True. My Legion armies will soon be absurdly big. Even if I abandoned the rules I would keep buying the minis for other systems.

To be honest I didn’t like them in IA either, but in Armada when there’s all of 3 symbols and no numbers, I prefer it to constant table lookup in comparison. 🙂

But in both Armada and IA the dice all produce non-linear results (multi hit/surge/crits/values on some faces). In Legion the dice are to greater degree simply representing straight dice results (2+, 3+, 4+, 5+, 6+, 7+ and (7 or) 8 => crit) when the common surges are applied. On the whole the dice in Legion feels much more gimmicky to me as they could probably have been replaced with normal dice in the vast majority of cases.

I generally dislike the movement tool for trooper movement but in fairness I play a bit of Saga as well, where moves have to be in straight lines so having a midpoint dog's leg is at least a bit of an improvement.
