Star Wars Legion 501st Legion Battle Force Starter Set Review

[@matiasnl]

Love the video! Something to note. You cannot include 3 ARCs and 3 ARC strikes in one list, most you can run in 501st is 4 special forces units.

[@thedicegodswg]

That's correct, BUT the special rule for the 501st says that for every Arc you run, you may run a Strike Team without taking up a special forces slot. :) There's a copy of the rule in the video but you can also find it in the PDF linked in the video's description. Thanks for watching.

@@thedicegodswg The Battleforce PDF doesn't say you can exceed the cap on the special forces unit type. The special rules text just means you can only include a strike team in your list for every full ARC squad. You may include up to four special forces maximum, 2 Full ARCs and 2 Strike Teams or 3 Full and 1 Strke, thats the most you special forces you can run using the 501st Battle Force.

I feel like they should add the options for phase 1 clones for phase 2 just have motors be exclusive to phase two just to justify the the 8 more points(ps I haven’t played I’m starting to get into the game)

[@thedicegodswg]

Unfortunately, I don't think phase Is would match the shows.

[@TheScout115]

@@thedicegodswg I guess, from what I’ve seen getting phase 2 seems more like a waste, especially when phase 1 are cheaper and are better

[@thedicegodswg]

@@TheScout115 ​ totally. If I was going competitive, it's really unlikely that I would take Phase IIs over Phase Is, makes no sense. I get WHY the Phase IIs are in here, but you're right, it would have more teeth with the Phase Is. :)

@@thedicegodswg there’s a rumor that there might be a second edition of legion, maybe they’ll rework the phase 2

[@paulmurphy5376]

@@TheScout115 Phase II are actually pretty good, courage 2 and a surge token really does go a long way. You should retain the surge token for defense, but it means that they will surge to block on 1 of their defense dice, or another clone trooper unit can spend it. They really are a lot better than they seem.

Not for 150 bucks.... jeez.....
