Hahaha we might have reached peak desperation as a community, trying to find video evidence so that we can decide for ourselves what kind of "Hmmmmmmm" was "Hmmmmmmmmm"ed.

Seriously FFG, throw us a bone already! :lol:

Hey, we're the product of circumstance. FFG knows what they have to do to end this. ;)

My local store streamed the presentation on Facebook.

So lets say it was Death Troopers and Mandalorians that are in the next expansion. What should the groups look like? I'm thinking Death Troopers would be a two troop deployment with sentinel and a two action focus attack. Mandalorians could be a three unit deployment as the scum only have Wing Guards with three in a unit at the moment and would be mobile.

Hey byrns your local store is Sentry Box in Calgary? Just curious what the turn out was like for Regionals? Any reports written up anywhere or video?

Not that great we had 9 come out (one had a bye).

About 1/2 the players including me have played less than 6 months so the competition wasn't too stiff lol.

No video and no write ups that I know of. I can answer some basic questions... For example there were about 5 Vader Imperials, 1 Han Rebels, and 3 Scum IG lists. IIRC

I didn't make top 4 (just missed out) and I didn't stick around to see the final match results.

Hrmm to bad, I think that the turn out was better last year? New players isn't a bad thing, means there is some new blood in the game which is good. I was strongly considering driving out for it this year (from Saskatchewan) but the timing didn't quite line up. Next year I'd like to make it out and will plan in advance. Closest regional tourney to me.

What list did you end up taking with you? I've heard Sentry Box is a good atmosphere but I've yet to visit the store.

Rogue One all the way for me. It will provide never seen before tiles (tropical), Death Troopers, Beach Troopers etc.

Is Beach Troopers really their name? I cant decide if I hope it is or isn't.

The're called Beach Boys amongst Stormtroopers.

They are called Shore Troopers.

That's Beach Troopers:

Imperials need more 3 man groups. They are the organized military group in the galaxy. The rebels should stay more unique figure focused and the Meecs the 2 man specialists

Ketsu was Merc and Rebel as well, would be cool to see her show up.

Spoilers for Battlefront II campaign follow.

I've thought about dual-faction figures for IA for a while. I think Iden Versio is right up this idea's (and game's) alley. Ignore the point costs. I just pulled them out of my nethers. This is just a concept anyway. Basically, the character is the same, ability- and stat-wise. But, it would include two miniatures (Iden in Inferno gear and Iden in her Rebel gear) and two deployment cards.
