Based on the spread, no Yoda, unless they are getting clever and there are 2 facedown cards in a stack.

The LAAT/i part says 14 upgrade cards, but you can only see 10. So 4 potential secret cards to show later.

@pyoinator also noticed it. 3 (V), range 2-3

Yeah new missile card, new bombs and a new cannon. All the weapons in that pack! Now I'm kinda hoping the cannon and bomb are CIS-only otherwise I'll have to grab those cards another way.

LAAT looks like it can spend recurring charges to help friendly characters reroll attack dice while performing a non-? attack.

Separatist Gunship can't spend TL tokens, but gets rerolls equal to the number of friendly target-lock tokens on the defender.

HMP Gunship seems to have a ship ability that says they can't spend locks to reroll dice but always reroll dice equal to number of friendly ships that have the defender locked?

LAAT says it can spend charge whenever friendly performs a non-turret-arc attack against enemy in LAAT's turret arc. If it does, attacker rerolls up to 2 dice. Not sure if charges are recurring.

Gunship says it cannot spend locks to reroll attack dice but when it attacks, it can reroll as many dice as there are friendly locks on the defender.

Hmm if that is so, HMP will basically require some DRK-1 launcher in the list. I'm so unused to spend locks with CIS...

I just have the worst luck. I didn't think the prequel stuff I wanted would take this long to get, but almost every Wave in 2.0 (including reissues) feels like it's dancing around my interests. I knew other people wanted the LAAT and I was hoping for them it would happen, but I didn't expect a whole announcement of transport ships. 2.0 got me back into the game, and to play it normally for the first time, but man the announcements have been perfectly laid out to leave me (personally, this is a lament, not a complaint) with nothing in particular to look forward to.

3 secret cards, one of them is Plo Koon

On the HMP Droid spread between Ion Missiles and Missile Pods, there is a Relay or Crew or something that adds white calc and had three charges. Take a close look at the charges symbol on the card. Is that three arrows meaning it regains all three charges each turn?

Sure looks it. If I'm seeing correctly the scene depicted is from Star Wars: Rebels. I forget the droid's name but it was a Super Tactical series that ignored and refused to relay the shut down signal. The Wraiths were able to convince it to use its subordinates to fight against the Imps for a battle. Afterwards it took its forces elsewhere.

HMP is a DRK carrier indeed...

Rex, Fives, and what looks like a double-slot clone trooper company!

All this on top of Plo, Kit, Ayla, and more! I like it.

Droid Gunship is pretty tough for a small base with 5 hull/3 shields. Nice ability that says you can't spend Locks when attacking, but get a free re-roll for each friendly Lock on the target. So perhaps worth dusting down the Haor Chall Prototypes to support them - those droid fighters that can get combat phase Lock actions.

But no Networked Calculations, and no turnaround maneuvers(!) unless the reverse of the "Repulsorlift Stabilizers" Configuration card allows them.

The article lists 14 upgrade cards for the LAAT/I and only shows 10 in the spread. Plo Koon is the upgrade card linked in the article itself which is not in the spread. That means there are 3 upgrades that come in the LAAT/I expansion that have not been revealed yet.

Article?

Edit: Woah, two in one day! Heh...

Aayla Secura: When an enemy ship in your [bullseye] performs an attack, if the defender is friendly and at range 0-2, the defender may change a blank result to a [focus] result.

1 force recurring, focus linked to a purple coordinate.

Seems fun, but I don't know how easy to point at bullseye this will be.

The linked action is the selling point for her. That's pretty flipping spiffy.

Squad of LAATS: can all give each other 2 re-rolls when they attack with Barrage Rockets....

Squad of HMPs can give each other 2+ rerolls with any weapon.

Gosh, what are these things gonna cost? I guess they're beefy enough I could see them peeking over 40? 4 can't be any worse than 4 Auzitucks, and those things have a 3-primary and Reinforce. 6 seems like it'd be a pretty tough game for your opponent?

I want so many of theeeeem.

Its name is Kalani, the best Super Tactical Droid ever (I hope to use it on both X-Wing and Legion!)

True, but that's only against a specific target, and doesn't provide double mods. (Barrage Rocket LAATs get 2 re-rolls + Focus.)

Interesting thing I just noticed:

- Not identified as Wave 7

- No reprints announced

- Q2 estimated arrival

Is this a new normal, or do they just need a breather? Kinda nice they’re not over-committing and digging themselves into a hole.

Hope this painful delay-hangover period is over soon.

Nah, pretty sure they just squeezed this article out quick due to the leaks.

It does if you get the locks via probe droids!

That's what I suspect as well. Still is nice to have some info. I hope there is more to the "wave" these are part of, but I'll survive if not.

Look on the main FFG page again, the banner for the article at the top (the ones that scroll) says Wave 7

They always said it was due this week. Wednesday is a normal day for an article like this. Points are tomorrow.

The leak was more likely a time zone issue than anything. It’s happened in Polish articles many times before.

Back to the fun bit: What’s that yellow card? “— shot” sounds like a talent, but would the Xi or the LAAT have a talent slot? Fanatical Xi is a crazy idea to me. Maybe it’s a generic gunner at last?

Seems to be something about primary attacks, and if the target is in your bullseye you can change die results.
