Prepare for Ground Assault Blog: 2018 Articles

By ShadowKite, in Star Wars: Legion

Hey everybody, just a friendly reminder that you can read my crazy Legion theories at the Prepare for Ground Assault blog. Now seems like an appropriate time to post General Veers' Unit Guide, since there was just a preview article of him. There's also Unit Guides up for all the released units in the game and discussion on the different Objectives Battle Cards. If you have have any questions, notice any mistakes, or want to make a suggestion for future content let me know!

Reading up on the Rebel troopers.

I feel like it is worthy to note that a Z-6 can be used to spread suppression on multiple squads. And that the Heavy troopers can use the standard Rebel infantry weapons as well as the heavy.

Always a good read!

I would make a note that you need LOS for Veer's "Maximum Firepower" command card. I think this will be a common pitfall that players will fall into due to the far range restrictions of the card.

From what I've read it seems like Veers >> Leia, but we will have to see how that translates to the tabletop.

Thanks for the feedback @TallGiraffe and @jbiondo, those are good points! I will look to update the articles soon to take those into account.

And now you've got me thinking about how Veers and Leia will stack up against each other. Personally I feel like I need to see Leia's other command card to really be able to make that judgement. After all, the points you pay for a commander are also paying for their command cards, and I think sometimes its easy to overlook the commands and just focus on stat-lines and keywords. I also feel like part of the reason Veers looks so good is because he's so much cheaper than Vader. But you're right, we won't really know until the come to the tabletop!

I know that today we're all excited about General Veers releasing, but here's a Snowtrooper unit guide that I just finished. Let me know if notice any mistakes or have any suggestions!

I've also got a post on my Speeder Bikes's paint job. It's nothing special. Very simple and straightforward, but I've described my process with the aim of helping anyone looking for a quick and easy guide.

I've just finished the unit guide for Leia. I think she will and be very impactful in the right hands, and her command cards look really fun to play. Please let me know if you notice any mistakes or have any suggestions.

Also, I wrote a bit about selecting Battle Cards over at Imperial Terrain's blog. I hope you'll take a look and let me know what you think!

So, after a busy few weeks where I didn't get any articles up, I'm finally back with a Fleet Troopers unit guide. I'm also working on revamping my Buying Guide. As always I'd love to hear any feedback you might have.
