I played my 6th game of Legion yesterday. Had a great time watching my opponent annihilate my gun line with Operative Vader and then detonate his Palpatine bomb. It was actually a surprisingly close game, because we were playing sabotage/repair the vaporators. If I'd been a bit more careful with Boba, then I could have got some wounds off a third one one and probably won. Loads of stupid things I did wrong, as usual. For example, I chose to ignore Vader, as he approached in the open, and tried to shoot my opponent's eweb, storm troopers and snipers that were all in heavy cover. Dumb. Got overly fixated. EWEB. MUST. DIE!!!

Anyway, to the point of the post. I picked up another box of snow troopers in the store, because I like to spend something when I've used their facilities. Then I "accidentally" won an eBay auction for Bossk...This leaves me with a fun sounding list that I thought I might try out. To whit: generic officer, Boba Fett & Bossk, 2 x shore troopers, 2 x mortars & 2 x snow troopers. I'd probably put improvised orders & electrobinoculars on the officer. The shores would have comms officers (need another specialist box, dammit) with hq uplink & targetters and the snows would be armed with a flamer & frag grenades. Using all 6 of the bounty hunters' cards leaves me with very little order control, but a lot of fun options. I've tried to minimise the lack of order control by only having corps choices outside of Double Trouble & the officer. With improvised orders I'd at least have a chance to ditch an unfavourable random order up to twice a turn (by recovering with the officer).

Googling around, double bounty hunter seems to have been de rigeur once-upon-a-battlefield with it long having fallen out of favour. Does anyone have any tips for running such a list? Better options for the accompanying corps choices? One thing I could do is ditch the additional snow troopers in their squads and try to swap the generic officer out for Veers, after losing some upgrades (like hunter & recon intel on the hunters), but I'm not sure he's worth it if I'm not using any of his cards. I've not got the hang of setting up Boba's plays the turn before, so it might be overly ambitious to add in Bossk who really wants to go last/first as much as possible. On the other hand, two bounty tokens up for grabs sounds fun! Can they both go on the same target? Can the same bunter claim both? (whether on one target or two?) Am I just barking up the wrong tree?

I'll probably go on to ignore all the good advice telling me to stick to a list that's simpler & I've had some practise with for a while. But there's a local tournament in March & I might just give Double Trouble a 3 game airing. How badly could it go?

Cheers,
