Star Wars Legion - Rebels vs Empire: The Liberation of Kashyyyk

The next episode of Star Wars legion is here. Nick's rebels commanded by Han Solo and Chewbaca lead a strike force to begin the liberation of Kashyyyk. Tak takes command of Iden Versio and a legion of Stormtroopers to stop the movement in its tracks!

I just showed up to learn the game because Nick you have so much fun with it. It is tough to play a game you don't know but I had fun! Except, I was a bit disappointed at the clear lack of phasers.

[@SJ-dv6og]

Well the best way to learn is to play more! Can't wait!

[@Matt-gs5yo]

No worries I’m just happy to see legion played on such an awesome table

[@boxsox8873]

Okie dokie =)

[@HyranicGaming]

Not that it matters too much, but Sabotaged Coms now restricts the opponent to one order with a command card, instead of minus one. Really well made video and match though!

[@codysanders4590]

Finally a high quality Legion battle report, please keep making more!

[@PlayOnTabletop]

We have two others on the channel and we do plan on making more

[@MijMike]

@@PlayOnTabletop absolutely loving them, there's nowhere near enough on KZbin. Please make more!

[@pufferfancyfish]

Do any of y’all know where I can find the background music at planning to host my own game

[@besaved2386]

First of all, that table looks amazing! A couple of rules things I noticed: -If you fire with multiple different weapons at the same target, you generally roll all the dice of that attack at the same time. The keywords count for all the dice of thst attack, not just the weapon they come with. -If you have a unit with a base with a notch at the front, that doesn't have reposition, you cannot just turn the unit. The speeder bikes for example actually have to drive “in circles“ and can't just turn where they are - Note: The At-ST generally isn't that scary because of uts weapons, but because it is soo hard to kill.

[@besaved2386]

A couple more things: -Jumping or moving over stuff, like barricades works a bit different than in 40k. -At 25 minutes, Tak removes a dead stormtrooper. In Legion, only minis can die that can be seen by the attacking unit. So for example if an attack would kill all minis in a unit but only part of the defending minis can be seen by the attacker, only those minis can die and the rest of the hits just dissappear.

[@besaved2386]

-At 28 minutes, Iden could have also used the standby to move away from Chewie -When Chewie charged ID10, due to unit consolidation rules, Iden had to move in base contact with Chewie as well, which would have changed a couple of things. Since Iden and Chewie would be in combat, neither of them could have been shot -Cover from suppression only counts towards ranged attacks (at 30 minutes) -When a Commander dies, the player has to nominate a new one, which then gets the rank of Commander and the respective order token -units can only be issued orders, if they are in range of the nominated commander or operative Don't like being a rules lawyer. But I really hope I could help. Still, awesome content as always!

[@katarhall3047]

If you're bringing AT-STs honestly you better bring something heavy on the other side, or it'll be incredibly hard to take down.

[@j2c695]

@@besaved2386 proceeds to be a rules lawyer lol they already acknowledged they are new to the game and we should be patient with them!

[@besaved2386]

@J2C69 Yes, they did. I just thought that narrowing things down would help them to know exactly where to look at next time. I love their videos and therefore wish to help make them as good as possible.

[@jasper_4278]

This is honestly my favorite Star Wars Legion series, the enthusiasm, table, painted units, music, the whole production is really awesome, i look forward to the next video already.

[@celestialinfinity]

same

[@RenMomoDotPog]

*chad meme* yes

[@bengamingames5002]

Imagine if Chewbacca actually ripped miniatures arms off during gameplay.... terrifying... Very entertaining, thank you!

[@Theminotard]

I would’ve been so salty having the ATST stunned for near the whole game lol

[@takkawana8380]

This speaks to my soul

[@Pappa_Palpatine]

One of my favorite things about this channel is the terrain!!!! So epic and immersive! Well done!

[@Grantux]

Awesome!!! More legion please. This table.looks great

[@PlayOnTabletop]

More to come!

[@africanmangos_4917]

The Legion Quick Guide by The Fifth Trooper is a really awesome resource. It’s an alphabetical list of all the keywords in the game that’s searchable and easy to use on your phone. I highly recommend it for anyone who plays the game

[@RevanR]

TauNick, GenestealerNick, GuardNick, and now Red Leader Nick! Gee Nick is really comes from big family

[@captainflapjax7240]

I wasn't expecting that Tycho bit at the beginning, but dang that was funny

[@thatbearboy_859]

Love the legion content! I'm just getting into it as well.

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@isaacbenrubi9613]

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE MAY THE FORCE BE... WITH... YOU...?

[@zyxxmixx]

I absolutely love the Legion videos you guys put out! They are by far the highest production quality on this very underrated game!

[@Clasteau]

Tak upset about the fate of his walker early, he should save that panic for when the unstoppable tree trunk Ewok tech shows up and smooshes it.

[@Jiancy1]

Wonderful production quality guys. This is some great stuff and wonderfully thematic.

[@IdioticSynergy]

Tonite on POT Gear: Nick gets trapped in Jar Jar's Jar, Tak uses the force to reach stuff on the top shelf and Steve wonders if he can use the word Kashyyyk in scrabble

[@takkawana8380]

I wish I could really do that

[@weaver2555]

Id love to see more legion and see how you guys would build armies and stuff

[@winters86]

First shot should have been 1 Black 1 White for Rebel Snipers. Love the table.

[@rhinorider9560]

I had just binged all your games yesterday and now a new one! What a treat for my day

[@MMPK]

This was insane!! That table was incredible! Would love to see more Legion!

[@iainscott3334]

These videos have been an ansolute blast to watch! I hope to see some more. 4 just isnt enough and the play tables are phenomenal and bring the whole game to life!

[@ishpulc]

Awesome to see more Star Wars Legion games by you guys, always love the production value and glad to see legion getting some love.

[@christiandunn2195]

Excited Never played Warhammer, but I love watching this channel, And I love star wars!

[@BoisegangGaming]

I do like how the alternating activations makes it more of a back-and-forth compared to the typically overwhelming big blob of 40k. Something I would suggest is to have some sort of counter/tracker for the remaining units in a round, just because it can kind of feel a bit difficult to tell who still has to go, along with some sort of points counter. Otherwise, really enjoying Legion and hope we see more of it!

[@besaved2386]

That is a cool suggestion. Maybe they could put a bar at the top of the screen showing the remaining order tokens in the pile.

[@Imladrith]

Love the table and your enthousiasm for the game!

[@Urikanu]

I love your legion reports, and your channel in general. Super high quality terrain, editing, effects and so on. Your Scarif report was what made me buy into legion!

[@alexthewizard6764]

Happy to see more legion!! Always quality episodes

[@mmpkao]

What an amazing table! Love legion it so much fun and watching nick play combined whit the awesome work you guys do makes such amazing videos. You guys are truly the kings of tabletop!

[@glusol]

Absolutely love your Legion and Crisis Protocol vids.

[@kaidentubbs889]

Would absolutely love to see more of this game from you guys. A huge fan of the format. FOR THD GREATER GOOD!

[@LG-vu8eb]

Great job! I've been playing legion for awhile, don't worry to much, it takes a long time to get used to because of the keywords, this is by far the best legion content on KZbin, hope to see more.

[@bleachorange]

gorgeous table, and it looks like an 800 point game! excited to see more legion on the channel, its a good ruleset for an iconic IP. For the Empire!

[@TurkeyTerminator]

THIS GAME BOARD!!! Playon, you always go over the top!!!! Too good. Jealousy is real.

[@Got3wag]

Amazing job on the terrain, great battle report too. Good job guys!

[@FireRevanShadow]

I enjoy watching these. It would be interesting to see bigger fights maybe with some republic vs empire vs rebels vs CIS. Or even a 2 v 2 thing. I am a little sad we didn't see Storm Trooper Steve but this was a fun fight. Nick is always as energetic as always and a pleasure to watch in these games. Maybe we can still get that Space Marine Steve vs. Chaos Marine Steve Narrated by Steve. If we could work in Storm Trooper Steve, I would take it. 😊

[@zincary99]

I love these Legion videos, really great work

[@Clasteau]

If that pilot survives, he's like "I have some suggestions. Maybe, at least, some rubber floormats?"

[@LordOfAllVikings]

i love your legion plays. i'd love to see more of them

[@ethanpatton7921]

That's the best advertisement i've seen on youtube in a long time. I'm sold. On both legion and the beard stuff

[@razalas1965]

This is what we needed from you guys so excited to watch this I love Star Wars and because of you guys I’m into 40k now

[@DuoXCity]

This is bizarre, I have been making custom units and using the fan made "Siege of Lothal" to make an extended 1v1 campaign called, The Liberation of Kashyyyk. So this is totally wild and exciting as f**k. I'm here for it bay-bee!

[@filipinorutherford7818]

This has the best looking models, terrain, studio and multi media presentation for tabletop gaming I habe seen. I am not confused about anything going on. When units a referenced graphical overlays are displayed, lazer or eplosion graphics are seen, zooming in on dice roles, cards played and units. Top stuff👍

[@Lmaonaise97]

As much as I love 40k I really enjoy these types of videos where it's something different. Been wanting to get into SW Legion for a little while now.

[@JayOttawa]

Beautiful table!! Keep the Legion content coming!

[@Clasteau]

The "Tickle TakAttack" will go down in tactical history.

[@TheHamno]

Those models are looking very nicely painted, good job!

[@Ttran778]

Of course Wookies are strong in melee combat, they're capable of ripping your arms clean out of their sockets.

[@Wushaaa]

the little bit of lore behind this fight is very nice actually.

[@TNAralwaysfun]

Awesome to see Legion again. Great looking models and another amazing board

[@juanv7086]

Man this video was amazing, it had motivated me to finally play Legion

[@Damagican123]

Awesome table. Great work dude!

[@nepetalejion5751]

Would love to see a game with the shadow collective!

[@DCUATL]

Beautiful table. Really made a difference.

[@AnythingButOnes]

Beast mode!! This is an amazing production just wow

[@williamwerner1535]

Really amazing content. Keep it up! We need more Legion videos.

[@ManBearPig0510]

I love Legion this board is beautiful and the beach basing looks amazing. Just a note to remember that if you have a suppression token it gives you light cover (or heavy cover if youre already in light cover). Great game hope to see more.

[@tomisopp975]

The table is absolutely awesome. Eye candy at is best and yes there are some rules problems (as already pointed out) but that is totally okay. As long as people are aware of that and some of the viewers correct all of us are learning.

[@valleygamingfowmesbgswl]

Just started SWL and please keep these coming it's helping me learn. Also lovely paint jobs and terrain

[@s0t5iranger69]

I am glad Steve is having fun with Star Wars Legion. He seems to running out of favor with 40k at least from what I saw from the 40k video where he said, "Hi, my name is Steve. I am not excited to be here."

[@Clasteau]

The table looks AWESOME!!!!

[@damenkrol1892]

Love to see you guys branching out and playing other games

[@Happylol2500]

Nice to see some legion!! Love to see even more

[@Flowfully]

if those rules @Be Saved mentioned had been applied, and Nick had a super heavy on his side like @Katar Hall mentioned then that would be something epic with lots of special effects, but only if the super heavy didnt die in 1 shot first turn lol

[@greatgypsyking104]

I love that you guys are moving out of your comfort zone more! Do you think you guys are going to go and play more Marvel Crisis Protocol anytime soon?

[@davidjones3411]

Great to see Legion on the channel

[@rkoman1]

the battlefield is amazing . Star Wars Legion is such an amazing game

[@MrZeroKage]

WOOO I've been waiting for more star wars

[@43jayboe]

EPIC! Well done and keep it coming!

[@Midnorme]

The terrain is so amazing!!!

[@hawkthetraveler6344]

nice touch to have pau holding down 2 surrendering storm troopers on their knees with hands up :)

[@aarontims]

I would love to see videos on how to make such an awesome-looking battle map!

[@willemvheerden7185]

These table tops are amazing

[@jamesreed2475]

As I'm sure many people have beat me to it there are some rules not being followed/understood. That said the production value is very high, kudos. And that's the greatest table I've ever seen, wow.

[@RideDatDonkey97]

This was amazing!

[@ellanarc]

YES. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING LEGION BACK.

[@samuelmcl.9474]

yesss. More Legion! So glad this game is getting the love it deserves

[@gordonreay4135]

I love your battle videos, really fun way to watch......equally I love your table build. Is there any chance you'll be releasing a how to build video on this table?

[@steakatron]

Happy to see some legion on here!

[@cosmonautpainting]

I would love to see you guys play more Star Wars Legion! Maybe on day you can prove yourselves a challenge for my 501st

[@rileymosman2808]

Really entertaining battle and I like the narrative focus! Very pretty models and table. A few rules errors but it's a big game so that's to be expected

[@daniellogue8365]

Beautiful board! Love the narrative games! More Legion!! :D

[@radjoelad]

Love your Legion batreps and can't wait for more - new sub here

[@adammoore99]

Holy crap that table is beautiful. Is there anywhere I can buy kashyyyk trees or find instrunctions on how they were built?

[@7Starslayer7]

as always: good stuff! please do more and more and more Legion and help promoting this beautiful game! Can´t wait for the Mandalorian Expansions in october!

[@maneferreira9825]

This table WOW!

[@johnparker7286]

This game looks so fun! Looking forward to the next video.

[@grimnartusk265]

This game actually looks really fun, the table is just magnificent and the models all look stellar, it's certainly damn interesting board to look at and play on im sure. I might have to give Legion a try!

[@Goyder93]

Very excited to hear there’s a clone wars episode on the way

[@JonasPeltomaeki]

new to this channel, and the glowing imperial bunker earned my subscribe! i am soon in the process of learning this game, and i love the narrative themed missions you guys have! learning is what we all do and im looking forward to get started on it! great channel! those trees look great! you could mix battle reports with "how we do terrain" clips, and tips n tricks on effects. maybe some tips on "i dont want my game boards too static, how can i solve this and still keep a good theme?".

[@MariusGage]

Wow that board is amazing

[@grimnartusk265]

that board is so god dang amazing holy crap

[@cadepeppley9430]

Hyped for the Clone Wars era game(s) \o/

[@data9594]

Shatterpoint is gonna be amazing

[@Magnavee]

Wooooo here it is!!

[@rileymosman2808]

I like Tak, he seems like a cool guy. I do have one note for him because it's something I've just started doing in Legion: standby tokens can be used to move as well as shoot. Now technically Iden couldn't have shot Chewbacca anyway but that's besides the point. Iden could have spent her Standby to move backward away from Chewey's melee attack, and into hard cover--basically setting Chewey up in a sweet little trap like in A New Hope when Han runs down the hallway after 2 troopers and finds like 20 standing in a room waiting for him haha Really hope to see you guys play again!

[@bernardorippe7024]

Love this vid, the table and energy is amazing. The first sniper shoot have a problem in the resolution, the hace low profile and heavy cover

[@snoopyxcore]

Great battle, good stuff!

[@rayner_s6767]

Where did you get those gunfire ATTACHMENTS? they look amazing

[@_JellyWalker]

That Kashyyyk terrain is awesome!

[@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299]
