The medic is a personnel upgrade, for trooper units.

Yeah, but it can heal units at range 1.

Exactly. Of course, it depends on a lot of things.

The medic droids should have Treat X: Y, but we don't know X, Y, or the cost.

I'm most excited for the medics. There's a lot of potential there, healing things like Palp and such.

I've been secretly hoping they wouldn't be released in time for LVO for precisely this reason 😝

Now I gotta deal with regenerating Palps!

We know that they have a limited number of wounds they can treat.

Didn't know the exact effect, seems op??

I think we need to see the cost first. It's a (potentially) very strong effect. I'm very curious how they decided to cost Treat and Repair, because their value varies depending on what you're healing. Bringing back a Z6 vs a regular trooper vs a wound on Luke/Palp/whatever, for example.

It also depends on the values. Treat has a limit of how many wounds it can remove total, and how many at a time. I'm expecting like, Treat 1/3 or 2/4 at best.

It should also be noted that your medics do not contribute dice in an attack, and in certain context they take wounds before non-unit leaders.

I like the idea of multiple factions within a faction.

I have children that attend a school for children with special needs. They have "Family Fun Days" a couple times a month. Last school year I introduced Imperial Assault (simplified rules) to the kids and it was a hit. So much I had to buy an entire second collection. This school year I introduced Legion (simplified rules) and I paint each squad differently to allow for 4 player games.

These games have created a small gaming community for the children and has helped them socially. Also it has created a new wave of Star Wars fans and that is always a plus.

Let me just say Wow.

I have seen your painting threads (like your paiting style and customs) and thought why do you do such different styles with each squad? I now see why and tip my hat to you.

It could be some sort of Relay. "If you could give an order token to this unit, you may give 1 order token to a unit at 1-2 of this unit instead." Maybe exhaustible.

That wasn't a bad guess at all! 😎

This is the best card out of the set if you ask me. Its cheaper than Commanding Presence and Long Range Com-link and there are more and more units with the Comms option.

dont you have to pay for the comms tech mini before equipping this? I think thats a total of 14 versus the 10 for commanding presence or Long range com link

You're absolutely right, however other units can also equip this as long as they have the com upgrade

1-pip-command cards normally issue orders only to the commander. 2-pip-command cards to commander and 1 trooper. 3-pip-command cards to commander and 2 units.

Rebel Commandos and Scout Troopers can be equipped with comms and they could relay commands for 2-pip- and 3-pip-command cards. With 1-pip-command card "Sabotaged Communications" they can relay even with 1 1-pip-card.

Most of these guys don't excite me, though the Astromech ability to remove Ion has potential if the game ever moves away from activation spam.

thanks for clarifying!

Can we talk about how horrifying that smile is.

Sgt Melshi made it into the game!

I do have to say that this picture is really strange looking to me...I mean that looks a digital camera hanging off of that thing. It sort of looks really trashy...guess that's why it's only 5 points even though it's really good!
