So hypothetically, FFG fires its entire PR department after their Hyperspace Report faux pass. You are now in charge because anyone off the street could swing this

What order do you release the last previews (Wraiths, Kethra, Berserkers, Threshers) and where do you insert the new material announcements (Latari specialist, Uthuk ranged and specialist)? Is there a specific reason you save certain ones for earlier or later? How much do you reveal in the previews?

Berserkers - Threshers - Kethra - Wraiths - Scouts - New Uthuk Ranged - New Latari Specialist - New Uthuk Specialist

There it is. Topic closed. ?

Personally, I’d move Threshers to be the last of the Uthuk previews. Without having either unique revealed, they have the most “exciting” reveal

I'm actually very much looking forward to Kethra's cavalry upgrade. I've got a silly list brewing that has her embeded in 3x3 Flesh Rippers and Ravos in 3x2 Spined Threshers ... and that's the whole list, as far as units go! I want to explore what upgrades will be best for those two units. I've got my fingers crossed that Kethra can still add the Unnatural Growths when she is an upgrade because then I put one on each unit and I'm set.

I suspect she will add Precise 1 and her skill action for around 14 points. Probably a 2/3 figure.

For the slow on uptake (like me) what’s the LR department and what was the faux pas?

Nothing happened; this is just the scenario.

But I don't know what LR means. Labor Relations? Or was it supposed to be PR for public relations?

PR. My bad. Public relations

They were hyping the "Hyperspace Report" the day before events started at Star Wars Worlds last week as having big reveals for all your favorite FFG Star Wars games and then the actual thing was 100% X-Wing 2nd Edition announcement. Tons of (legitimately -- the last-minute announcement of the Hyperspace Report meant changing travel plans probably wasn't trivial) disappointed single-game fan press attendees for SW Destiny, Armada, Imperial Assault, etc.

Back on topic, Berzerkers, Kethra, Flesh Rippers, Spined Threshers for the announced Uthuk. I'm split on whether to follow that up with Uthuk Ranged, Latari Specialist, Uthuk Specialist, or Latari Specialist, Uthuk Ranged, Uthuk Specialist. I'd probably make the choice based on how disruptive to Uthuk the Latari Specialist is anticipated to be. If it's highly effective against Uthuk core unit metas, I'd probably do it first to build suspense about what Uthuk will get to play around it. Otherwise, I'd keep hammering on filling out the Uthuk's units with their ranged option first. I like the idea of doing Kethra early to give people ideas for what a non-Ravos Uthuk list would look like. It feels like she probably plays off the Berzerkers, so I'd do them first to provide the full context.

I'm 1/1 so far!

Welp, all of our brackets are blown...
