Which Version Are We On? Star Wars Legion Version History and Explanation.

[@jamescampbell863]

Thanks for the video (great as always!). Personally I have enjoyed version 1.0 with the core edition. This is where me and buddies started and got into the game and whilst we added the errata cards and changes - I haven’t been able to invest any time into the lastest edition with 2.5. I know that tabletop games regularly update - but honestly it takes time to learn and master a game and with so many possible factions and minis that can be used, until a clear and clean version is released I am not really interested in learning new rules only to find that adjustments are being rolled out to adapt these in 6 month periods. I will hold off on playing new version with friends until we get to see the full version coming. I am reluctant to spend more money on adapter cards until I can fully understand what the new version of the game plays like and all changes are established for a time.

I also agree that 2.6 should be considered a “new edition”. The gameplay is different enough, the objectives have changed, etc. One aspect of the new rules set (2.6) I have appreciated is the “faction identity” push they have been making and a ruleset that makes various factions viable. I took a break from tournaments for a while in the previous rule set after the token sharing nerf to GAR a few years ago because the points increase + token sharing nerf basically made all of my GAR builds unusable. So much of the old scenarios benefitted massive activation lists which GAR struggles to do. (I switched to rebels because they were one of the few factions I could list build how I wanted and still remain competitive). I’ve played a little of version 2.6 and it feels more balanced in the fact that you can still have a good chance to win even if you have a high upgrade, low activation list.

Appreciate the history and does make sense. Im sure AMG will be happy when they finish rolling out all the new stuff for whatever section we're in.

[@severindrax]

The problem with the GW style rolling rules updates is that it is extremely easy to get rulesets mixed up, especially in the heat of battle, and end up doing things "the old way" which leads to confusion all round, and in a tournament setting could be mistaken for actively trying to cheat.

[@shaunkrogulski9619]

I believe AMG has stated in interviews that after all the cards have been refreshed they will call it Legion 3.0

[@Crabbok]

The closest I've heard is that they had said that 2.6 probably "Should have" been a 3.0, but yeah I hope that ends up being the case.

[@shaunkrogulski9619]

@Crabbok That could be what I was thinking of

[@jnkthurman857]

I wish they had treated X-Wing with more care.

[@bobbyp5059]

This helps

[@Dindolmer]

I don’t recognize this game at all anymore. Miss the FFG days!

[@rabbitsecurity5296]

Bro I’m the same I supported this game for years I own nearly every miniature and with all the updates and new rule books I’m very close to being done with this game. It’s too much to keep tabs on they almost expect you to dedicate your life to this one game

[@star_wars_miniatures]

@@rabbitsecurity5296it has gone in a very weird direction 😢

[@star_wars_miniatures]

Me too! Not the direction I would have taken the game at all!

[@GeneralHomsar]

13:02 If Asmodee hasn't called any of it new editions yet, I doubt they will call the new changes 3rd Edition.

[@sirsully]

Legion is clearly on a new addition even if AMG / Atomic Mass Games doesn't want to call it a new addition. But whatever. We can still play so it doesn't really matter.

[@TarzanBoyLesgo]

I just hope this game doesn't turn into 40k. Became interested in it exactly for what it had to offer that was different to it.

[@johnduval760]

The trouble with defining editions/versions of a game is that you have to snapshot what is available for use at each particular edition/version.

[@OKTabletop]

My friends and I are just playing with the previous rules until AMG actually releases some physical card packs etc

[@Ironbudha23]

Clear as mud. Lol. Hopefully 2025 will bring better things to Legion

[@star_wars_miniatures]

There’s still so much missing from this game 😅 if it was me I’d make a long list of all the missing Jedi and just make them!

[@WyattHarra]

Hoping for gungans 2025

[@star_wars_miniatures]

That would be awesome getting official models for them! I have seen many 3D printed ones

[@OKTabletop]

Also wish that they would reduce the number of keywords

[@getdraino]

Very comprehensive explanation! So, if one has bought nothing and is looking to get in, what would be the best way to get started? Would waiting for the 2025 "3.0" update and all of the different reprints be best (especially if there is no hurry for the person to start collecting)?

[@Zweihaender]

Just buy a starter and play with what in the box to learn the basics, don’t take the joy of the game away from yourself by waiting another 6-9 months.

[@Zweihaender]

It looks like the game is going to stay very much the same anyway

[@And-c7n]

Version 3 will be the April 2025 version with the updated cards.

[@Crabbok]

I do hope they push the rulebook version info to 3.0

[@josephmoberly2109]

I feel like the community has slowed down a lot and is just waiting for the rest of the changes…

[@adrianhaines9806]

I like the recent updates and that they are committing to updates, but I think this goes back to a point you made earlier this year. The updates being pushed through without full testing and feedback not being allowed (I use the term allowed on purpose). so you end up with lots of incremental updates post launch....or am I bang out of order??

[@PersonlApocalypz]

It’s AMG version 2.0.

[@mattlberge]

In AMG's defense, at least when Legion came out with the revisions at least the upgrade parts were print and play, unlike X-wing that required purchase for much of it.

[@MrMccoy1981]

Big Fan of 2.6 less a fan of 2.6.1

[@garethhuwwilliams6019]

Just call it 2.0 move on. Let’s get those card packs out ASAP

[@zakaryperrin7126]

I’m definitely gonna hold off until everything is complete
