Great commentary! Really enjoying this. The half rounded building that can have the radar or computer station on top is called "The Tech Shed" in the assembly instructions. The other building in the core set is called "The Vent Building." Not exactly fantastic names that can be easily remembered.

Wow, great commentary and such a tight game! It is a testament to the game`s well design when the winner is crowned by one activation ( and it could have been a different story if that same activation was played in a different order by Kenny). I`m thoroughly impressed by the resilience of the Spectre team despite Eiden`s onslaught. So much to unpack, I will have to watch it again. This game was also a showcase of how "revenge" lists lose efficiency if their prime pieces are forced to hold objectives and can not move at leisure even when their triggers happen. Positional play at such a high degree was a joy to watch. This brings another question to mind, wouldn`t Dark Trooper be a more efficient choice for Spectre lists instead of Chopper? I recognize that if your other lists are Empire you want to have DT`s part of their strike force; maybe another non-rebel/spectre solid support such as 5th brother for or Clan Kryze?
@omnusprotocol3 күн бұрын
@@halilkardicali7738 I dont know if I would include Dark Troopers in the Kanan Hera version. I do prefer them with Kanan Leia because she can help move them. But obviously it gets hard because whats your other list and does it want DT's?
@halilkardicali77382 күн бұрын
@@omnusprotocol For the sake of this discussion, let`s pretend that our other half of the list does not have Empire, otherwise it becomes too difficult to argue to decouple them from there. Chopper has a lot of synergies that fire off Hera but the one body problem seems significant to me. Despite his "can`t be shot" ability he seems more like an attack piece to me, not a backyard objective camper. Rebel Commandos are also attack oriented units and not very resilient. I seem to miss a solid two piece support unit. Maybe Clan Kryze?

However, after hosting 17 tournaments i found that the rules that AMG has made feels much more fun than winning or losing on the clock. We have adjusted tha time so we play 2h and 15 min with mission critical starting at 1h and 30 min amd almost never have games end in time anymore.

Important: Bear Game 100% on Point. Less important: I do not feel equal time is necessary I think the game at it's design/development should be able to be played in the time they suggest even if there is 2 people playing the more complex lists. If it takes way more time for those additions to be played then it is probably not designed correctly for the game. Should there be some wiggle room in round times? If possible sure. Everyone wants to finish their games. That 4hr time slot sounds both wonderful and terrible that Aman mentioned lol.

As an MCP player who has never considered playing Shatterpoint, what is/are the biggest selling point(s) that would help me decide whether Shatterpoint might appeal to me? (Fan of only the original trilogy)
@omnusprotocol4 ай бұрын
1) The scale of Shatterpoint is slightly larger than MCP which is just fun to paint and cool on the table. 2) The game is much more about play the game than it is about list building and deployment compared to MCP. Those things still matter but they are less of a factor. 3) Its rare that characters leave the table, so you always get to do cool stuff with your favorite characters. They never leave the table before you get to activate them. 4) The dice system is really interesting because two characters can roll the same amount of dice but when Luke rolls dice, each success does more than one success from a stormtrooper. 5) The random order deck removes a lot of analysis paralysis. Its not about finding the perfect order to do everything, its about make the best play with that character when they come up in the order deck. This is something that turns people away but i really prefer figuring out the best play for that character than wasting time figuring out the best play for everyone that is left every activation. I hope this helps!
