Star Wars Legion Battle Report Episode 14: Bright Tree vs Experimental Droids

[@carloluigid2104]

42:46 "Those rebel troopers are just holding really still." 😆 As a rebel player, I know too well what it's like to hold my breath all the time, hoping my opponent doesn't point his guns at my suddenly out-of-cover units...

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Haha right

[@blakefoltz5872]

Love all the Lego comeos, thanks for all the content!!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thank you for watching! -Joe

[@Steven-du2qn]

love the yub nubs, glad someone close is able to provide some when you don't have enough so you are able to show them off on the channel (thx brian). maybe one day i can get some myself.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

I need to get more painted myself. I have 7 full units painted which was good before the introduction of large units. Thanks. -Joe

[@gothound9479]

42:74 Ah yes, the famed "T-rex protocols"

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Right

[@PAPAxHEAVY]

Congrats on the subscriber numbers and a shout out to Brian for always having your guys' back with the spare units to borrow! Great game guys! The sheer number of yub nubs alone was enough to control what you needed. It reminded me of the 112 B1 game with all those activations. I'm curious which would win if those two lists went up against each other. I saw in the comments that you guys are doing another Halloween episode this year and I'm excited to see what spooky shenanigans you guys come up with. That also has me wondering if you guys are going to do a fall/winter tournament this year. Keep up the great work!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Halloween episode for sure. Winter cup is a possibility but not sure as of now. Thanks! -Joe

[@battlereadygaming]

That low profile on the Yub Nub boys. Wow. Incredible. Also Joe's TMNT shirt is rad.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks, love that shirt :). -Joe

[@connorhansen1640]

Great to see the Yub nubs out in force. I have played around with Bright Tree on TTS, they're super fun to play. Sympathies to Don, they are so hard to get rid of. Thanks for the bat rep, and congrats on the approach to 10k!

Love seeing the dual snails get some screen time. The yub nubs always make me think "they're in the trees!"

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Haha right

[@Mdhneo007]

Man this game has changed. One of the first battle reports for me since version 2. Nicely done, good job to the horde for hording well.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching, watch episodes 1-3 of the new legion battle reports, we explain a lot as we play. Thanks! -Joe

[@DavidBerkheim]

Good game guys! nice job with the Yub Nubs Brian.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching

[@benc8738]

You can take Leia and command the force, you just have to play the command card "Beautiful Friendship" which I believe permanently gives her the ability to issue orders to BTV, but I could be wrong on the permanent part. I have heard both ways.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

It does not, you can issue one bright tree at range one of a rebel unit and order. Also this does not help with exemplar unfortunately. Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@joshuapicaro8726]

Hon and C-3PO is a good combo because you do reckless diversion near C-3PO and now you have low profile target your opponent must attack and with esteemed leader your hub numbers can block the shots into Hon. Unless this got updated in 260

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

That is true but also if C3p0 is near bears he can guardian well. Thanks! -Joe

[@BrianDrumm-eb1cf]

Happy to help! Great match up

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks again

[@acareatti]

Shoot our to Brian for helping out with the Yub Nub models!

[@Kakuja1111]

Shout out to Brian for bringing the extra yub nubs and snails for this battle! Love those custom POIs from Curled Paw and great video guys! Always kewl to see some teddy bears and ex droids. Are we getting a spooky battle report for Halloween?

Want to start a Ewok Army next month. Was nice to see how they play in the game =)

They are a lot of fun and play very different from others. Thanks! -Joe

[@benr1956]

Loved seeing the yub nubs in action. Great content as always

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

[@ironjoebob7]

Excellent game. I've always wanted to play ewoks but can't bring myself to buy and paint like 12 boxes of them. Haha.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching

[@isaacmackey1950]

Not sure why Wicket with a pokey stick has the same attack profile as Din with a BESKAR spear (better even since Din has to spend an aim for the pierce...) but I guess that's just the power of the YUB NUB. Also hoping they give another look at Call to Arms in the future, the two limit seems balanced for old 800 pt Legion rather than the current edition.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Din can get P2 with 3 blacks 2 red so he still wins. But wicket is solid for his cost. I would line to see a third call to arms allowed. Thanks! -Joe

[@adrianhaines9806]

End of round 1, that board was crazily full! All hail Brian for supply the extra yub nub!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks he is great

[@zackduncan5219]

Yub Nub! Ewoks are surprisingly lethal. Especially the Slingers. This was definitely a war of attrition. C-3PO definitely needs a good rework with New Legion, in both the Battleforce and his Detachment to R2-D2. I wish as well that you could just take Ewoks. They might also need to update Exemplar, or give Leia a Battleforce-specific Unit Card

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

I agree with your points, Leia should be able to help them. Thanks! -Joe

[@killiandebrucker1447]

yub nubs yubbing to victory. the droids got beaten down by their own strategy... overwhelming armies. this was really an interesting match to watch. and so good information of the power of the both armies.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Thanks for watching! -Joe

[@JayOttawa]

Great game guys. Still tough to rationalize ewoks throwing ten black dice…

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Idk, they took down the empire in Return of the Jedi. ;). But they don’t surge and are extremely squishy…. Killing a few takes dice away quickly. Thanks! -Joe

[@JayOttawa]

@@graysquadrongaming8670 haha very true and thematic!

[@nicholashancock8729]

Needed at least another 30 ewoks for an even more clamorous Yub Nub. Seems like spamming cheap large units is the path to victory. So we need Gungans to do a horde list with Republic. Good game, can't wait for the next Legion BR.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

I can’t wait for some gungans! Also I think making sure your list has ways to deal with large trooper units is a good thing to have in case you go up against it. Thanks! -Joe

[@glengoodwin3369]

Ewoks are pretty good at contesting objectives it seems.

[@holgerptacek3144]

Thank you for the yub-nub-bat-rep. I really like that you don‘t lay music over the action resolution during the turns. I sometimes have to stop watching other channels‘ reports because I can‘t stand the endless suspense-n-action-loops anymore. 😵‍💫

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

We try

[@danielphelps2138]

Yub nub eee chop yub nub ah toe meet toe pee-chee keene g'noop dock fling oh ah Pretty brutal alternate Battle of Endor. But enjoyable. Thanks for showing off the battle forces. With Bright Tree, I think the only reason you bring Leia is to get a double shot with Chewie’s AT-ST with his 2-pip. And that’s not really worth it in many cases.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah

[@JoshuaFinch-j8l]

I love the B2 battle droids. They are impossible to find under $90 sadly, but some day I want to get my hands on some

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah but they will be rereleased soon

[@admiralcalvert]

I'm glad to see an ewok win! YUB NUB! Just FYI: both the snail tank's first shots had High Velocity so you shouldn't have been able to spend dodge tokens during those attacks. Wouldn't have changed the outcome of the game but 3 or 4 more ewoks would've been dead.

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

The main weapon isn’t high velocity so unless I just used the shells it would not be high velocity

[@shawnx17]

​@@graysquadrongaming8670 High energy shells have high velocity too

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

It does but HV has to be on all weapons to get the benefit form the attack.

[@shawnx17]

@@graysquadrongaming8670 I was thinking of the wrong tank, my bad

[@kingbobb007]

Love battles where either way, someone(‘s minis) win! EXD is still good, it’s just not far and away the best CIS list to run anymore. Joe’s cover saves were insane this game and really made it hard for Don to wipe out units. Objectives favored the Ewoks a ton here. Yub nub!

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

Yeah I still suck at turn 0-Don

[@benc8738]

Have you guys played the "Chad-Batch" yet? I feel like you guys have had them on but I dont remember the match or how they did...If not, I play rebels, but even a republic Bad-Batch would be cool to see!

Cry yub nub and unleash the bears of war! Fun game, though I think ExD does better without tanks. Activation disparity isn't great, but two beefy B2s can be a wonderful equalizer.

The B2 units are beastly. Thanks! -Joe

When the Slingers attacked the Snail Tank, you mentioned Primitive reducing Crits to Hits, but then roll 3c 1h, and check cover for only 1. Shouldn’t the crits downgrade to hits, and check cover for 4?

[@graysquadrongaming8670]

I was saying I wasn’t going to hit the tank do to that. I then switched targets and say who in the dice box I believe. But yes that’s how that would go if I shot armor with them which is not a great idea. Thanks for watching! -Joe
