"I'm not a dice box" killed me😂

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

It did me too, thanks for watching! -Joe

My doctor advised me to get the SALT out of my diet… I told her I don’t want to stop playing Legion… 😂😂😂

Good to see the Republic still cuts through droid armor like it was a chunk of salt. lol

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

They have the history, thanks for watching! -Joe

[@Pappa_Palpatine]

Classic GSG match. 😄 Lots of Crits, Salt, and Sass. I will say, that I appreciate how even though this is episode 121 you still offer explanations for keywords, there are so many that at times it's a lot to process, so thanks gents! look forward to the next one.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

We try to be consistent and new player friendly

[@specineph]

Already pre-ordered those commandos. Thank you for showing the card info, I hadn't seen that yet. Looking forward to those ARF troopers and new resculpts for Obi-Wan. May the salt be with you!

Can’t wait to get them on the channel! Thanks for watching. -Joe

dark troopers brushed away like salt in the wind, well done

[@NicholasDixon502]

Woof. Don's red saves are brutal. As a fellow red save failer, watching all those GAV saves come up blank hurt to watch. Blew right through that armor. All salt from that roll is 100% valid. 😂

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

It was 100%. Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@danielphelps2138]

Salty tears indeed. Brutal game. I’ve not seen Dark Troopers evaporate like that since I repeatedly chased a Dianoga into them. Really excited for the new stuff. Especially the Clone Commandos and Bad Batch.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Can’t wait for the clone commandos and Bad Batch! Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@zackduncan5219]

You know when you look at the video length and it's under an hour that the salt will be flowing heavily... I've never seen Dark Troopers melt so quickly. It was truly remarkable. I almost want to think that you use negatively loaded dice for Don just to make funny videos lol Clone Commandos look amazing btw

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

lol we use the same dice sadly it’s just bad luck’s he will break it soon. Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@CanistSyaoran]

Awesome to see the tank again! I know those red dice didn't show up, which made me cry salty tears, but it was fun to see the tank again.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

It’s always good to see units that aren’t common

[@rogerdaene5840]

Great game Many thanks. Love it when the salt king's dice go cold.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching, but not a fan of my dice being cold -don

[@Kakuja1111]

Even tho Don isn’t a dice box and didn’t want to play after turn 1 I still was rooting for him! Great vid guys! Salty tears for those dark troopers!

I am so happy they are bringing so many new units to the game I am making don crying sounds

[@chrissorrentino794]

Another glorious day for the Republic! Sorry to see so many blanks Don...I too would've had many salt tears from that one. Maybe if Ani would've went down you could've at least had a constellation prize.

Maybe

FWIW Echo couldn't trigger tactical on the climb onto the building as it's not a standard move.

They need to change that, too many things proc and don’t proc off of climbs lol. Thanks for watching! -Joe

Salty tears to grow the crown of the salt king! Fun game to watch, fire support can be brutal. Definitely love that Iden alt art card. She's my buddy's favorite hero to run.

Good luck and thanks for watching

Mr. Don, please toss some salt over your shoulder or anything to get those defense dice to behave!

Can’t hurt to try, thanks for watching! -Joe

😂😂 poor Don. I couldn't help but just bust out laughing multiple times. I feel you don. I'm sending energy for a future don spirit bomb.

I saw Clones and I knew it was going to be yet another tough one to watch for #TeamDon. I guess I'll have to talk to the folks in the Graphic Design department about getting all the branding changed to include the word "Salt".

I love how all of their games is just Josh apologizing for how crazy his dice rolls are and how sad Don's dice rolls are.....

lol it’s Joe :) but it is not all but has been a streak of fire for my dice and cold ice for poor Don. Thanks! -Joe

[@darrenrumsey3187]

Love watching your guys videos! Just an FYI tactical does not trigger off of a climb actions. Only Steady, Relentless and Charge do. Tactical and agile do not.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

You are correct! Thank you for watching! -Joe

[@mikeiamwtf]

Is nice!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@Tyrelp]

I think Don need some dice made out of salt, that way when they fail him he can smash them to teach the other dice a lesson

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@Gusmil89]

@23:58 Tactical do not trigger from a non-standard move Action like climb. Knowledge for your next game.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

You are correct, they really need to make it more streamlined with what triggers off of a climb lol. Thanks -Joe

[@TheBarrelbear]

Good to see the Don defence dice back. I was beginning to think he'd been replaced by a clone from the rolls of the past few weeks.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

lol, thanks for watching! -Joe

[@brynhill7141]

Our Salt Kings salty tears come in tiers based on how many blanks he rolls........ must have been a top tier weeping when that tank save was rolled😂😂

There was much tears

Trying to workshop an Imperial Remnant list, so it was cool to see Dark Troopers and Gideon in action, but seeing the salty tears has me rethinking things

We try

[@boardgamer1017]

That was a salty dice roll for the tank.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yes it was

[@ironjoebob7]

Crazy defense rolls here. Salt tears indeed. Commandos look amazing! Can wait to see delta. My guess is they will be able to ready 1 upgrade card when they activate. So they dont have to recover to get the gun back. Playing my first game with them today. We will see how good 3 squads of them are

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah it would be interesting to see

[@davidluke6015]

The salt level here approached Crait levels, but it was still a fun game to watch. That AT-RT should have gone down at least a turn earlier than it did. Thanks!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

For real it lived much to long

[@mrgoose6998]

love the vids guys

[@enghill]

Dark troopers are so cool!!!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

They are especially when they roll saves

[@Tw1tch93]

Let's add a unit that is even harder to kill for 75 pts and give them great weapons. I have no salt whatsoever for Republic gameplay at all lol.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

lol, thanks for watching! -Joe

[@mro1099]

Salty tears. I don’t think with the clone commando armor upgrade a shield can be used after you use the special armor. Shield applies during the modify attack dice step and assigning wounds happens after comparing results

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

You are right, you would use shield first then roll dice then if you take more the one dmg you could use the armor. Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

You are correct there -Don

[@kingbobb007]

Who set the salt level to “Joe plays solo for this turn?” While I enjoy seeing Dark Troopers get junked, this was still hard to watch.

I felt bad as well tbh, hopefully his streak snaps soon! Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@ray.larose]

Good looking set up today, guys - your dice behaved a ton better than mine over the weekend. Got me all salty. And gotta say, those orange bases are freaking awesome on all the units today. Where are those from?

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

It’s the regular legion bases, then I paint the orange fire… then add the crackle mars texture paint from citadel, then light dry brush of an orange. Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@brandonmiller3857]

And the Salt must flow! Nice match gentleman. A question though...did I miss the wounds in round three on Gideon after he embarked? The Gav is an open transport and I am fairly sure the tank had two attacks where wounds got through, Gideon shiuld have taken 2 wounds prior to him being thrown clear in that crazy 9 crit, nearly all blank red defense shot from Anakin.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

This is not correct. That was the old original rules about 2 years or so ago they updated how open transports work. You can chose to shoot the transport or the unit on it etc. thanks for watching! -Joe
