So since were basically done with July, and the floating dates on Amazon and elsewhere of late August, I'm starting to believe that maybe FFG is alternating from the "one release per month" model to a "side by side" one. Announcements told us that we had three Q3 releases, Han-Commando/Boba-Scout/Turrets. With one month gone and the first announcement seemingly aimed towards the end of 2nd month, that's not a whole lot of time to stagger 3 different sets. Hence my belief that maybe they heard us regarding the Veers/Leia timing? (it was 1 month apart, troops were 2 weeks) Of course that would mean though that Boba/Scouts would need to change to "On the boat" this week, or soon after.

Here's hoping.

Don't pay any attention to the Amazon dates, Amazon seller can't list a product without putting a release date on there, so they just guess. The Spanish FFG site has been fairly accurate so far, and indicates the week of August 24th for Han and Commandos (and the reprints of previous product), and week of September 7th for Scouts and Boba. I expect both emplacements will be released on the same day, keeping with FFG's intention of releasing 2 kits at the same time (Veers/Snowtroopers being the outlier likely due to a manufacturing delay), so they would just need to be released at the end of September. Plenty of time for 3 releases, without making any concurrent. Or the Emplacements get pushed back, which is also possible.

Well even still, 2 releases that weren't necessarily "mirror units" in the same month would be nice as well if that holds true.

Good chance Han and the rebel commandos are released side by side.

Han + rebel commandos drop together most likely. Sounds like Boba + scouts are only a few short weeks behind

A Commander/Operative & some other unit for the same faction has so far been the release plan. Leia released with Fleet troopers, while Veers was supposed to release with Snowtroopers. Snowtroopers and Fleet troopers are arguably "mirrors" and if I recall correctly they were not released in the same month. The only release that might break that pattern and be two "mirror" units released alongside is the Emplacement units, since both factions are only getting one unit at that time. It seems the pattern is more that FFG tries to release two products for Legion on the same day.... and sometimes fails. I wouldn't be surprised if the Objectives and Barricades were supposed to be released on the same day, although I can't find anything indicating that was FFG's original plan.

Seeing as the FFG announcement specifically says "releasing alongside," that's a fair bet. Barring any unavoidable delays to one of the kits of course.

I think it's gonna be a hard time for the Empire until Bobba and the scouts show up...

The most recent pack was last months objective/terrain pack right? Or are we counting the barriers as July's pack?

I think you have those flipped. If I recall correctly the barricades were June, the Objectives pack was July. Seeing as April was the Gamemats, FFG might consider the objectives the July release.

Maybe. I have yet to buy the objectives pack and haven't been to the store to play in about 6 weeks. Legion kinda died due to lack of content.

Fair. The lack of decent official events (and only two factions) has resulted in it becoming a semi-underground game here as well. The occasional player shows up, but we have more than a few die-hards who have custom built terrain for Hoth, Endor, Tatooine, etc etc.
