I think that’s backwards tbh. CIS will have a much easier time keeping up for awhile. I was able to take a core box set list and 3-0 a local tournament this past weekend. I’ve also been playing then online in the Yavinbase team league, and won both games with them as well.

My favorite list has 48 B1s, 20 wounds of Droideka (shield + health) and 8 wounds of Grevious. It looks and feels like a swarm on the table.

I agree but we are in the minority, activation control and greivous are quite strong

Interesting.... it may just be my lack of exposure to droid info then, combined with grevious appearing to be a paradox for them. (He wants to be in cc but still back handing out orders)

Luke has the same issue early on

Yeah but rebels don't get lumped with being forced into actions they may not want to do if Luke ignored them.

Ah but the droids do just fine with HQ Uplink and coordinate

We'll see. People still call me crazy for suggesting comm jammers will be decent when cw drops, but it worries me ( as an intended separatist collector)

I think costing 5 points comm jammers are going to suck for us CIS players, especially on tauntauns (actually I think they are going to be the main use of comms jammers) but maybe people will think CIS is weak enough to not tech against us initially

If it wasn't only slightly worse at disabling fire support (you need to go after clone commanders instead of the units) I'd feel better. @ 5-15 points in a list for what it means to half the factions............ and how much it will cost them to tool around it.....

I feel like grievous is going to want to stay protected in the phalanx, then jump out when in close contact and start slaughtering people

Not looking likely for Sept 20? Would we have heard news of a “yes” by now?

We almost always have a 2 week notice of when things are shipping so most likely the 20th is out. If they don't start shipping this week we probably won't see them in September :(

And we won't hear anything offical about it until it does start shipping, whenever that is. So **** frustrating.

I've been persistently harassing them on social media. But it's just me so they mostly just delete my comments or ignore me.

there's power in numbers folks.

The question has been asked daily, if not more, on the Legion FB group page, where FFG has a couple of reps. FFG is aware. They're not answering because they don't realize how many people care about the issue, they're not answering because they either don't care to, or don't have an answer to give. Not sure which one is worse, to be honest.

someone post on a FB page amazon updated the listing to sept 27, we will see this friday if that is true

Amazon is showing November 29 for me still.

Amazon listing are notorious for being wrong. The sellers HAVE to list a release date in order to have the item listed on Amazon, so they make one up in order to be allowed to post. Amazon release dates for Legion product aren't worth the photons that display them.

CW set was set for third quarter of 2019. I bet we hear whispers next week. Probably another article to hype everyone up.

Release will be on the 27th.

If its not, we will find you and we will....

My friend posted a picture in our group chat that Coolstuffinc has updated the core to a September 27th release

Should find out this week if the 27th is true. Unlikely to be the 20th if things are just shipping now :(

it won't be the first time they missed a 3 month release window they set it a year in advance and it won't be the last.

Will this stretch into October?

I hope not, or there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Let hope first week in October is realistic :(
