Has anyone tried playing on a Hex mat and limiting squadron movement to hex counts? The overall effect would be different, but I suspect this would speed up the movement of squadrons.

See, this is a good idea. Squads are in a specific hex, can shoot enemies in the same hex, area effects limited to neighbouring hexes... good idea. Just need an expensive mat to make it work... sigh.

Would need to work out what size hex’s are needed. If something like that was implemented everyone would have to upgrade/change their play surface. But I do like the idea.

Make it squares, 6” across. Folks could pencil / stencil that on their existing mats.

Maybe 4”.

What I really want is terrain pieces that are on thin plastic so they don’t make the ships wobble or the man tool point up in a strange way.

I reckon a "Galactic civil war" expansion expanding the rules eg with some combination of

- Complete set of new objectives

- Variable deployment ala Legion

- Battlefield environmental effects

- modelled terrain that interacts - Hutt cartel starbases, mining guild, corporate sector facilities etc.

- Rebalance a whole tranch of points values - Aces all up 50% in cost, generals cheaper

Maybe noch just new objectives (although it's a great idea), but missions. Corellian Conflict went into a good direction, but some known (and lesser known) battles would be a good thing.

- I would like some star wars terrain space stations, asteroids and the like.

- A new Campaign but instead of new squadrons maybe new ship variants for the current ships. Like a Victory star destroyer refit for example.

- An upgrade for anti squadron armaments so instead of relying on squadrons your ships can be your anti fighter screen.

- Crew versions of the Admirals in the game we have Vader and Leia as both crew and Leaders why not the others?
