in 3rd person? Cade approves.

That explains it. Thanks.

ANYWAYS, ... I would love this expansion to become a reality! It sounds awesome; but I am not sure that AT-ATs will ever be added. I wish they would though,

Well Jack, don't be negative, I see this as a way to get AT-ATs into the game, probably the only way will be an x-wing style epic format at the 1500pt game mark, where the AT-AT will cost not only a lot of points but also Epic points. Fixed defences will also cost epic points

Don't get me wrong, I would LOVE an expansion like this, and the things that you brought up about AT-ATs and stationary weapons are really cool, but I am just getting a feeling that FFG purposefully made the AT-ST really big to satisfy the people that wanted AT-ATs. Again though, hopefully we get an expansion like this.

Good to see it's all back on topic.

As to the OP, while part of wants to say yes that would be awesome, I don't want to have to buy Epic vehicles just for the extra bits they will inevitable throw in for standard play. But I suppose the options would be nice. So far I found epic play for too slow and dull to keep my interest so my main hope would be much more of a game then' Legion but MORE and BIGGER'

I had been wondering too. I'm usually the misogyny-police around here, so I was wondering how the heck this came up.

I don't really see how they can't make an AT-AT. Yeah, it'll be sliding scale style small-ish, but it will still tower over everything. If it's even half-again taller than the AT-ST it'll be epic enough.

Emplacements are likely to be a no brainer. Shoot, they could even do a big terrain box set for the Battle of Hoth.

I think that a heroes mode might be cool. Like Leia Han and Chewie fighting out of the death Star

Wouldn't that just be IA?

I think Veers' command card is about as close as we'll get to an AT-AT in this game. And I'm fine with that.

This isn't a statement on the likelihood of either, but people have been saying the same thing about an SSD in Armada since it came out...

And Armada isn't dead yet. I'm still pretty sure they'll do that one too, probably sooner rather than later.

And about ISD's for x wing until Armada came out. But who knows what the future will bring? For now I'm excited about a platoon level star wars game
