Imperial Assault Campaign one - EP2 - The Spice Job

[@matiasnl]

Loving the content so far! At 19:00, a character cannot use a special ability that would cause them to take strain if they’re at the endurance limit. You can’t voluntarily take damage instead of strain.

I really enjoy the quality of your videos. They are very well done, and I enjoyed the second mission so much. Excellent music, camera action, nice addition with the sound effects and one liners of the characters. If you don't mind I'd give you some rules clarifications though. First one is not a rule, but Diala is not DAlia, and Trandoshans are not TranSdoshans. :) 4:50 Diala doesn't need the Reach for that attack, Nexu is right next to her. Diagonally adjacent isn't disturbed by the black wall. 5:47 (Strategy) The Nexu should have used Pounce, that way it could have attacked that round. Also if you want to use it to roadblock, it should have moved right in the middle of the doorway, that way the rebels cannot move diagonally around it. 6:08 and 6:18 (BIG one) The Nexu's Cunning ability gives it one more block for each evade, so that attack should have been only 2 dmg and then 1 in the next. 7:44 When you do a movement action you get Movement Points equal to the Speed. When you moved with Chewie he spent only 2 MPs, and he could have spent the other 2 after he defeated the Nexu. 7:53 Nexu's Cunning ability again, 5 -> 4dmg but it still would have been fatal. 8:52 (BIG one) When a character gets MPs outside their activation, they have to spend it immediately or they lose it. This might have moved Jyn into a better position to use Quick Draw. 8:56 Fenn doesn't have to go through Chewie's space, as he could have moved diagonally at the door, saving him 1MP. (Though in this scenario he couldn't have spend it) 9:07 You can decide to use Havoc Shot DURING the attack, as the skill says "while attacking". Before the attack skills say "when you declare a target". 9:48 Jyn moved through a wall. Even with the extra 2MP-s from Fenn, she should have ended her movement one difficult terrain earlier. 11:05 (BIG one) Figures belonging to one deployment card cannot spawn on different points. (I'm like 80% sure about this.) 11:44 Diala had 1MP left. (Sry if you knew but didn't want to spend) 12:04 Jyn's Quick Draw activates at the start of a figure's activation, not before an attack. (Technically not a mistake here, as you activated her at the right time, just wanted to clarify for another time.) 12:33 (BIG one) In this mission the correct way is to place a mission token grey side up after killing the Trandoshans or the Probe, and it's a 1 in 3 chance to find the key. (Sry if you did it this way for dramatic reasons.) 12:43 You forgot the Hunter's Relentless skill. Gaarkhan should have suffer 1 strain. 13:46 (BIG one) Jyn did 2 dmg to the droid, as the Surge ability was +1dmg, Pierce 1. Meaning the droid would have died at the next attack. If I counted correctly. 15:09 Hired gun had 3MP left, should have gone back. 19:00 (BIG one) A hero cannot use a skill if they're maxed out on strain. Also cannot choose to take a damage instead of a strain, it only works if they're forced to take a strain but they are maxed out. 24:06 When an elite ally has to do an attribute test it counts as an autmatic 1 success. (Like they rolled 1 Surge.) They don't use their attack for the test. A non-elite ally's attribute test is an automatic failure. 24:41 (Strategy) The E-web should have shoot at Gaarkhan to wound him because only healthy heroes can retrieve the canisters, and Chewie was already done for the round. It could have changed the final outcome of the mission. Sorry if I sound like nitpicking, I really enjoyed the video, keep them coming! Good luck!

This covered everything I saw as well, except for one Strategy feedback for Gaarkhan - Movement points and moving spaces are not the same thing, so Gaarkhan's charge movement is not impacted by things like difficult terrain and moving through enemies. That makes him really valuable on this map and even a Nexu in the door wouldn't be able to stop him.

[@T-Rex0711]

As an imperial player, I find comments like these SO helpful.

[@Eldar7431]

14:02 Yes, he misscalculated, would have done 3dmg, not 2, would deffinitely have killed the droid.

[@finncullen]

These particular Trandoshians might be Transdoshians, but I don't think their gender identity was significant in the mission

[@legomech1946]

I absolutely loved the mission opening with Chewie assaulting the Weequay! These are so much fun to watch. Please keep them coming!

[@MarcusKMr]

Another rather excellent episode, I´Am a little bit sad that i didn`t discover your Imperial Assault videos earlier

[@ncluff]

Subbed because of the Imperial Assault plays. Great work. Fast, Fun.

[@MultiLork]

Superb présentation, very immersive !

[@Colaris99]

Nicely painted mini's!

[@paulnolin862]

I really like your style in this series. Looking forward to more. Thank you!!

[@stephengilbert8166]

More, more, more. Absolutely fantastic.

[@THEBLEEPUPPODCAST]

Editing episode 3 as we speak... Lee

[@stephengilbert8166]

Oo FANTASTIC stuff.... can`t wait :-))​@@THEBLEEPUPPODCAST

[@berndkoehler2126]

This is really well done. Keep it up!

[@Sadinar]

Love the editing in the videos! Couple rules things: When Fenn grants an ally movement points at the start of his activation, that ally must spend the points immediately or they are lost. Make sure the count movement in difficult terrain properly. All squares inside a blue border are difficult terrain, even if the square itself doesn't have a blue border because it's surrounded by other difficult terrain squares.

[@Anduguswhm]

Excellent work. Thank you.

[@clairegoulet927]

At 14:04 why didn't the probe droid take 3 damage? wouldn't pierce make the bonus damage go through?

[@blakecarson6555]

This is really high speed. I love that you create a dramatic video from the game. When I played it felt very board gamey, but this is more of an audiovisual storytelling treat. PS your imperial threat parts of the videos read "imperial treat".

[@mattnutter8943]

Yay!! Always help the Wookie

[@1RobW]

The Nexu should of had an attack when instead of moving you should of used the 'pounce' action to move 3 squares and then perform an attack.

[@c-bass9367]

Really glad to see this keep going

[@patrickah-yu8481]

Great videos, I appreciate the production value, and I love the painted figures. I need to find someone who has that kind of talent to paint mine. I'll admit I'm pretty new to the IA universe, but with strain, my understanding is that a hero cannot use a strain ability if their endurance is maxed. So Diala's defence re-roll wouldn't have been possible. A hero cannot choose to suffer strain if the amount of strain the hero has suffered would exceed their endurance. This includes suffering strain to gain movement points or using abilities with a strain cost If an effect forces a hero to suffer strain that exceeds their endurance, the hero instead suffers one damage for each strain the hero cannot suffer. So I read that as the strain the Trandoshan would inflict from his ability, while attacking within 3 spaces, would force damage if endurance is maxed, but you can't choose to 'hurt' yourself to push movement or abilities until you reduce your strain level. Look forward to the next mission!

[@crumpuppet]

epic!

[@stuartrussell891]

loving these...proper IA fix..))

[@martinvoetman8717]

Thnx liked IT again!!!!

[@christopheredwards7195]

Glad to see the momentum on IA is still strong. Just one thing, you have a typo on the Imperial Threat screen.

[@verrezen]

That scenario is silly. Be surrounded, collect the bags and then just say ‘well, folks, we be going now. CU around.’?

[@mkeyte1976]

New to IA, if Garkhan takes 3 or more damage doesn’t he become focussed?

[@mikeglasswell-gameplay]

where did you get your sounds from? I built an App for tracking health, equipment, XP and kills. would love to add some voice lines

[@gabrielmnt4119]

Nicely done, but the name of the jedi is Diala not Dalia!

[@tylerthompson2207]

So many wrong interactions and rule fudging

[@DeDyson]

I'm learning how to play this, do you have any other playthroughs of this kind you would recommend which are spot on with the rules? I do like this video, I just want to make sure I learn correctly.

[@rinceart]

good video, but it makes me cringe every time you call Diala Dalia. Also, it is not transdoshan but trandoshan.
