That makes way more sense. Probably something similar to Veers' 1 pip.

Anybody want to translate the keywords on Maul's insert? The first one is translated by the interwebs as "Department: Maul," which I'm guessing is either Entourage or Retinue.
"To Solve" is Disengage somehow.
Divulge: Deploy Units Step
Incognito Token with a picture of K2-SO on it? I don't remember him coming with a token for it, but then I've also never played with him in person. Did he come with a token?
Infiltrate
Jedi-hunter
The big entry is the rules for "upgrade symbol required" which is for the Stance cards, which apparently require that you have a Force slot (I think it's a Training upgrade?) but don't take up that slot.

The mentioned keywords are:
Detachment: Maul
Disengage
Divulge
"Consume" (don't know if that keyword is already in the rules, it referrs to the "x" on cards that you can only use once)
Incognito Token: A new token that is supposed to mark if the "incognito" effect is still active on a unit
Infiltrate
Jedi Hunter
Observation Marker
Upgrade-Restriction: The text referrs to restriction like offensive/defensive stance, which is a force upgrade but can only be taken if you also have a training upgrade slot. The training slot can still be used for another upgrade in that case
Observation Token: During an attack, the attacker may spent Observation Tokens that are assigend to the Defender. For every Observation Token spent in this way the attacker may reroll 1 attack die. Observations Tokens are removed at the end of the round
So, GAR and CIS can take off-board attack command cards with any commander?
Balance...

Nice work on the translations!

Before you know literally anything is a bit early to be complaining that stuff is broken. If the cards issue only a single order (like to a Commander or something) but are 2 or 3 pip cards that would probably be enough to balance it out. CIS and Republic both want as many tokens out there as possible. Once again, before we know anything about the cards is not the time to start hyperventilating.
I'm not hyperventilating and I'm not saying it's broken.
BTW. for CIS a single activation is usually enough

Yes, but generally I believe they want the activation on a unit other than the commander.
Of course, it is also possible for the GCW factions to end up getting more new more new neutral cards in a later expansion.

I know, you were keeping it pretty non-inflammatory, but I kinda wanted to head it off at the pass before certain people show up. Regarding the activation, it being on the commander would be quite a restriction, as well as the fact that CIS's "perfect activation control" rarely survives a competent opponent unscathed.
Some things to take away from Maul based on the German leak (unless they left keywords off of his sheet):
Doesn't get jump, charge, relentless or master of the force (to be fair, he shouldn't have this one)
Doesn't Surge to Crit (otherwise Jedi hunter would be a duplicate ability)
Whatever he "Divulges" will not have a permanent effect
In light of that, I'm really curious as to what is going to actually go towards his cost (I could be wrong, but I thought he and Anakin were in the 160ish range from earlier interviews). Perhaps he will have the best melee pool in the game as a counter to the fact that he has to use his first action to close with the opponent?

They don't put all the keywords on there, just the ones that don't have reminder text on the cards. This usually means stuff on command cards and sometimes stuff on his unit card if it's packed full enough. Also, keep in mind there's an entire other unit in the box with him, so some of the keywords belong to them. I suspect he has Charge. Dooku is one of the few melee fighters without a move-attack ability, but it really suits him, and he has Relentless on a card.

If I remember right in crabbocks interview with luke eddy, luke said that Mauls lightsaber rolled 8 dice.

True, but Grievous already does that when he attacks the same target with both sabers. It will depend on the type of dice he gets to roll.
I always feel that you should Hyperventilate early, and often. Helps produce more CO2 for the plants.

I will sacrifice all of the plants in order to have a more enjoyable forum experience. We can all just eat frozen waffles.

The Imperial and Rebel generic cards activated everything but the Commander (1-pip was SF or Operative, 2-pip was Support or Heavy, 3-pip was Corps). The GAR and CIS 1-pips shown so far each activate 1 vehicle, so they are already different.

If Wasteland has taught me anything it's that mankind survives on the quality of our toasters
Their box art has been spoiled now as well.
So the one thing I noticed is that is Battlefront 2's story mission with Lando, so maybe Shriv will come one day. and I bet Kallus can do some nasty Melee with that weapon since it is also an electro staff.
