Star War Battle Report Episode 111: Geonosis vs Rebels

[@Alkeseltze]

Seeing Geos out in a larger force is really interesting to see play out. They are so mobile but so fragile. Great bat-rep!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

They are fragile, but at least they surge defensively and can easily hit and run with their free movment

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thank you for watching! -Joe

[@isaacmackey1950]

Get some aggressive tactics going to help with surges for the mosquitos! They are pretty great, hoping this give Seps the edge they are needing.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

They are going to help for sure. Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@andrewmedeiros9546]

Another great batrep, you folks are my absolute go-to for Legion content. :)

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thank you very much! -Joe

[@NicholasDixon502]

Fun game! Was neat seeing the Geonosians on the table. Great work securing the W, Don!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

They are growing on me

[@timfisher3893]

Awesome game! The Geos were a great add into Legion! Don’s wish for surges was granted in an indirect way 😂 The Force works in mysterious ways

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching

[@killiandebrucker1447]

nice match to watch, thanks for showing the ulility of genosians. congrats for the win.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

They are a versatile unit

[@scottserrato8169]

Great game guys! Appreciate seeing the geos in action.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

They are great and fast for sure. Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@loganmann2127]

That map is amazing. I love the feel and the alleys. I wished I surged too.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

It is a fun map for sure

[@JesterJesterJester]

Awesome looking map! Always wish I surge as well

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thank you! -Joe

[@grahamcrackergaming630]

It was great to have you at the store champ! Congrats to Joe on the victory 😊

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

It was a great time. Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@marcogutierrez9339]

Great game and great table, the poster are a nice detail

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah it really is a cool table

[@OKTabletop]

Love the map, your tables always look awesome. Working on tatooine board for my games soon. Those dark troopers would be a grand addition!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thank you! -Joe

[@V1ctoryGin]

Fantastic batrep as usual! Love your guys stuff!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thank you for watching! -Joe

[@nickmorales9413]

I always love your guys' batreps. This terrain especially is amazing. One thing about the CIS list though, it lists B2 squads with B2-HA troopers and and regular B2 super battle droids but you mention T-series droids which cost 18 pts each and you put your list pts total at 805

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Hum I know the list is posted before the match starts but I’ve made errors before

[@danielphelps2138]

This really is a great episode. Seeing what so many fun units can do. I got my first game with Geonosians tonight. They are very fast and have a lot of firepower with that Sonic Cannon. But I was also in Don’s shoes, wishing my army had more Surging. And my Geonosians weren’t as survivable. Losing a squad to teddy bears was kind of embarrassing.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

That does happen sometimes, other times the bears blank hard as well. Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@PatrickM66B]

Love the videos keep it up! great back and forth between you!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thank you very much! -Joe

[@jgunz3300]

I wasn't too excited about the bugs but after seeing this I may have to rethink my position, even if they don't surge. Awesome video.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

There speed and flexibility is great. Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@XxSOURCREAMxX]

Holy moly that is an amazing board! I love the urban combat and the detail.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

It’s a fun one to break out occasionally

[@michaelstubbs6642]

Geos plus this awesome matt was just never gonna be fair. Love watching seppies win, great job Don!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks it was a close one

[@winters86]

Another fun game to watch. Thx gente.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching as always! -Joe

[@tristramwulfschlaeger5530]

That map is phenomenal. I wish I surged when I got dice rolls like those!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah you and me both -Don

[@humanshrek5137]

As my mama always said no need for surges if ya just roll crits 😎. Also thank you for the video, I wanted to see more how the Geos played and I'm planning on trying a proxy game tomorrow myself to get a feel for them

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

lol, thanks for watching!! -Joe

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Smart lady

[@Zeromus5555]

Congrats on your store champs win, Joe! I enjoy Don much more when he's playing. 😂

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks glad to be back rolling dice over talking -Don

[@philC42]

Love the Map enjoy how speedily you get through a game.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

It’s a fun map just hard to manage

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thank you! We try and and only show you the moves and attacks and cut out all the thinking in between turns. Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@Daan_Dubach]

Don: I wish I surged... Also Don: I rolled 3 nat crits on 3 dice... man my dice rolls suck 😢

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

lol, yup… lol thanks for watching! -Joe

[@JacobNaylor-zr2ln]

Nice win Don! Geos look fun to play but I'm so far off from getting around to them. Great game!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

I’ve really changed my mind on them. A free jump makes them beyond flexable

[@SamuelCormany]

Way to go Don! I was planning on trying Experimental Droids next for CIS, but maybe I will have to invest in some bugs. It does help them look good when you can roll that many crits, even if they don't surge!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

They are surprisingly good

[@user-zx7os2cz7z]

Love the map!! So excited to get my bugs!!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching

[@Sheyramsey]

That is a really fancy map

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks! It’s a lot of fun to play on. Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@cedriczwerg6030]

overall the dice gods did what they always do - swing around like Tarzan in the jungle. Going from 12 dice with 10 surges to 12 dice with 10 crits was a wild ride. But that shows again: don't surrender too early!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

That’s true

[@jesperkjr]

Man I wish I surged too 😊 Also, seems like you need two salt crowns now 😂

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah we do have a spare

[@gecko2306]

Pronounced Jacobs name right, AND got the win, everything coming up Millhouse for Don. Great game, the white crits were crazy lol

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks I try

[@jg10Stele]

Great battle rep. The geonosians are great.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@And-c7n]

Nice to see a crowded multi level urban board. Terrain variability and use is why I picked legion

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

It is a fun mat for sure

[@TomK_421]

Hope to see you guys at Adepticon!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

We will be there! Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@happesushi]

Map looks just as good as the last time. I like Lando a lot, Contingencies imo makes the more situational cards a lot easier to take. I do get that he is kinda like a Krennic in that he doesn't do a whole lot on the board for much of the game, he is more of a clean up unit than anything with his range 3 sharpshooter 2 pierce gun, but I think that, Ace and Contingencies makes up for his cost. Just maybe not Joe's playstyle

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

If he was 6 ish points cheaper I would be ok with that, but I rather take leia for much less with better support, and imo better cards overall. Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Maybe but you rarely see him in competitive lists -Don

[@hawkthetraveler6344]

@@graysquadrongaming8670 I never feel like I get to see Lando do anything in the batreps, not sure if its because his cards are too specific or if contingencies is just so good you want to play really conservative with him to feed lots of cards to din and boba

[@grants565]

The map looks even better the second time! Still wish I could surge like Don on that first round

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Haha thanjs

[@JayOttawa]

The dice have finally chosen Don! Great game guys.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching

[@OGmadmax4456]

Good to see Don get the W. The non-surge droids can be tough

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah thanks -Don

[@joshuaredling4590]

I like a lot of hokusas stuff, definitely one of the top designers in my opinion for legion models. Has some super cool shatterpoint scaled stuff too.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah I like a lot of his stuff as well!

[@nathannicholson6032]

Nice map and nice surges. Somebody tell Don he can’t be salty about a couple of bad attacks when he rolls that many crits. 😊

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

I can be as salty as the sea!-Don

[@sonnsobek7633]

Plase haw you make mise shot and jump back ? Its 3 actions no ? Thanks bros for question 🤝✌️

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Geonosis has a free action of jump 2. So they can do three action as long as one is a jump two action. Thank you for watching!! -Joe

[@sonnsobek7633]

@@graysquadrongaming8670 wow thans you mate

[@steelsteel10]

Where are the surges, are they in the room with us? Great game as always! Looking forward to seeing bugs on the table.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

They are fun

[@shadowscout0013]

I think the surges that don rolled equalled out the natty crits that you rolled 😂 you might wish you surged, but you did pretty well with white dice too

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah there is always more room to complain though haha

[@xtreas7169]

Really cool going to start watching more vids

I'm looking to start playing again. I haven't played since year one.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Welcome back it’s only gotten better

[@lasbulletv3]

i wonder how geos will shake the meta, they dont seem to be in armored lists, still vulnerable to sniper fire. Maybe more of a swarm unit with a big hitter behind?

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

The big thing is there speed… moving three times in one turn is crazy to grab obj or fet to points and score after being a ways away. Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@lasbulletv3]

with maul you'd have quite a speedy army

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Maul can only move twice though

[@tiesquad1991]

I love the t47 so much but I've stopped bringing it because it always gets mollywhopped 😅 glad to see that's par for the course for it I guess

Is that the misprinted Gar Saxion? I can’t tell but it looks like it says range 3 next to his pistol instead of range 2

8/9 surges is crazy! Imagine if he surged to hit or crit

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah it would be nice for sure

Those bugs almost make me want to get into the CIS. But I don't think they need to surge.

[@danielbungay8924]

Gg. I think commander luke gets a bad rap, I use him plenty with pretty good success. But I do agree with most of the post game talk, all but commander luke roll white defence dice (for rebel commanders), but if you compare them to empire commanders they all roll red defense. Moff Gideon towers above Lando, Han, Leia, Jyn and Cassian in terms of offense and defense for the cost.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah we’ve made that comparison a lot as well

[@danielbungay8924]

@graysquadrongaming8670 just from experience its disheartening when Han or leia gets one shotted off the board. 6 health white dice saves dosent hold up for a faction that is the most hero based

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

It is for sure, you really have to play with cover and dodges more but even then it depends on what shot is coming at you. -Joe

[@mythicgames7683]

I also wish I surged. Not just in legion, but in life.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Also true

[@Zeromus5555]

B2 either need surge to block or surge to hit. Point decreases wont fix them. I love them so much but they just arent worth the points compared to b1s. Seps are sadly the worst faction atm and I think the issue is they're not particularly great at anything. I honestly would love to see b1s go back down to 36 as well. That 2pt increase was necessary in 2019 but that was 5 years ago. As much as I think the bugs will help Seps at objective play they're still a white save corp that melts easily. Can I also say that outside Sun Facs 1 pip he isnt very good! Why doesn't his gun (the same as the Bug heavy) have Scatter? Why doesnt he have Pierce 1 or even Lethal on his gun to make it different? So bizarre. He feels more like a Melee unit but overall just feels unfinished. I also wish Poggle did a lot more than stand there and try not to die. Would have been really cool if he could give out 2 surge tokens like the t-series or maybe give out observe tokens as a non-free action? For the same cost STD just feels better.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Sun is more of an objective player than a hitter and he is very cheep. Poggle has a lot going for him with his command cards and key words. But could use a built in support

[@kylecampagna722]
