Star Wars Legion Battle Report Episode 123: Republic vs Empire

[@amansairforce]

Entering the arena! From the right corner! You may know him as the "King of Salt" but, today he shines as the One! The Only! "NEW UNITS" DONNNNNN!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for the support

[@NicholasDixon502]

Don! I spoke this into existence with my comment from the last video! Not only did your dice show up, your new units survived the whole game! Awesome game. I feel bad that Joe had the standard Don experience (red save blanks), but it was a great game to watch.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

It was good for him to get a very solid win. Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@andrewclark5490]

I stumbled on your channel a few weeks ago and have been loving the content! I've always enjoyed stuff like this to help me learn mechanics and strategies outside of play time (which never seems to come often enough) and you guys do great stuff! I also love to see the new units. I think the Range Troopers will fit in well with my play style. Keep it up, yall!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks welcome to the channel and the game!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Welcome and thank you very much for watching! -Joe

[@davidluke6015]

What a great game! Those commandos are great, as are the range troopers. Losing Echo round one was rough, and that was an awesome tac strike. I’m glad I preordered two boxes of range troopers, these new units really shake things up.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

They are solid

[@dylanchamberlin5371]

I have been waiting for these new units (specifically the commandos) for years! Great to see them on the table.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

They are super cool

[@hbalcer]

Thank you for previewing the new units. Excited to try commandos in my army.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thank you for wasting! -Joe

[@kingbobb007]

Exciting to see you guys get new units to show the world. Even more exciting to see Joe roll some blanks!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

I liked that as well -Don

[@TristanBiffert]

Great battle rep as always! Great paint job on the range troopers Don!

[@brandonmiller3857]

Always good to see new units hit the board. Don, you finally managed to have a swing of the dice in your favor.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

It happens once in a blue moon

[@loganmann2127]

Super fun watch. Thanks as always for your great battle reports. New units are always fun.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thank you for watching! -Joe

[@JesterJesterJester]

Awesome game. Thanks for always showing off those new units in action, very excited for their official releases

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching

[@Charly-el]

I've been binging your videos the last month or so, now that my partner and I are getting into Legion, still we're figuring out which of the new units would be the best for starting And I completely love the battle reports filled with dad jokes and humor!!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Haha thanks welcome to the game

[@colonelcong]

I got a couple of those new units on the way so it was nice to see them go.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

They are solid new additions for sure! Thanks. -Joe

[@colonelcong]

@@graysquadrongaming8670 I've been making so many lists in anticipation. Shame I've just finished two more speeder bikes

[@Goldmace]

Many of the people I play with are very focused on "good/meta" and it brings me joy to see until that my group looks down on be active and doing things on the table! Sad the saber and Delta's could not make it to a win, though I agree with your points on the state of armor rn.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@glengoodwin3369]

Congrats Don! What a beating. Really enjoyed seeing those new units in action, can't wait to get me some commandos. For the Advanced Targeting wording, all I can think of is maybe future interactions between Advanced Targeting and Longshot? I dunno its pretty weird.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

That could be, thanks for watching! -Joe

[@DsHowe24]

Can’t wait to get these new units on the tabletop! The commandos look amazing

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

They are really cool. Thanks! -Joe

[@darrenrumsey3187]

Nice seeing the commandos on the table already! Messing with some proxies until I get my boxes.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

They are a lot of fun! Thanks. -Joe

[@grants565]

What a game! Love all the new units on the table top and excited to see curled paws Complete The Mission token as well. Don’s dice has definitely taken a turn for the better!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@calebtorrey9450]

Look forward to your videos every Sunday. Seeing the new units made me up my preorder. Thank you

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching

[@boardgamer1017]

Cool showing of the new units. I'm looking forward to seeing them in future videos! Complete mission is such a cool keyword.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

They will be back soon

[@matthewhearn8808]

Great dice game for Don! As a republic player it definitely stung a little seeing some of those red defence rolls. I’ve been waiting for these clone commandos since the clone core box dropped, so thanks for showing them in action! Definitely picking up a second box now

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

They are very strong

[@joshuataylor7213]

Thanks for showing off the new units. Great win, Don.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching

[@Tyrelp]

New units! Yay for the win Don! I am excited to get my own Range troopers and Commandos.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@holgerptacek3144]

Great game as always! So interesting to see the new units in action and not only stats on cards.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah for sure

[@XxSOURCREAMxX]

I do enjoy when new units take the field so excited to play some clone commandos myself

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching

[@logansett1400]

It was fun seeing all of the new units in action!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching

[@TokonF]

It's goods seeing Commandos and Range Troopers in action. I got a tourney coming up and I feel like I'm going to see a lot of them.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

There are 2 lists with them I think

[@GoldenVapor25]

Just found this channel and it's awsome! Keep up the good work

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Welcome and thank you! -Joe

[@mw2freak63]

Great video. Just picked up my first battle box

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Awesome! Welcome to the game and channel! Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@343omen]

Love seeing the new units can’t wait for them to come out will definitely be picking them up.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@michaelstubbs6642]

Glad to see Don turn his luck around. Sad to see Joe so upset about Cody, he's my boy. Vehicle lists are definitely not easy to play though, so I understand. Looking forward to seeing more of the new units in the future.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Cody is not bad but not as good as the Jedi options in the army. I like him better than poor Rex though. Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@acareatti]

I really dig the commandos! I may have to start painting some clones!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

They are a lot of fun! Thanks! -Joe

[@trabi9722]

Nice paintjob on the new Range Trooper Unit Don. Really enjoyed the game but I see the point with three units of commandos

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks I did try

[@Kraus989]

Don's dice finally showed up!!! I'm excited for the new units, especially the range troopers. Thanks for the preview and great match!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah they are good

[@calebkraus-tj9hw]

Great seeing these "New Units" on the board. Can't wait to see more action with these "New Units"!!!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

More to come

[@Dragites]

Great video. These new units really brought the pain. I am excited for more videos with these commandos. :)

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

They are fun

[@DirectorGash0001]

Great game guys! Nice to see Doms dice finally coming in. Excellent display of the new units.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

That was nice

[@ironjoebob7]

I'm loving the commandos. The more the better for sure. Since they all gain the benefits of all the priority mission tokens. Also, hq uplink goes hard on them. Great battle report as always

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching

[@AspireSeries48]

Loved seeing all the new units play!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

They are fub

[@hawkthetraveler6344]

great to see some new units on the board, Cody felt new too :)

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@Snivy121ee]

What a comeback for Don, really enjoyed this battle report. Poggle BUGS

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching

[@Snivy121ee]

Also, for Rex I was hoping that when they released clone commandos, that they come out with a new gear slot that allowed Rex to gain impervious, but now that’s not an option. Personally, they should give Rex another point reduction

[@kylecampagna722]

Pumped for these new units to come out! Pretty excited to get some new stuff.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@lariada92]

After seeing this great battle report, I'm very happy that I've already pre-ordered three sets of each of the new units

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

They are solid for sure

[@DeegoBix]

Cool seeing new units on the table. Man, those dice be diceing.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@PanicDonut86]

Thanks for highlighting the new units. Good game.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah they are fun

[@WaaaghPaint]

Been waiting to see these new units in action since they were announce. Nice job setting this one up, even if their bases weren't rimmed ;) (j/k)

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

lol, they ere the very next day :) thanks! -Joe

[@cedriczwerg6030]

nice to see the units on the field - especially the delta squad. i will definetly buy them as soon as they arrive in our store

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

They are strong

[@Steven-du2qn]

Hope to see more commandos in the future! At least squads of it would be awesome with the tokens! I’m assuming the aiming thing is for future proofing.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@ThePkk9278]

Congrats, Don! Way to work the new units.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks

[@andfunkable]

Thrilled to see the new units in action!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

They are fun

[@ironjoebob7]

The before measuring range thing on the range troopers is because of abilities like longshot. The wording is weird now. But it's for future proofing purposes

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

I guess

[@PAPAxHEAVY]

The new units look very promising! I can't wait to see what crazy combinations you guys can come up with using them. Definitely a rough one for the Republic, but all good fun at the end of the day.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah they will be fun

[@teamvalenstorm9686]

I like the new units. Already planning on buying 2 or 3 sets of commandos.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@adrianhaines9806]

Great video. Superb dad jokes for the new units!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching

[@jackmarshall5334]

It is great to see how the new units play , and what I can expect to come up against as CIS. As always gents, great video

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah they are solid

[@spiritmp5]

Out of the new units definitely the commandoes stand out!! Good game, nice rolling!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

They are going to be very good. Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@knutkey]

Don the painter!! Or maybe we should call him...Donatello!!:)

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Something like that haha

[@rmccleish]

Great to see the dice finally go your way Don! Hot dice and new units!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching

[@argonthecool1891]

Big fan of both paint jobs on the new units! I look forward to the next Bat Rep!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks we try

[@winters86]

Great game, Range Troopers are sweet. @48:29 I'm wondering what happened to the Supression on the Commandos prior to this activation they should have been suppressed with 2 suppression from the previous Range Trooper shot.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Delta squad has - courage so never get suppression. Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@nickhartung6941]

Dons dice finally showed up great game. I am so happy to see the new units play the Delta unit is going to be so deadly and the rang troops will be fun to use

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

The range troopers seem to be overshadowed by the commandos

[@cia6042]

Love seeing all the new units

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah they are fun

[@marlos199]

Already preordered some of these new units!! Cant wait to get my hands on them to paint them!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

They are good

[@johns9325]

Delta is the new unit I'm more excited about. Range Troopers seem fine. Good game fellas! I enjoyed it.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@zackduncan5219]

Love the new units! Can't wait to see the Bad Batch soon too! The bad thing about Don's dice this game is... He can't claim to never be able to kill clones again lol

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

I mean it is a fluke that happens sometimes -Don

[@JacobNaylor-zr2ln]

Great game, both units look awesome to use. That check range only just before firing is weird but i swore ive seen it used somewhere before. Maybe the commandos will hold me over till republic commando 2 comes out.....

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah for sure

[@jakescott9862]

It’s good to see don finally have good dice

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@mythicgames7683]

Was nice to see those new units!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

They are good

[@MattDoesGamess]

Cody is good to combo with an ISP comms relay. But he’s only good for chip damage or fire supports. He can absolutely delete armor if you do an RPS FS with him. But yeah, he’s alright.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah that’s true

[@matiasnl]

New to the game, what’s an RPS FS?

[@travisskane5459]

If Don had run Droids, you know not a single unit of Clones would have been removed from the board. Hey! #TeamDon got a shout out at 45:40! Thanks for the thoughts on the NEW UNITS at the end; unboxing and theory crafting are one thing, seeing them on the table is what we are here for. That, and the Dad Jokes.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching

[@blackcat_3254]

Great game, looking forward to trying out the commandos myself

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

They are solid

[@Kakuja1111]

New units a Don win and a great match? The force is strong with this one!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@JayliusCaesar]

Got to love the NEW units. Glad to see Don winning again.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for the support

[@charlesfox4449]

love the new units. thinking to try range troopers with dark teoopers

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

They will be very good together I would think. Thanks! -Joe

[@JamesWhite-jr9uy]

Those new units look great. Both units have beautiful models.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

They do look good

[@sgttucker225]

Glad to see Don's dice behaving this week and a bit sad to hear Joe didn't like Cody cause he is my man. I will say I didn't see any comments about the missed triggers but I know Cody makes stuff a little more complex with Armor but I love it with him. Definite recommend a double ATRT/ISP combo if you try again!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

I don’t dislike him but he is just not my favorite with the other good options in the army. Much better than poor Rex at the moment. Thanks! -Joe

[@sgttucker225]

​@@graysquadrongaming8670 ya Rex has me frustrated with how little value he has. Definitely wish he had Steady or something might help but I am not sure. I think the only change I would do to Cody is give him 1 more white dice. Thanks as always for an awesome battle report!!

[@PetersaberHD]

48:20 - wouldn't it have been better to keep the shield, pop the armour, and take the wound on the shield? Can you do that?

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

So it’s after wounds assigned, which means I would have had to roll for another wound. So imo no, the shield comes back every round you don’t have an order on delta so use it when you can instead of popping the one time armor. Thanks! -Joe

[@jackprowting9098]

Excited to see how people build around these new units, been wondering about delta squad and Obi Wan but can’t make the points work 😂

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah they are expensive

[@fballoqui]

Love the battle report!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@ebenscott1387]

Glad to see that don can win after all, cool new units too! great game!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah once in a blue moon

[@jordanennis4064]

Sweet to see the Commandos on the board! Wish they were painted like Delta. I have a soft spot

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Joes next set will be

[@V1ctoryGin]

What crazy dice! Fun game to watch nonetheless. Loved the new units, they seem a lot of fun.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching!! -Joe

[@sonofhorus82]

Nice to see the new units. Excited for the range troopers.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching

[@Ilostmycactus]

I think the new units are really fun, range troopers seem a little strong imo. Also, I don't think aayla had much purpose in this list unless you are really worried about suppression.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

She was there to help with suppression on the phase ones… but then she moved away from the phase ones lol. Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@austinprescott48]

Was so excited to see see the new units to be played. Cant wait for my commandos gg guys

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching

[@jase8806]

Turn 2, i was on the edge of my seat waiting for the inevitable betrayal of don's dice! Turn 4, im sitting staring in awe at don, beloved of the dice god!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah it happens one in a blue moon

[@gecko2306]

I usually feel bad for Don rolling nothing but blanks on his defense dice, but today, #TeamJoe, that was brutal lol. Still, happy for Don. This is how my games against the empire usually go lmao

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah, I just couldn’t get anything to work lol. Thanks! -Joe

[@keldonlarose9944]

Go Republic! Glad Don got a solid dub 😂

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

You and me both -Don

[@DerekEsc]

I'm excited for the new units especially the range troopers & the riot bois.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

They are cool

[@4Refros]

Love the purple paint scheme Don💜💜

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks it’s meh but it’s purple so it’s fun haha

[@4Refros]

@@graysquadrongaming8670 purple is best.

[@michaelcossette9810]

This new unit commando look really cool!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

They are solid

[@nathannicholson6032]

Love the bat rep, love the new units.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching

[@BrianDrumm-eb1cf]

Glad AMG finally started showing the Empire some love… 😅

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah right

[@happesushi]

The new units got me excited. Good to see the dice finally take pity on Don's generally terrible dice luck and give one back to him. The Range Trooper DLT is Impact 2, Range 1-5, not Impact 1, Range 1-4 like the Storm one btw. I honestly think its really solid, outranging armor units, its like the droid and clone rockets but without the exhaust or cumbersome and an extra range. I think it will be generally great into Darks as they have even shorter range than the tanks do, effectively being like mobile (albeit more expensive) FD turrets. As a big Rex fan, and having run him a ton, even at a tourney recently, I would agree, he feels really weak, only really having scouting party and his 1 pip going for him. As for Cody, I think he is extremely strong, but he really, really needs fire support, I love his 1 pip, his 2 pip is ok and his 3 is pretty meh imo. The 1 pip isn't entirely useless into darks, you can still just use the 4 observes as rerolls, effectively giving Cody 3 aims against them for free that round. I think if you are running Cody you should always have either a Clone Commander or a vehicle with a comms relay to have fire support options every round, I prefer an AT-RT with relay for his direct over a Saber tank with LTA tbh.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah good points there

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

We didn’t use the DLT on the range troopers, they had the suppressive gun. The death troopers had their dlt. Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@j.tscyre4004]

I can’t wait to try the new units

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

They are good

[@Jezter804]

Pretty awesome the Shick gave you guys so much stuff to give away. Also, it hurts to see so many blanks.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

It is very awesome

[@colonelcong]

I think the advanced targeting measure thing occurs in the declare defender stage. But I'm not entirely sure either.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

It does but why

[@isaacmackey1950]

Oh man, those red defense dice... ULTIMATE BETRAYAL right there. They were just not interested in showing up to work today. I can sympathize, Sun is our league day and I was sitting at around 15% red dice success rate. 🤣

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

That’s not good

[@scottserrato8169]

Fun game! Is the size of the Complete the Mission token the same size as a normal objective token?

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yes, standard size same as bomb tokens etc. thanks for watching! -Joe

[@AcoylteKraven82]

22:00- Wait…… I have no idea how I didn’t really notice this at first and you don’t actually mention it in the description….. but how many Clone Commandos units did you have at the start of the game? And are you trying to say this is a 800pts game?!? Because I’m pretty sure you said you had 3 Commando units in the start of this video!?! But I don’t remember hearing you say anything about the AT-RT (which I could have definitely just missed it!?! I was “kinda” watching this while I was at work painting! Which also explains why I didn’t see it until a few minutes before this time stamp! But once I saw it my brain went into high gear trying to remember how many you said you had)!?! I know you have at least 2, so that would make 3 support! Which is max!!! I don’t know….. not a big deal

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

We post the list on screen while we go over it. It is 800 point limit following all building rules :) I had one clone commando unit (delta). Thanks! -Joe
